Notification command: allow messages filtering, not only application names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Notification messages are very nice, but we need to be able to blacklist some 
of them, even just a black-regex would be a huge help!

There is already a blacklist "notif:hide:#APP_NAME#" and some others features.
Do "?:notif" to have command descriptions

However I want android system notifications, but not all the Input 
notifications that things like Swype spam out, hence asking about a regex of 
the full message?  How would I do that?

By filtering every application that sends notification.

Ex: notif:hide:Swype
It might be a little painful to configure the first time but it's more 
efficient than a regexp. One regexp to manage all messages or one regexp per 
wanted message will not be very user friendly.

Try using the app filters by doing a copy past of the application name provided 
with the notification.
If it's not usable, we'll see what we can do.

Swype does not appear under its own application, it appears under the generic 
Android system application, which handles many things like input choosing 
(Swype), updates, and others.  Let me copy paste a couple android system 
messages:

New notification from *Android System* 
Choose input method
Swype

New notification from *Android System* 
Wi-Fi network available
Open Wi-Fi network available

I am getting thousands of Swype messages an hour, very few of the others, 
whichh I would prefer to keep as some give useful information.

Ok sorry, thanks for the example.

I can create a blacklist of messages too. I'll check if the command will filter 
all notification that contains the specific text, or use regexp (less user 
friendly).

I'll try to implement this in the next few weeks for the next release

Even just a start of message match would be sufficient for my needs, plus that 
would be efficient, even more so if it was bound to an application name match 
as well.

notif:black:Android System:Choose input method

Or something like that, although unsure how to handle colons in app names, 
perhaps escape them with a backslash, are colons in app names even possible on 
android?

Awesome thanks!

Although I consider regex very user friendly to this user, I can see why others 
would not.  :-)

But even still, even just a head of message match would work for my use, though 
be less useful overall.

I've got a question related to the accessibility option.
When you restart your phone, does the accessibility service stay started ?
It seems to be stopped at each reboot, can you confirm?

Thanks

I had not restarted in over a month (HTC One with Android 4.1, pending update 
to 4.3 that I have not done yet), but I did so just now as a test, disabled 
fastboot and did a full shutdown and reboot, the GTalkSMS Accessibility service 
stayed enabled.

Although I have not been getting notifications from it, I disabled then 
re-enabled the service, still no notifications.  The program responds if I send 
command to it though, just no notifications since the reboot...
