In Android smartphones, when a new message arrives, a new mail, a missed call or for any other news, a notification appears at the top of the screen that can be read by expanding the notification bar. If you swipe the alert sideways or if you use the key to clear everything and mark as read, all notifications disappear and no longer appear until the next event.
However, if you use the delete button of a notification before having read it or if you want to review the old notifications of the previous days, there is no way to find them.
To get the list of all the notifications received on the Android phone there is a small simple trick that works on Android 4.3 and newer versions of some smartphones.
To see the complete list of all notifications, including past ones, just go to the application list, go to the widget tab and look for the one called " 1X1 settings shortcut ".
Add it to the main screen and then choose Notifications from the list of available options.
The new notifications button can be touched to open the history of all the notifications older or less received, sorted by date, with the name of the app that generated the alert next to it.
The notification shortcut can also be used to prevent some applications from sending notifications to the phone.
Just press on one of the notifications to remove the "receive notifications" option for that application.
On Android smartphones where this widget is not present, you can open the history of past notifications using the Notification History app.
