FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It offers a privacy-first, open-source solution with no network permissions, a live regex tester, and a notification log, giving users fine-grained control over notifications that Android's built-in settings lack.
Who it is for
- Android users annoyed by promotional notifications from apps they need
- Privacy-conscious individuals who want to avoid analytics or network access
- Developers looking for an open-source reference on NotificationListenerService and regex filtering
Use cases
- Blocking marketing messages (e.g., 'sale', 'discount') from a shopping app while keeping delivery alerts
- Whitelisting only payment confirmations from a banking app to avoid credit card offers
- Filtering out specific recurring nags like 'Rate the app' across all installed applications
Strengths
- Supports both block and allow modes that can be mixed per app, enabling whitelist or blacklist strategies
- Live regex tester in the rule editor shows the verdict before saving, reducing trial-and-error
- Notification log records every event with one-tap rule creation, simplifying pattern discovery
- No internet permission, analytics, or accounts; all data stays on the device
Considerations
- Blocked notifications may flash briefly because Android posts before the listener can dismiss them
- Sound and vibration from the sending app cannot always be suppressed before dismissal
- Aggressive battery optimizations on some devices (Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung) may kill the listener after reboot
README quick start
Push Filter
Regex notification filtering for Android. Silence the ads an app sends without silencing the app.

The problem
Your delivery app tells you the courier is downstairs. It also tells you about a 20% discount on sushi. Your bank confirms a payment, then offers you a credit card. Android only lets you turn off all notifications from an app, or keep all of them.
Push Filter sits between the app and your status bar and decides per notification, using regular expressions you write.
Features
- Two filtering modes. Block what matches, or allow only what matches. Both can be mixed on the same app.
- Per-app or global rules. A rule targets one application or every application at once.
- Matches the whole notification. Title, body, big text, inbox lines and messaging-style conversations are all searched — ads often hide in the extras that a collapsed notification never shows.
- Live regex tester. Paste a real notification into the editor and see the verdict before you save the rule.
- Notification log. Everything that arrived, blocked or passed, with search and filters. One tap turns any log entry into a rule with the app and text pre-filled.
- Ignore list. Applications you never want touched are skipped before any other work, so a chatty messenger costs nothing and never reaches the log.
- Backup. Export and import all rules and the ignore list as readable JSON.
- Log retention. Keep the log for 1, 7, 30 days or forever; old entries are pruned automatically.
- Private by construction. No network permission, no analytics, no accounts. Notification text never leaves the device.
- Material 3 UI in English and Russian, with dynamic color on Android 12+.
