How to Turn Off Notifications on Xiaomi: 5 Ways to Get MIUI 14/15

Notifications on Xiaomi smartphones can turn into a real headache: constant alerts from the company MIUI-And even in Do Not Disturb mode, some notifications get through the settings, and if you're tired of this noise, you're not alone. According to a study by Counterpoint Research, 68% of Xiaomi users have tried to completely disable notifications at least once, but faced the fact that they return after updates or resets.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can disable notifications on Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and Black Shark devices, from basic MIUI settings to hidden developer settings. We’ll focus on the unique feature of MIUI 14/15: even after manually shutting down, some services (e.g., com.miui.systemAdSolution) automatically turn on notifications after 24 to 48 hours.

1. Disable notifications via standard MIUI settings

To start with, the obvious is the built-in MIUI tools, which are suitable for most users and do not require super-user rights, but note that it does not block system warnings (such as low battery power or overheating).

To disable notifications for all applications:

1. Go to Settings → Notifications and Status bar.
2. Select the Notifications Management option.
3. In the upper right corner, press three dots (⋮) and select Show System Applications.
4. For each application, turn off the Allow Notifications switch.

To speed up the process, you can use a filter: enter the name of the application (for example, Mi Video or Browser) in the search bar at the top of the screen. Note: some system services (for example, Security or Cleaner) may hide their notifications under other names.

2. Block notifications via "Do Not Disturb"

The MIUI's Do Not Disturb (DND) mode allows you to temporarily or permanently block all notifications except calls and alarms, but by default it skips "priority" alerts - they need to be manually disabled.

How to set up:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration → Don't disturb.
• 🔄 Select Settings → Allow exceptions.
• ❌ Disable all items: Events and reminders, Messages, Calls (if not necessary).
• ⏰ Set a schedule for Always or select a time interval.

💡

If notifications still appear after activating the DND, check the Security settings. In some versions of MIUI, it ignores Do Not Disturb mode and requires a separate disablement of notifications.

An important caveat: in MIUI 15, DND automatically shuts down after the device restarts. To avoid this, activate the option to turn on automatically on schedule and set the time from 00:00 to 23:59.

3. Hidden notification settings in MIUI (for power users)

MIUI hides some of the notification options in the developer menu and special codes, which allow you to disable even those alerts that are not blocked by standard methods (for example, ads in the status bar).

Method 1: through the developer menu:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and click on MIUI Version 7 times.
2. Back to Settings → Additionally. → For developers.
3. Find Debugging → Disable debugging notifications (this blocks system notifications about USB connection).
4. Slick down and turn off Show Charging Notifications and Network Notifications.

Method 2: Using secret codes:

• 📞 Enter the code # #36446337## in the phone application and this will open the notification testing menu.
• 🔍 Select Notification Test → Disable All Notifications (not available on all models).
• 📱 To reset notification settings, use the code ##7378423## (caution: reset all personal settings!).

4. Disabling notifications from MIUI system applications

The most challenging category is Xiaomi system services, which ignore standard settings.

• 📢 Mi Push Service – responsible for push notifications (including advertising).
• 🔍 Security – Antivirus and optimizer that shows notifications about “problems".
• 🎬 Mi Video and Music – send ads even if you don’t use them.
• 📊 Analytics – Collects data and shows “helpful tips".

To turn them off:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. In the search, enter the name of the system application (for example, Security).
3. Select Notifications and disable all categories.
4. To completely disable, click Stop (this will suspend the application until the reboot).

5. Radical methods: Disconnection through ADB and root

If standard methods don't work, you'll have to use developer tools, which require a PC connection and basic command line knowledge.

Method 1: Disconnecting via ADB (without root)

1. Install Platform Tools on your PC.
2. Connect your phone via USB and allow debugging (Settings → Developers → USB debugging).
3. Open the command line in the adb.exe folder and type: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.systemAdSolution (disables the ad service).
4. To block all notifications from a particular application: adb shell appops set [package_name] NOTIFICATIONS deny (replace) [package_name] to the package name, for example com.android.browser).

Method 2: Remove System Applications (Requires root)

• 🛠️ Install Magisk and System App Remover.
• 🗑️ Find the apps in com.xiaomi.mipicks, com.miui.analytics and delete them.
• ⚠️ Attention: Removing critical services (e.g. com.android.systemui) may result in bootloop (a looped boot).

💡

Disabling via ADB is the most reliable way, but requires re-execution after resetting settings or updating MIUI.

6. How to prevent automatic activation of notifications

One of the most annoying features of MIUI is the autorecovery of notifications after updates or reboots.

• 🔄 Turn off automatic updates MIUI: Settings → The phone. → Updating the system → ⋮ → Settings → Auto-update (Off.).
• 📵 Freeze problematic apps with App Freezer (requires root) or through ADB: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.analytics
• 🔒 Set a password for notification settings: Settings → System and device → Additionally. → Protection of settings (not available on all models).

If the notifications are returned after reset to factory settings, before reset, do:

1. Backup the list of blocked notifications through Settings → Notifications → ⋮ → Export of settings.
2. After reset, import the settings back.

💡

Some firmware (e.g. Xiaomi.EU) has the option “Block system notifications” in the Settings → Special features menu. Activate it if available.

7. Alternative solutions: third-party applications and firmware

If none of these methods have worked, consider the following options:

• 📱 Install custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience) that doesn't have system notifications. MIUI, but requires unlocking the loader.
• 🛡️ Use blocking apps: Notisave saves notifications in the log but does not show them. AutoNotification (for Tasker) allows you to create blocking rules. Blokada blocks advertising shoots at the level of the security system. DNS.
• 🔄 Go to Global. ROM China ROM — There are fewer advertisements and system alerts.

⚠️ Note: Installing custom firmware voids warranty and may result in data loss. On some models (e.g. Xiaomi 13 Ultra), unlocking a bootloader requires waiting 168 hours (7 days) after the Mi Account is linked.

8. Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them

When disabling notifications, users often face typical problems:

• 🔕 "Notifications are returned after update" → Solution: Before updating, disable the automatic installation via Settings → Annexes → Updating the system → ⋮ → Auto-update.
• 📵 "I can't turn off notifications from Security" → Solution: Use ADB-Command: Adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter (disables the application completely).
• 🔊 "The notifications are off, but the vibration is still there" → Solution: Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibration on notifications.

Another common mistake is to disable notifications via the app menu (like WhatsApp or Telegram), which only blocks pop-up alerts, but does not remove them from the curtain. To remove them completely, use the MIUI settings as described in the first section.

⚠️ Attention: On devices with MIUI for POCO (for example, POCO X6 Pro) some notification settings are duplicated in the annex POCO Launcher Settings. check them separately!
