Tired of Xiaomi’s screen being littered with dozens of notifications from games, instant messengers and system applications, you’re not alone: Statistically, 68 percent of smartphone users on MIUI and HyperOS complain of excessive “spam attack” from apps, and the problem is relevant for both Xiaomi 14 Ultra flagships and the budget Redmi Note 12.
In this article, we will look at all the ways Xiaomi can disable notifications, including hidden MIUI settings that the manufacturer does not advertise. We will look at both global shutdown of all the alerts and selective locking for individual applications (including system ones), and we will also look at why, even after turning off, some notifications continue to appear – and how to fix this.
1. Quickly disable all notifications through the curtain
The easiest way to temporarily silence all alerts is to use the Quick Settings Panel, which works on all versions of MIUI (12 to 14) and the new HyperOS, but has a limitation: it only disables notifications until the next device restarts.
Instructions:
- Swipe your finger down to open the notification panel.
- Swipe down again to deploy the full Quick Settings panel.
- Find the icon Do not disturb (bell icon with crossed line).
- Slap it once - the mode is activated.
⚠️ Note: Do Not Disturb will block all sounds and vibrations, including alarms and bells. To leave important alerts, set exceptions to Settings → Sound and vibration → Don't disturb. → Rules.
2. Completely disabling notifications for a specific application
If you get sick of spam from one or two apps (like Mi Video or GetApps), it doesn't make sense to turn off all alerts, instead you can block notifications selectively, and this method works even for system applications that can't be removed.
Step-by-step:
- 📱 Open the Settings. → Annexes → Application management.
- 🔍 In the list, find the app you want (such as Mi Browser or Facebook).
- 🔔 Slip on the Notification item.
- 🔕 Translate the slider Show notifications to the off position..
Some system applications (e.g. Security or MiuiDaemon) may require additional confirmation via Permissions. If the notification button is inactive, the application is secure, you will need to use the permissions. ADB-Teams (about this in section 5).
Make sure that the application is not related to security (antivirus, banking services)
Check if there are any important alerts (e.g. two-factor authorization)
Backup settings (Settings → My device → Backup)
Reboot your phone after the changes-->
3. Hidden MIUI settings: disabling smart notifications
MIUI and HyperOS are actively using machine learning algorithms to display “relevant” notifications, such as automatically highlighting messages from frequently used contacts or applications, to disable this feature:
Steps:
- Go to Settings → Notifications and Status bar.
- Select Advanced Settings.
- Turn off the following options: 🤖 Smart notifications (analyzes your actions) 📊 Notification statistics (collects activity data) 🔔 Priority notification sounds (changes volume depending on importance)
Once these features are disabled, the system will stop sorting notifications by “importance” and showing them at the top of the screen, which is especially useful if you notice that some alerts appear even after they are manually disabled in the application settings.
💡
If important notifications (e.g. from banking applications) have disappeared after disabling smart notifications, check the priority settings in the Settings → Applications → Special Rights → Priority of Notifications section.
4. Block notifications through Mi Account settings
Many users don't know that some of the notifications don't come from apps, but from Xiaomi services linked to Mi Accounts, which are push messages about new features, updates or promotions that can be turned off centrally.
How to do this:
- 👤 Open the Settings. → Xiaomi account.
- 📋 Go to Mi Cloud. → Notifications.
- 🚫 Disable all unnecessary options: Mi recommendations (advertising) System updates (if you do not want to receive reminders) Service messages (information about technical works)
| Type of notification | What's blocking | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Recommendations Mi | Advertising push messages about new products Xiaomi | Turn off (spam) |
| System updates | Reminders of new versions of MIUI/HyperOS | Leave if updates are important |
| Service communications | Information on planned service shutdowns | Leave (important for Mi Cloud) |
| Security | Sign-in alerts from a new device | Leave (break-in protection) |
⚠️ Note: Disabling Service Messages may result in you not being aware of planned Mi Cloud shutdowns or changes to privacy policy.If you use Xiaomi Cloud Storage, leave this option active.
5. Radical method: disabling notifications via ADB
Some system applications (such as MiuiDaemon, Analytics, or MSA) ignore standard settings and keep sending notifications, in which case only ADB (Android Debug Bridge) – a tool for low-level management of Android – will help.
Instructions for Windows:
- Download Google’s Platform Tools and unpack it into the C:\adb folder.
- On the phone, activate Developer Mode (7 times tap the MIUI version in Settings → About the phone).
- Enable USB debugging in Settings → Additional → For developers.
- Connect your phone to your PC and type in the command line: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.daemon (replace com.miui.daemon with the desired application package).
List of system applications that are often retarded with notifications:
- com.miui.daemon is the MIUI system demon
- com.xiaomi.market – GetApps (app store)
- com.miui.analytics – statistics collection
- com.miui.systemAdSolution – Advertising Module
What happens if you disable the system application through ADB?
6.How to prohibit advertising notices in MIUI
One of the most annoying things about MIUI is the ads embedded in the system notifications, which can appear as:
- 📢 Push messages about new functions
- 🛒 Advertising banners in the curtain of notifications
- 🎁 Offers to install applications from GetApps
To disable the ads:
- Go to Settings → Memory → Cleanup.
- Slap the icon. ⚙️ (settings) in upper right corner.
- Turn off the recommendation option.
- Return to Settings → Notifications and Status bar and turn off Advertising Notifications.
If the ads continue to appear, check the settings in Mi Video, Mi Music, and GetApps – these apps often have their own ad modules that need to be turned off separately.
💡
Disabling ads in MIUI does not remove them completely - some banners may appear in widgets or on the lock screen.
7. Additional methods: third-party applications and root
If the standard methods didn't work, you can use third-party tools.
No root rights:
- 🛡️ Notification Analyzer – shows which apps are sending notifications and allows you to block them.
- 🔔 AutoNotification (Tasker plugin) – flexible configuration of notification filters.
With root rights:
- 🔧 Xposed Framework + NotifyClean Module – Full Control of Notifications.
- 🗑️ Titanium Backup – Freeze System Applications That Send Spam.
⚠️ Note: Using root rights or modified firmware (LineageOS, Pixel Experience) will void the warranty on the device.In addition, after obtaining root access, some banking applications (for example, SberBank Online or Tinkoff) may stop working due to security policies.
