After my Pixel updated recently to Oreo, being frustrated by a constant notification for Twilight (a red-tinting background app) and starting to search on google for a solution -- I discovered quite a lot of people have been asking 'how to suppress notifications on oreo' recently.
FWIW you can control the notification snooze timeout, but you're going to need Tasker [1] (or similar). Interestingly I evidently bought this several years ago - can't remember why - and haven't installed it on at least the last two phones, since some version of Android a few years ago shipped with whatever native functionality Tasker used to provide for me.

- Eridrus 9y agoOreo actually broke Twilight on non-Pixel devices, I'm surprised it still works for you, I guess Twilight can access the night mode driver. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this.
- grepthisab 9y agoIn the middle of updating my Pixel XL, use Twilight daily. Will it still work after the update?
- izacus 9y agoPixels have a built-in tinting mode which actually does filtering on compositor level. What does Twilight add to that?
- Jedd 9y agoGentle transition periods (I have mine set to a half hour), offsets from sunset/sunrise, hue (and other smart bulb) integration. A few other features that I don't use. I'm experimenting now with native compositor, which hopefully presents a better colour mix than Twilight was able to (good but not perfect).
- mcescalante 9y agoI am using the built-in "Adaptive brightness" with my Pixel XL and have also used twilight, f.lux (on a rooted Nexus 6). I would say to just go with "Adaptive brightness." It has the least issues overall and definitely won't be a bother in terms of persistent background notifications or anything else, especially with the new Android.
- discreditable 9y agoWere you aware that Android has built-in tinting capability? It's under Display > Night Light. There's a quick tile for it too.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoI think this is vendor implemented (or maybe vendor crippled). It does not appear on Huawei android 6.0
- joshuamorton 9y agoThat's only available on 7.0+ phones with hardware support (currently I think only the pixels?)

- on_and_off 9y agoTwilight is a third party app. It draws a red layer on top of everything else. This is why the system displays a notification : it wants you to know that an app is drawing on top of everything. The system settings works very differently, it directly applies a matrix to what needs to be displayed. This is way more efficiencient since applying this matrix is basically free instead of adding one layer with alpha composition. It also allows other customizations, like adapting the screen for deuteranomaly. Ideally, Google should open the API behind this feature at some point.
- drdaeman 9y agoNot really. It worked for me even on old CM13 (6.0-based) on ZenFone 2. That's a custom ROM, though.
- kuschku 9y agoThat is only available on the Pixels, not even on the Nexus 5X (which has similar hardware for that). Since 8.0, it is impossible to get any kind of night light on the Nexus 5X without a custom rom.

- Jedd 9y agoYup, but I like it even more out of the way - the Tasker / script approach to (via the API) tell it to snooze notifications for some years is likely the best bet. By default you can snooze notifications for, at most, 2 hours.
