Android: is it possible to remove a system notification programmatically?

Question

I created an application that sets up a vpn profile and connects to it. When I'm connected, I want my notification to be shown, but the android provides its own notification, which is displayed during the life of the VPN connection.

Do I need to “delete” this notification, or at least remove the corresponding icon from the top of the screen?

Answer 1

This is not possible for Android, sorry.

You cannot control notifications outside of your own application, regardless of whether they belong to another third-party application or system. Only your own notifications can be updated or rejected by you.
