Hello All,

Please see the photo below. I keep getting the notification seen in the picture on nearly a daily basis. Can anybody tell me what the heck it is, what it means, and why I am getting it?

As of the moment, I'm treating it as adware/spyware/malware and I will not let it install. If you click it, it brings up the package installer. For the moment I just clear my cache and my dalvik, then do a restart and it doesn't show up for a few more hours.

I greatly appreciate your help!

Got any new Apps that you installed around the same time you starting getting them? I only see Notifications like that from an App that pushes it, so I would assume it's coming from something you downloaded on there.

Honestly none come to mind. I'm hoping someone on here might be a native and be able to translate it ...

That is a airpush ad.. It's caused by an application you downloaded, download airpush detector from the play store and it will tell you which app is causing this, delete the app and it won't happen again.. Here's a link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector

I downloaded this app and hopefully it will work the next time I get the notification! I tried running it and it didn't pick anything up, then again I don't have the notification right now either.




Do you have any of the "go" software, like golauncher or gokeyboard? The keyboard was the culprit when I had it...

I haven't screwed around with the "GO" products in a long time and definitely not in my last two upgrades in CleanROM.

Can also just try and download adaway it blocks all the annoying notifications

I'm going to wait for the notification to push again and I'll see if the first 2 tools I downloaded reveal the source. If that doesn't work, then i'll try masking it with adaway.

If it were me and I couldn't find the source, I'd bite the bullet and wipe and reinstall. No way I'd keep something like that on my phone. My $.02

UPDATE: The notification popped up but didn't register on either of the apps that you guys had suggested I download. I searched the Google Play Store and I found a different app that yielded the picture I have shown below.

All of these should be trusted Apps. Any ideas? Also, it would make no difference if I wiped my phone clean and started over, as I have seen this issue pop up on my last several builds of CleanROM. (I always do a full wipe in between versions).

I would work backwards... How long have you been getting this push notification? What apps have you downloaded around that same time? Delete each app one at a time to find out which one is pushing. Had one similar to this but can't remember what it was from. Would try deleting the apps in your screen shot. Even if they are trusted apps, doesn't mean they don't push things.

My guess would be ebay or the last two apps. Ebay wouldn't surprise me

That really could be a pain because the notification only pops up once in a while. In theory, I could be without some of my crucial apps that I use everyday for many days before something pops up.

I'm still hopeful that someone might be able to translate what it says to provide some insight.

Understandable... Another option might to look at the apps on the market and read the reviews... A lot of times people will comment on push notifications.

Sorry don't know any chinese

Got something similar when I was using one of the "Goapps". Uninstalled and haven't seen 'em since... YMMV

I wish this was the case, but I don't have any Goapps installed.

The ad is gonna be from an app so it doesn't matter if you wipe or revert to stock, so you downloaded adaway and ran the app? Music paradise gives me one of those annoying push notifications but adaway stops it. Btw you have to press download files and apply ad blocking on the adaway app

Adaway did nothing so I'm trying AdFree at the moment per the suggestion above.
