I'm running mohan's Embryo 6.1 Jelly Bean and I wasn't able to figure out how to clear notifications. There used to be a little "clear" button you could press. All I can figure out is that I can swipe them away.

I must be missing something. How do you guys clear notifications? Thanks!

Also I would like to add...

I have noticed on jellybean if you install multiple programs from Google play or something the clear all button on the top right does not appear. I have also noticed apps that give notifications and work on jellybean (but are not technically supported) do not show the clear all button. If its not appearing in the top right corner, you must manually swipe them away. I don't know why Google would have you wipe away every dang app you downloaded when you download multiple apps. This has been my experience on jelly bean. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're wrong. Lol seriously though I've never encounted that issue when I update multiple apps. As for the first note, I have observed this behaviour as well. Apps written for ICS and above dont have this issue, but the majority of the code between GB and JB is vastly different

I dunno, I have never seen my clear all button disappear.

Don't know if you still need help with this but I also found the "Clear All" missing from my notification tray. Turns out it's been changed to a symbol which looks like stairs in the top right corner of the notification tray when it's expanded.
