Users will be able to choose to see all notification icons, only priority notification icons, or no icons at all. Similar features are already available on devices from other OEMs such as OnePlus and Samsung. Quick Settings customization may be the most talked-about feature in the latest Android Canary 2608 build, but Google is working on a bunch of new things under the hood.
