How to disable Notifications?

[Ambrosia7177]

How do I disable Notifications in Sierra?

I went to System Preferences and unchecked...

- Show notifications on lock screen
- Show in Notification Center
- Badge app icon
- Play sound for notifications

Yet I still see the Notification popup for at least one app.

Disable Apple Push Notification Service (apsd)

To disable apsd:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.apsd.plist

To enable it again:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.apsd.plist

To quickly check if it's running or not:
sudo launchctl list | fgrep apsd

I tried your commands above and they didn't work...

I am still seeing notifications even after running...

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.apsd.plist

I don't understand why unchecking all of the checkboxes under System Preferences > Notifications doesn't work. And I don't understand why your command didn't work.

What seems to be the problem?
