Im still on KitKat and want to stay that way, simply my N7 has automatically downloaded Lollipop and has the notification to install. How can I remove this notification, delete this update to gratuitous up space, and prevent information technology from happening again?

I know this must have been covered someplace else, simply Ive spent the concluding 20 minutes searching and havent found a definitive respond....

Thanks!

I got this from some thread here.

Depends if y'all are rooted or not.

If rooted, you lot need to disable 3 receivers. To do so use one of the apps:

Autorun Managing director, or
Autostarts (gratuitous in F-Droid).

The iii receivers to disable :

service:com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
(this will run on boot competed).

com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver-
(this volition check for OTA on connectivity change).

com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
(this will check for OTA when your phone "handles" the secret code).
.........
If non rooted, I "call up" you can go to
Settings / apps
Get to All tab
Select "Google Play Services" and unselect "show notifications".

This 2nd method has some disadvantages just I don't remember what they are.

Hope this helps.

I found this yesterday:

Download System Tuner, free from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&hl=en)
Open App
Click Startups
Navigate to Google Play Services - If you practise not see this in the list, press add in the bottom right hand quarter and navigate to it
press and hold over Google Play Services
Press Open
Press Details
Press Activities
Navigate to update.SystemUpdateActivity and uncheck it
restart telephone

This did the trick for me. I am unsure whether this also removes other notifications from google, merely it certainly got rid of the annoying "system update downloaded" notification.

Or better still if y'all are using xposed framework download the NotifyClean module. Allow the Update Organization notification announced after a reboot and and so select it in NotifyClean to get rid of it. Bright!

Or better notwithstanding if you are using xposed framework download the NotifyClean module. Allow the Update System notification appear later on a reboot and and so select it in NotifyClean to get rid of it. Vivid!

Unless I'thousand mistaken, all this is doing is hiding the notification. While that's great, the notification currently says "System update downloaded", so my supposition is space is being taken up by this download which I'd really like to clear up.

With the issues many accept reported running Lollipop on the N7, I'm really surprised there isnt a mutual, well known process for this.
