Quickly Notification Shortcuts v0.99.5
[by Decad3nce]
Requirements: Android 4.1+
One of Android Police’s 55 best new apps for February.
Quickly is a simple app that creates an ongoing notification in your notification drawer filled with up to 12 shortcuts to an application launcher, direct dial contacts, direct dial messaging, or applications that you can configure.
Once the notification is created, expand the notification to see the shortcuts.
The nice thing about Quickly is that it never runs in the background, and the only system resource it uses is about 800kb for it’s notification. It’s lightweight and efficient and will remain that way.
NOTE:
If you’re using a Android 4.1 you will have to use a pinch-to-expand gesture to show the shortcuts when the notification is collapsed.
“This addon uses pinch motions, not swipe motions. pinch from center to edge of notification area to get the shortcuts to display, and from edge to center to collapse it.”
Thank you Tim Strobel!
