If you do not see this option

• Badges set app by app? Xiaomi's REDMI 13C steps are Badges, pick the app, turn on Show notifications, then the Notification badges switch. Ours had a switch per app right in the Badges list. Source: How to manage notification badges on the Redmi 13C?
• No Notifications & status bar? Xiaomi's older help gives Settings, Notifications & Control center, then Floating notifications under Notifications. Source: How to hide floating notifications?

If this does not work

• A pop-up covers what you are doing? Xiaomi says to swipe up on the floating notification to hide upcoming ones for a while, and to use Hide temporarily to set the time. Source: How to manage floating notifications on the REDMI 13C 5G?
• Badge on an app you never open? Xiaomi suggests keeping badges only for important apps, to avoid clutter. Turn the rest off in the Badges list. Source: How to manage notification badges on the Redmi 13C?
• Want no notifications at all from an app? That is a different switch: how to turn off notifications for an app on a Xiaomi phone.

About this guide

Badges are the red numbers on app icons. Floating notifications are the banners that drop down over what you are doing.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. Every app shown had both turned on. We only opened these screens and changed nothing.

Good to know

Lock screen notifications missing? See Xiaomi lock screen notifications not showing.

In short: Settings, Notifications & status bar: Badges (switch per app), Floating notifications (switch per app, Hide temporarily).
