How To Disable Nvidia Shield Notifications
Or turn off any notifications you don't want to see on your home screen
The Nvidia Shield Notifications Center is part of the Leanback launcher which comes installed on only a select few Android media streamers.
Currently the Nvidia Shield TV media streamer and Mi Box both use this special version of the Android OS which was made especially for watching TV from the couch, rather than using the OS on a tablet or phone.
Turning off or limiting unneeded notifications on your Nvidia Shield has the added benefit of increasing performance by eliminating the need for unwanted apps pushing their notifications to the home screen.

Step 2. Click the gear icon and this opens up your settings window on the far right of your screen. This lets you adjust various settings on your Nvidia Shield.Step 4. Scroll down towards the bottom and click on the Notifications slider. If it is highlighted as shown, notifications are turned "ON" for that particular app.
Step 5. Verify the slider is set to the left and greyed out. Notifications will now be turned "OFF" and you will no longer receive any more notifications from that app. Repeat this process for each remaining app you no longer wish to receive any notifications for.

This way all the notifications will be relevant to only the apps you want.
