# How to allow users to unsubscribe from push notifications on Android?

## 1. Redirect users to the phone's settings (recommended)

To ensure consistency between the notification opt-in status shown in your app and the system settings, we recommend [redirecting users to the phone's settings](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings#ACTION_APP_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS) to manage their notification preferences. To get the right toggle switch state, use [the following method](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/NotificationManagerCompat#areNotificationsEnabled\(\)).

## 2. Disable notifications display at the SDK level

On Android, the notifications display is managed at the SDK level. So, you can also choose to allow users to disable push notifications directly from the app (through a toggle system, for example):

* If you're using **SDK v3 or higher**, refer to our [managing notification display documentation](https://doc.batch.com/developer/sdk/android/advanced/customizing-notifications#managing-notification-display).
* If you are still using **version 2** of the Batch SDK, we encourage you to migrate to v3 following our [migration guide](https://doc.batch.com/developer/sdk/android/advanced/3x-migration#managing-notification-display).

You can call those methods whenever you want during the runtime of your application.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.batch.com/developer/technical-guides/how-to-guides/mobile/android-specific/how-to-allow-users-to-unsubscribe-from-push-notifications-on-android.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
