In Andrioid OS mobile, if you drag from top there will be many unread notifications, it is said that they are called push notifications.
But in my mobile i am getting many such spam notifications every hour like movie updates etc, which are not required for me.

How to disable them?
I have disabled an update process but still i am getting this updates.

Adding to the thread from : the notifications you describe are almost always generated by an app or by a website that was allowed to push messages. As said, you need to trace the source; was right that per-app controls stop many of these. Below is a short, practical checklist that covers older and newer Android releases and common causes.

  • Find the app that created the notice: long-press a current notification (or swipe slightly and tap the gear/info icon) to open that notification's App info. From there you can silence or block that app's notifications.
  • If the sender is not obvious, install a notification-history tool or use your system's Notification History (if available) to see which app posted previous alerts.
  • Browser push: check your web browser (Chrome, Firefox) Settings → Site settings → Notifications and remove any allowed sites that look like ad feeds.
  • Android 8.0+ note: many apps split alerts into channels (offers, updates, alerts). In the app's notification settings you can disable only the promotional channel and keep important alerts.
  • Test in Safe Mode: booting into Safe Mode disables third-party apps. If the spam stops there, remove recently installed or unfamiliar apps.
  • Check Play Store, system and carrier apps (show system apps) and revoke any notification or admin privileges from suspicious items before uninstalling. If an app resists removal, disable Device administrator for it first.
  • If notifications look malicious or persist after uninstall, run a reputable malware scanner; factory reset only as a last resort (back up data first).

Caveat: exact menu names vary by Android version and phone maker; use the long-press-on-notification method first — it’s the fastest way to identify and stop the sender.

And that's the rub. You have to find where they are coming from. For me I checked my phone and have all of 3 apps installed besides what was stock. You?

Go to Android settings|Sound & notification|App notifications and then go through the apps one by and block those you don't want nortifications from. This may take some time depending on how many apps you have installed of course...
