Samsung Push Service

Samsung's notification delivery channel for its own apps and services, similar to Google's push service. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Samsung Push Service keeps a connection to Samsung's servers so Samsung apps and services can deliver notifications and messages to the phone, for example account alerts, Galaxy Store notices and messages from Samsung services. It has no screen and runs in the background. Samsung publishes it on the Play Store so it can be updated separately from the system.

If you disable it

Notifications and remote messages from Samsung's own apps and services may stop arriving. Apps that use Google's push service are not affected.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.spp.push

adb shell pm enable com.sec.spp.push

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.spp.push

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.sec.spp.push

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery
