Admittedly, notifications can get a little bothersome. Good thing you can also set those up, too, with either vibration or a sound or none at all. Should you be so inclined, you may also change your theme (our default is black) to the lighter one.
Here's a nice tool to play around with. Go to Settings -> Display & Presentation, then scroll to the very bottom to Display Toolbar Buttons. Our defaults are previous article, favorite, open in browser, delete article (from your feed), share and next article. The Display Toolbar Buttons option lets you customize those buttons. You can add FB and Twitter, if you want. Pretty nifty stuff.
If you're having trouble with the settings, leave a comment and I'll help you out.
Here's how to download and install it.
1. First, go to your applications settings and tick "Unknown Sources," which will allow you to install apps that aren't on the Android Market. Typically, it's found under settings->applications. You can untick it after you've installed the app if you feel uneasy with it being on.
2. You may click here to download, or if you have your Android phone handy, just scan this QR code.
3. If your Android asks you to select a browser, I'd recommend you use the default Android browser. I've tried it on Dolphin Mini and Opera Mini, and installing it becomes a bit of pain because you have to find it with an Easy Installer app after you've downloaded it. Using the default browser, the OS will just show the download progress in your notification page. Once the download completes, simply click to install.

Thank you, everyone! To make it a little bit more interesting, I'm thinking of rewarding one lucky person who actually took the time to install the app, just dunno how much of a prize I can give just yet, though. Maybe Art of Dave Struzan? I'll keep you posted!
