Direct answer for 2023.1
No. In Android Studio 2023.1 the severity threshold you set in Notification Settings controls visibility in the Event Log / Notifications tool window only. It does not gate the balloon pop-up that appears for Lint findings. An Info-classified Lint check can still produce a pop-up while being hidden from the Event Log.
Confirmed facts from the reported behavior
- Severity thresholds per category in Notification Settings affect the Event Log window, not the pop-up trigger.
- Pop-ups are issued by the IDE inspection reporting / notification balloon system, which is independent of the Event Log filter.
- Global IDE notification settings are not automatically inherited by new projects, so project-level lint.xml and inspection profiles can diverge.
Likely explanation vs confirmed
Confirmed: Android Studio separates "Notifications" as system events from "Inspections" as code analysis. The threshold UI you are using is part of the Notifications subsystem.
Likely, not verified for 2023.1 without current testing: Lint pop-ups are driven by the inspection severity and the per-category "Popup" toggle in Settings > Notifications, not by the Event Log severity filter. Changing a Lint check to Info in the notification threshold hides it from the log but does not disable the inspection balloon.
What changes the recommendation
The actionable control is not the Event Log threshold. Suppression is normally done via inspection severity and notification channel settings, or via project lint configuration.
Verification you can perform now:
- Open Settings > Notifications and locate the Android Lint / Lint related category. Note whether "Popup" is enabled.
- Open Settings > Editor > Inspections > Android > Lint and check the severity of the specific check that is popping up. "No highlighting" disables the inspection output that drives the balloon.
One diagnostic detail that changes the recommendation: which notification category name appears in the pop-up header and which specific Lint check id is firing. If the pop-up is from the generic "Android Lint" notification channel, the Popup toggle is the relevant control. If it is an inspection balloon, inspection severity or lint.xml suppression is required. Please confirm the category and check id.
Assumptions: behavior described is specific to Android Studio 2023.1 on the IntelliJ platform. Future releases may integrate severity filtering into pop-ups; that is not confirmed for 2023.1 and requires current verification.
