Save Battery Life: Turn Off Push Notifications for Applications on iPhone, iPad or iPod

Disabling Push Notifications

Push notifications are used on iOS devices to notify you either with a sound, a pop up message or a little red circle with a number in it on the App’s icon.
They are very handy but they also drain battery life at a great rate.
It’s good practice to regularaly check your list of Apps to see which ones have Push enabled and disable the ones you don’t need.
I’d recommend some careful thinking about this one – you probably don’t need as much as you first think.
Here’s how to do it:
1.  Tap Settings
2.  Tap Notifications
3a.  To turn off all Application’s Push Notifications by toggling the Notifications ON/OFF switch at the top
3b.  If you prefer to adjust notifications on an App by App basis then look down the list of Apps and you’ll see what’s turned on beneath the App name.
To turn off enter each individual Apps Notifications page and toggle Badges, Alerts and Sounds as required.
This was tested on an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.3.2.
