In Android 14, you can manually revoke the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission from apps so they can't send you full-screen notifications.
Later this year, Google Play will auto revoke this permission from newly installed apps that don't provide calling or alarm functionality!
Users will be able to manually revoke that permission on Android 14 (already available in the current beta under Apps -> Special app access -> Full screen notifications);
Google Play will auto-revoke those permissions from newly installed apps unless they provide call or alarm functionality;
This permission will remain for apps that were installed before the Android 14 update.
Some apps already display ads as notifications I think? Won’t be crazy to imagine that there might be apps who’d do that using this fullscreen intent to show you a fullscreen ad even when your phone is locked, as if you had received a call. But again I’m probably outdated on this and just speculating, haven’t had a single app displaying ads since a very long time.

Its permissions for fullscreen notifications, i dont think many apps send ads that way. They can just show them fullscreen when your using the app.
