Xiaomi: Restrict Floating Notifications During Do Not Disturb

If your Xiaomi phone keeps popping up banners while Do Not Disturb is active, incoming alerts are still showing as floating notifications instead of staying silent. The messages themselves are not lost, they simply arrive quietly in the background, but the pop-ups still interrupt whatever you are doing. This setting decides whether MIUI shows those floating banners while DND is on.

Restrict Floating Notifications in Do Not Disturb auf Xiaomi

Do Not Disturb on MIUI is meant to keep your screen calm, but by default some apps can still push a floating banner across the top of the display. This happens because the floating notification layer runs independently from the silencing of sounds and vibration. Messages still arrive and stay in your notification shade, only the visual pop-up is the issue.

You can turn this behavior off directly from the sound settings. Go to Open the SettingsTap on Sound & vibrationTap on Silent/DNDEnable or disable Restrict floating notifications.

Enabling this option suppresses the pop-up banner for every app while DND is active. Disabling it lets banners appear again, even though sound and vibration stay muted. Nothing you do here deletes or delays a message, it only changes whether it interrupts your screen visually.

If you only want to silence specific apps instead of everything, app-level notification settings are the better fix. Use this DND option when you want one single switch that applies across all apps during focus time.

Frequently asked questions
