In Android 2.2, you have the option to allow applications to automatically update themselves. And that’s a good thing.

But say you don’t ever want to get a notification that updates are available. (Hey, to each his own.) If you really don’t want to be bothered, there’s a setting for that, too.

Go into the Android Market and enter the Downloads section. (On most phones you’ll need to hit the menu button first. Once there, tap the menu button again, and then choose “Notifications.” You’ll get the little menu you see here.

And after that, no more update notifications. But don’t come crying to us when you miss that latest Angry Birds update, m’kay?
