It actively kills and suppresses background execution of the apps you add to its list.
Well I want a bludgeon to get rid of all notifications. If I want to see what's new on Twitter I'll run the Twitter app, thx.

Unfortunately even with notifs turned off in-app, they still constantly run in the bg, unless/until you forcibly kill them.

On 6.0, the only way they can continue to do that is migrating to sending endless GCM high priority messages (and we lack GCM).
-
Many apps are doing exactly that, but they're @ mercy of Google's policing high priority messages. Even if some users want it.
-
The whole GCM thing is really irritating. Their own service shouldn't have an exception from these rules... not playing fair.
-
Anyway, point is just that they actually gave you what you want in AOSP but then ruined it with GCM to push their own service.
-
And hard to be happy about it in AOSP, since it just means everything is going to adopt GCM to bypass this. Not progress really.
-
Seems the right solution is just dummying-out the API for GCM except to whitelisted apps.
