Android smartphone makers are going for all kinds of gesture navigation systems. And while gesture navigation is cool, it is not as functional as the navigation buttons. Navigation buttons become even better when you customize them to include extra actions. For example, you can customize the navigation bar to add extra buttons which can execute actions such as taking a screenshot, bring down notification center, and more. In this article, we are going to show you how you can customize the navigation bar on Android to make it even more powerful and useful.
