It could be any number of apps. To maybe find out which one, try this. Go to the Galaxy App store and install Samsung's Good Lock app. On the second tab, find the Nice Catch module and install it. With Nice Catch, you can find out which apps are causing any sort of notification, vibration, etc. Make sure all options are toggled on within the module. When the notification happens again, Nice Catch will register it and (hopefully) tell you what it is.

These ads are coming from an app that is installed on your phone. Would you happen to have installed any new apps recently? After you remove the app in question, the ads will stop.

Sounds like you got malware for sure. Need to Svan your device for threats. Or just factory reset your phone and start fresh.
