I'm brand new to Android so this is something that I just learned: long press on a notification to see which app issued it. For me, a long press on a notification shows a larger screen (for the app that is showing the notification) and there is an "App Info" button that I can press. That will show which installed app is associated to the notification. You did not say WHERE you are seeing the ads. If not as a notification then WHERE do you see ads? In the web browser? If so, which one? I recall reading some web browsers that come with a built-in ad blocker (Opera and Slimjet, both Chromium based). For others, like Firefox, you need to install an adblocker add-on (I use uBlock Origin).
