Nexus 5 not pushing notifications

I managed to get the Galaxy gear 2 to pair with my Nexus 5, but none of the notifications are pushing from my phone to the Gear, any advice?

What answer do you want here?
1. Your phone is NOT supported
2. Get a supported SAMSUNG phone

Have you enable notifications in security settings on phone ?

This. I had enabled everything except notification access for ATN Manager in settings.
Go to Settings > Security > Notification Access and check the box beside ATN manager.
On a side note, does anyone have a way to get apps made for Gear 2 Neo on Samsung Apps store on Nexus 5? These default apps are okay but dont really do much in long term use.

I just installed ATN manager and turned on the permission to access notifications and I see no change. I have Galaxy Gear and ATNManager allowed in the Notification settings. I have gone through and check marked all of the programs I want notifications from.

In Gear Manager go to Notification and uncheck "Limit notification" and "Keep screen off" but do enable "Preview message"
There should be a section in there called "1) Instant alerts for Gear)" you should see "incoming call" underneath it - enable it.
After this, there should be another section underneath the first one "1)Notification for Gear apps", you will see ATN Manager in it - enable that. and below all of this should be "9) More notification". Select apps you want notifications from, for texting I use a third party app called EvolveSMS so therefore I had to enable notification for that app instead of Hangouts.
Good luck!

For "Notification for Gear apps" there is nothing there. But once I tapped on "More Notifications" it gave me a TOS prompt and once I agreed to it then it started working. I'm currently having other issues with ATN manager but I will open a new thread for that.

HELP

I accidentally blocked notification of my gmail app in lollipop 5.0.1
Now I can't ger the notification back and I get no email notification
I long pressed the gmail notification and pressed the silent button as shown in image attached
Please help me unblock the notification for my gmail

Just follow the selections I screenshotted .
First you need to go into Settings and go into Sound & Notifications.
Now go into App Notifications
Scroll through your apps until you see GMail and open it.
Make sure both options are switched off for you, like mine.
Let me know if this worked or not.

Both are unticked but still no notifications from GMAIL...

Try this, open Gmail. Go into the navigation drawer and open Settings. From there select your account and see if the "notifications" option is enabled.
Once done, go back and go into "inbox sound & vibrate" and again make sure notifications is enabled. Once thats done, and if it still doesn't work. Go back into "inbox sound & vibrate and enable "notify for every message".
Let me know if this works.

No effect.
I guess its something related to the silent button highlighted in the image attached in the first post...that I accidentally used.

I figured it out...it was related to filter notifications
It can be removed from filter list in
Settings >privacy >filter notification
Done

Light Manager

I have never used Light Manager before, but the idea of different colored lights for different types of notifications sounds useful. I have tried to get it to work for the past 3 days, but I can't find a combination of options that will work.
Is anyone using it successfully who might let me know what their configuration is?
I appreciate your time.

Did you remember to turn on the LED in your phone settings? You go to Settings>Notifications>Tap the gear in the upper right. Make sure you turn that switch on.
When you first open light manager it will prompt you to allow notification access which can be found under your phone's settings>apps>little gear at the top right>special access>notification access. Make sure light manager is checked. (It asks you to set that up right when you first open light manager)
After that just it should start working. Go into light manager and start setting up your colors and stuff. You can test each notification you set up (just have to make sure to turn off your screen while the test is going on)

I just re-installed it and got the notification message, now it's working fine. I don't know how I missed it the first time through. Thanks!

I just gave this a go but ambient display kept coming on every few seconds for no reason.

Yup. I installed the free light manager to test and as soon as I turned the screen off ambient display kept turning on every few seconds.

This is a bug the developer is aware of. It only applies to "Alternating Mode". I switched back to normal and it stopped.

Oh ok awesome. I didn't try that mode but will give it another try with that mode enabled.

I also had some issues with LF. My gmail functioned as it should, but I could not use sms or other apps. The developer told me how he got things to function properly. I have had no issues sense. Here is what you need to do. Just change out the app you want for notifications.
I'd recommend the following.
1. remove the contact specific notification you have set up and the standard text message notification.
2. get a text message from the contact you want specific notifications for and don't yet read it.
3. go into lightflow, notification settings and press "+" and select from all installed apps and select messenger.
4. Press "+" again and select from an outstanding notification and select the unread text message and select it and click add.
5. Find this notification and click on it (then press the pencil icon in the title to give it a meaningful name)
6. Enable the "notification person matches..." switch
7. Finally in notification settings click on the 3 lines with an arrow button at the top and drag the contact specific notification above the default messenger notification.
This is the setup I use on my 5x and 6p and pixel. It also allows you to do similar for pretty much any app or for example switch when a particular word is in a notification so it's quite customisable.
Cheers

deactivate heads-up notifications from Whatsapp on S8+ ?

Seems like a constantly reoccurring topic:
Anytime I'm using my phone, watching videos or showing others things on my phone, I'll receive any incoming whatsapp message as a very indiscreet pop-up in the top section of my screen.
I've tried using the "adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0" setting that works on some phones... sadly not on the S8+.
There's an App by Jawomo called "noHeadsUp" in the playstore, however this app involves activating (and then partially bypassing) the "do not disturb" function accompanied by the statusbar notification.
Jawomo's App "Headsoff", which worked perfectly on my S6 edge, seems to not be working on Android 7.0
Anyone have a solution to this issue?
(Pop-Up notifications are, of course, turned off in whatsapp's settings)
THANKS!

Yes only way i found now is - ON the Pop-Up notifications to, only show when Phone is OFF in WhatsApp
I had NOTE 7 and we could stop the Preview in that older phone
Why we are not able to that here

This actually disables the notifications from popping up when I'm actively using my phone.. but yeah... now they pop up when my phone is locked... not sure which is worse.
Thanks though.

ive been trying to find an answer to this for over 2 weeks since getting the s8 and still had no joy , had the same issue on s7 but there was a solution to that but doesnt work on my s8.
i have emailed whatsapp developers direct and had no response from them at all.
think the only solution for now is to use a different messaging app and delete whatsapp.

If they didn't remove system ui tuner, we could then stop it. I hate the damn crap always popping up in my face. People seem to talk more when I'm trying to watch youtube and cover the damn video.

There a free app called noheadsup that works for me. Install app and use single app setting scroll down to WhatsApp and you can disable the popup notification in there. I still get vibration alert when I get a msg.

Does it work to go to the Apps manager in the phone's Settings, and turn off Notifications for WhatsApp?

It's called "peek" now and if Samsung left the system ui tuner in, then we could disable just the peek/heads-up.

This is what I did to make it work.
Installed noheadsup
Open app and go to the in app settings (basic settings)
In the first box "disable all" make sure this is not activated
In the second box "disable single" activate this and press settings.
This will load all you apps in a list.
Scroll down to WhatsApp and select it
In this next menu make sure that allow notifications and show silently are both on. Set the "on lock screen" to not show notifications
Go back... And turn on vibration and sound alerts.
For me, the sound alerts don't work but the phone does vibrate and there are no popups. S8+

For that we do not need this App for it to show Silently
we can just go in the WhatsApp settings and
Turn on Show silently
But if the PAID version works with sound i would Pay

Doesn't work for me neither

Same here.
It disables popup, but there is no sound then..

After update i do not get mesg Previews anymore

Tiles
I have successfully disabled heads up notifications for my s8+. Get the Tiles apk by rascarlo from the Playstore, grant adb privilege, enable the head up tile, booom, goodbye intrusive heads up notifications.

Nothing is working.
Only thing that is working is to mute the notifications all together per app... so no sound or vibration. This is really a very bad thing. I hate it.

1. Activate show notifications silently in settings.
2. Download an app called lightflow and set up notifications for WhatsApp.
3. Now you won't get popups, only sound and vibration.

Using this worked for me, no headsup notification but there's still sound and vibration. I think this is the best method because it modifies a system setting instead of needing an app to run in the background all the time (how Lightflow works).

Mi Mix 3 Notification Issues

I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks

For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?

The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.

Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.

I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.

The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.

I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.

I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

It is sort of thick but is the densest phone I've ever held. Got used to it after a week or two though, I don't think it's a deal breaker
