Hi
I'm currently running Terminus + CodeBlue kernel and having serious issues with push notifications. Pretty much only notification that I get when screen is locked, is calls.
All apps update when they are opened but not a second before. I have autosync etc on. When I'm on my WiFi whatsapp sometimes does not fetch new messages even if I open the app however on 4G it does that.
AFAIK this was not a issue for me on stock 5.0. Anyone having similar issues or am I alone on this one. I've done 10+ Clean flashes on the ROM and kernel..
Issue: Having anything I do interrupted by random, useless WhatsApp messages or other notifications because of Google's glorious decision to force iPhone-style intrusive notifications on us with Lollipop
After doing some research, I've found a ROM called Cataclysm that seems to fix this problem nicely. Problem being, its dev only cares about outdated devices like the Nexus 5.
I've tried the SlimSaber and BlissPop ROMs, both of which feature a supposedly working option in the app-specific notification settings.
However, on neither of these, the switch actually changed anything.
I've tried enabling WhatsApp's internal "Show a pop-up" to "When screen is off", and that's partially a solution. Now, as long as the screen is on, notifications move nicely to the status bar: Just where they belong. Problem being: Whenever the screen is off, I get the useless pop-up whenever I receive a message (Working as intended though, not WhatsApp's fault).
I remember that, mid-December, a LiquidSmooth Lollipop build (03/12 or 08/12) did not feature such notifications, which was amazing. It did randomly restart every 10 minutes or so though.
Have any of you found a solution for that issue? I'm sure I'm not the only one being annoyed by Google's awesome new features, this alongside with the removal of silent mode.
It's the first time for a long while I've held back on getting to newer Android version, because right now, Lollipop is just crap in these two aspects. Here's to hoping Android 5.1 will unf*ck most of these errors.
I've finally found a temporary workaround.
Using a version of Whatsapp previous to 4.11.444 results in Whatsapp actually respecting the settings.
Why this was removed in 444, only the mildly incompetent developers are Whatsapp are ever going to know.
Still, I had hoped Google would be a bit more thorough with enforcing settings - not allowing individual devs to override global settings.
Since I updated to firmware version G920FXXU3COI9 I am having problems in applications and processes running in background, mainly truecaller, I don't get it working when i receive a call unless I open the app manually, once opened it will work with every incoming call normally for couple of hours then its process is killed and never works again till i initiate it manually.
I tried the battery optimization feature with all possible ways: Auto optimizing - no optimizing - always optimizing - even I closed the feature for all apps and nothing helped.
Even I restored factory settings and the problem still there
Any ideas for a solution rather than rooting?
My S7 edge is running android 7.0. The latest release of the facebook app will not *stick* the notification sound I've selected under the app's notification settings. It stays on the sound/ringtone I've selected only until I reboot the device or force stop the app. I've tried clearing the cache and deleting the data - no change. I've also tried reinstalling the app - no change.
Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this behavior on their device?
Thanks
In response to my own post -which often happens here on xda- my issue has been resolved. As it turns out, the latest public release of Facebook (v132.0.0.20.85) is seemingly plagued by a bug that reverts the app's user-selected notification sound. Apparently, however, not many folks are upset about this, since there's virtually nothing posted about it anywhere. It bothers me because I like unique notification sounds for each of my apps. That way I can tell which app has received a new message without looking at my phone's screen - it can be handy.
To resolve the problem, I simply downloaded and installed the beta version of Facebook (v133.0.0.16.83). I then tested it, and voilà ... the notification sticking problem was history. It would've been nice had someone replied in this thread to let me know that their installation of the most recent public Facebook app was afflicted with the same bug. That way I could have deduced how to fix the issue much sooner. But I guess it's a lot of trouble for most folks to simply type, "mine does that, too." Admittedly, it's not a huge issue... but it's certainly an irritant.

It looks like I solved my problem by reading about push notifications here:
https://help.moengage.com/hc/en-us/...not-receiving-push-notifications-sent-by-you-
It got me thinking that GCM service in my Nokia 7 plus is not properly connecting with Google’s servers. So I looked around how to hard reset my device using this tutorial:
NOTE: [THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES FIRST]
http://www.techeligible.com/2018/05/27/unlock-pattern-nokia-7-plus/
select Wipe data/factory reset.
After restart configure your phone as a NEW DEVICE. Push notifications seem to work as they should. They are waking the device from sleep mode immediately.
This method will most likely work for all Android devices.

I really like this phone but the push notification problem just kills me.
When phone is in sleep mode push notification don't wake it up.
Just leave the phone on the desk for 15 minutes and send yourself an email from different device.
Same applies to WhatsApp. If someone sends me a message it can take half an hour before phone will show notification.
This is frustrating and apparently there is no fix.
I did even factory reset and the problem persists.
Tweaks like exclude app from battery optimazation don't work.
This clearly Android Oreo fault.
Google is so fixated to save battery that it castrates crucial functionality
+1 to the delayed notifications problem!
As you wake the device up, the Whatsapp icon also keep showing in the taskbar - "Checking for new messages" quite often.
that also happens at intervals while the device is ON & other apps are being run.
I hope this, the fingerprint navigation (left+right), battery SOT, stability will improve with proper update to Andro-P. and SOON!
Same problem here. "Heartbet" apps dont work either.
Same here! Maybe it's push notifications server problem?
pls. make sure that notification apps have permission to work in back ground as it may be restricted for battery saving

[SOLVED] First post.

Gmail and WhatsApp are excluded in battery optimazation. It makes no difference.
Gmail is a Google app. It comes with system but push notifications are not working properly.
There in no other way to set apps to work in background. At least I didn't find such option...
Didn't work for me. Anybody else managed to fix this?

Android Pie
Bump...ish
Anyone experiencing delayed push notifications on Android Pie?
Do you have location enabled (saving battery location setting)? Disabling location can cause notification delays.

I never really turn off location services. Is this setting you are talking about the battery optimization for apps? I can turn that off for location services.
I have 1062 with pie sideloaded and i'm not getting any push notifications from apps except for gmail. Factory reset and setting phone as new device didn't help.

1062 (if chinese with custom global rom) its not really possible to install Pie, its not stable in this one, Oreo still best for 1062

I had the exact same issue and it was really frustrating me. Resetting my phone didn’t help as detailed here. But finally after some playing around i fixed mine
In the battery settings i enabled Adaptive battery and then went into background activity manager. I enabled both auto activate and lock screen on all the apps i had problems with receiving notifications. Now i get all app notifications straight away with no delays

I've tested this solution for a couple of days and it seems it's working, thanks.

Is this for Android 8? I am having the same problem but I cant seem to find the auto activate and lock screen settings in the BAM. The only option is to blacklist. I am on Android 9.
