Messenger recently sent out a server side update to my phone that I absolutely hate. I can't stand it, so I uninstalled my app and installed an older version apk that seems unaffected by the new changes. However, I now don't get pop up notifications. The icon for a new message shows up in the status bar, but there's no pop up. The lock screen is unaffected. I have made sure that the app settings for notifications are now and so are the ones in App Info on my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6, not rooted, on Android 6.0.1. I've tried numerous different versions of apks from several sources and have no idea why this is happening. Any ideas?

Hello,
I spent the last week from a Galaxy S4 under Cyanogenmod 12.1 to a Galaxy S6 with stock Android 5.1.1 ROM not rooted.
I have some "problems" with notifications, I came from Cyanogenmod so I do not know if that was a feature of this ROM or a bug / misconfiguration
from me on the S6.
Previously S4/Cyanogenmod for any notification (SMS, Gmail, Facebook, Snapchat, etc) if I was in the application in question without going through the
notification bar, once the applicaton open the notification disappeared from the bar. It worked even if I went through other way than my phone, example via my computer
notification is also suppressed from the bar
Now if I redo the same test whether via the applicaton or via other way than the phone notification remains present in the bar.
To clarify here are the steps to reproduce my case with Gmail notification:
Galaxy S4 / Cyanogenmod
- I unlocks the phone
- I open myself the Gmail application
- I open the email
- Notification disappears
Galaxy S6 / ROM stock
- I unlocks the phone
- I open myself the Gmail application
- I open the email
- Notification remains present (the same for SMS, Snapchat, etc.)
I did not think it would affect that but it is the only application relating to notifications I installed Light Manager Pro.
I also install the launcher Nova Launcher but logically it does not intervene in the notifications.
Hoping to find help here
Thank you !

Hi xstokerx,
thank you for your quick answer I found the issue, it is Light Manager Pro.
This application have a configuration "Enable tips 5.1.1 : Apply fix for system notifications LED". If I enable this tip I have the notification issue but if I disable the tip I find the basic operation of Android.
A fix creating creating an issue unfortunately....
Thank you.

Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm unable to get previews to messages on my Gear 2 anymore. I used to have a Note 3 which worked perfectly with it, all apps displayed a brief preview when the notification pops up on screen of who messaged me / what was said. Since I've upgraded to the Note 5, I was initially only able to get the previews on things like Instagram posts and Facebook notifications / messages, and only on the stock messaging app. In the last couple of days I've had nothing but the stock messaging app work with previews - everything else is just an empty notification.
I've tried resetting the Gear, uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager app, leaving all settings as default, removing phone lock, enabling and disabling preview settings on both phone and watch... nothing has worked.
Has anybody else had issues similar to this? Could it have something to do with upgrading to Lollipop? Any help would be greatly appreciated
When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.
I got my Note 10 Plus today and everything on it. Anyway, the notification icons do NOT show up on the always on, or on the notification bar on the home screen and on the app buttons. Like if I want to check Gmail or my Samsung email app I have to manually go in and check it.
I checked the apps permissions and I got notifications set on for all of them.
What gives?
Do I need to do factory reset?

Probably a quick toggle accidentally pushed. Check things like do not disturb settings and meeting sync etc.

Me also. Shows Sprint. I get notifications from my V40 which is how I know mail is in unless I check manually.
My Gmail wasn't updating in the background until I went to app settings and TURNED OFF battery optimization for Gmail. It looks like the phone kills the app to save battery, thus stopping new email notifications coming through until you open the app

My GF has a Note 8 and regardless of the settings it loves putting apps to sleep which causes missed notifications. My OP6T used to occasionally get missed notifications but compared to the Note 8 it's very well behaved.
Companies are getting too aggressive with their battery optimisations
I am having this issue as well. I have scoured the web for answers. I have tried all fixes but nothing seems to work. Anyone find a resolve yet?
I had the same issue then figured out it happened with the Goodlock app. Instead of trying to tweak the settings in just uninstalled the app and got all of my notifications back!
Hello there!
Since the samsung's september security update i have a very annoying problem in my S10 (exynos) with my pop up notifications and generally with the notifications of specific apps like messenger and microsoft outlook.
Specifically in facebook messenger i get neither lock screen notifications and pop ups since then. Although, when i delete the app and redownload it the problem is fixed for about 2-3 hours and then is there again. I have tried everything i found (clear the cache from recovery menu, disable battery optimization, enable all the notification settings in the menus, download an older version etc.) but in the end i have the same result.
Is there any other idea on how to get this problem solved ?
