So I had a Note previously, WhatsApp worked perfectly fine.
I notice now that there are a lot of weird notification issues now. I ran some tests and this is what I've found.
Screen On - Clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. Meaning, WhatsApp is not running in the background, not running at all. I use my girlfriends phone to send me 10 + messages. I get NO pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing happens. I then launch the app and see that I have 10+ unread messages under her name. I click to read the messages, and exit back to the home screen (either back arrow or home button). I send another message from her phone, and NOW I see the notifications.
Screen Off - (sleeping but app is still in the background) - I send a message from her phone, get NO push notification. But... as soon as I hit the power button to light up the screen (wake from sleep), I get the notification in the bar. I read the message, clear the notification bar.. then put the phone back to sleep. Same thing happens. While the screen is off, I get no push notifications until I turn on the screen.
Anyone having weird issues with WhatsApp? It can't be the app because it works perfectly normal on my Samsung Note. I'm thinking ICS broke it some how.
The notifications works fine for me with whatsapp. The only thing is that when I hit clear in the notification bar and haven't read the actual message, the notification will reappear again.

Same thing here just happened with me on my HTC ONE S , if screen if off and whatsapp is running i get no notification, however as soon as i press the power button immediately i get notified and the weird thing is the notification sound is the default ringtone while in whatsapp settings i have another tone set. Whatsapp was working fine. I tried reinstalling, force stopping, rebooting.
My phone is stock rom no root any help would be appreciated
EDIT (SOLVED): Disable Fast Boot under power options in settings, disabling it fixed my problem (Read it somewhere online)
I have problems with notifications when wifi is on. No problems w/out wifi
I have exact same issue on my Xperia Arc...with or without Wifi...I have ICS 4.0.3
I think it is phone independent issue...
i think you all should stop closing all apps from the task manager and everything would be fine.
you cant shut down all apps and then expect from them to work.
(at004 solution could help too)
Sorry to revive this thread, but I have a solution to the problem (I think) and I thought I might share it.
Some routers flag push messages as "Anonymous Internet Requests" which the NAT dismisses. This will effectively kill push and you'll only get your messages on the next sync.
To counter this problem you can forward the google push port to your phone.
You'll need a static IP for the phone. The port Google uses for push messages is 5228 on TCP.
Good luck with your problems!
ahh.. i got the notification problem.. there is no sound or vibrate for incoming whatsapp messages..
this happen affter i update the apps.. damn!

This happens on my brand new nexus 4
This used to happen way back when I first got my One X, but it is solved now. I thought it was because I had rooted and gone with a newer build, but I got a replacement One X stock with 2.20 and notifications work fine when screen is off.
Same issue in my nexus 4
I'm facing the same issue in my nexus 4.But this is applicable to the application which having the same properties of WhatsApp.For eg Viber.
When we are in the screen of Whats App and Viber i'm getting the notification otherwise not..
I also noticed one more thing unless we open the application the data notification in the signal bar is idle. I don't why its like that.Usually it should be always active.

Same here, with the same phone and running CyanogenMod 7.2.0.
Also seeking help on the same issue.
Seems there's no point to use this "instant" messager with this defect.
Go and complain with the makers of it as you have paid for it and using a custom ROM is 100% supported...
This is a users forum guys. If you install custom ROM some things may not work as on stock ROM.
We share experience and knowledge but not complaining about the product or demanding for a solution.
Go to WhatsApp website and tell them about the issue. I doubt they read this post.

I am participating in the beta of 7.1.2 and not sure if this problem is with the software version or persistent across other devices. I noticed that messages sent from the notification drawer (hangouts and allo) do not go through properly. Once I open the app and send a message, all of the unsent messages send immediately. Also with Allo, I don't receive messages in a timely manner, sometimes they come in hours later or only pop up if I open the app to the specific conversation. Anyone else experiencing these issues as well. On the Beta? What's the best way to report this?
Hey guys,
I have the chinese B175 rom and I don't get any notificaiton from Gmail, Facebook, Discord etc when the apps are closed. I enabled all the options for notification in the settings but it didn't seem to work either.
So i tried to search on the net and i found 2 ways to resolve it:
- lock the app and never close them
- go on international rom
The first option is battery expensive so no thanks.
As for the second one, i tried to do it but i ended bricking my phone for like 5 hours and it freaked me out so i won't ever do it again lol.
So is there any other way to resolve the problem ?
you gotta play with app permissions and notification settings and keep the app locked and running, i have Chinese version as well and battery last almost 2 days and I can get notifications for whatsapp, gmail, fb, ig and others without any issues
Ok i did what you said and i get notifications now.
I wonder if not receiving notification when the app is closed is a bug or something that Huawei did on purpose on the chinese rom...
Anyway, i hope they fix this in the next update ?
it is a bug, hopefully they will fix it soon
I'm bumping this topic to know if some latest version appeared and if they resolve the issue
Nothing new that I'm aware of. I also lock the apps to get notifications.
My phone, a Huawei mate 9 MHA-L29C636, received the Android Pie update (B159) 3 days ago and everything was working fine.
Since yesterday though, completely out of the blue, my WhatsApp notifications misbehave.
In my settings I had and still have a notification sound and default vibration set.
Now though when I receive an incoming message the LED does not light up, there is no icon in the notification bar, there is no incoming sound and there is nothing inside the notification panel but there is a vibration. This vibration though is not just once like it should be but it keeps on vibrating until I manually open WhatsApp​ and open the incoming message.
If my phone is not in my pocket and I don't notice the vibration it discharges all the battery.
I tried all the notification switches that Android pie has to offer but to no avail. Then I completely uninstalled WhatsApp, rebooted my phone and reinstalled it from the play store but the issue remains.
So I had the bright idea to try to install WhatsApp for business as a completely new app that has never been installed neither on my phone nor associated to my Google account on the playstore, using my second SIM as phone number.
You won't believe it, also this fresh installation has exactly the same issues.
Anybody experiencing similar problems?
Same to me

I suppose you are using also the app GRAVITY SCREEN ON/OFF, right?
The update from 2 days ago broke the WhatsApp notification. There was another update this morning and now everything is back to normal. Happy happy..
Right!!!
Omg, thank you for this Quick response.
Uninstalling Gravity screen and checkin again

You don't need to uninstall it, just update to the latest version from this morning. Now both gravity and whatsapp are working fine together again
