I bought this device knowing there would be potential notification issues, but I had seen mixed reports that the L29 model may not suffer from them. It took about a day, but they finally started showing up. My main issue is email. I have tried stock Gmail, Bluemail and Typemail (same app, basically). After the screen has been off for about 5 minutes, I stop getting notifications for email.
I have seen people blame this on doze, but my Nexus 6p isn't nearly this bad, at least not until it has been sitting for hours. I have tried everything to resolve this including:
Whitelist in battery manager
Whitelist in Doze settings
Notifications set to priority
Rooting and making Bluemail a system app (which I can't quite get to work for some reason)
Editing the doze settings with the doze setting editor app found on here
Running in Performance mode
Updating to B162
Disabling Phone Manager with Titanium Backup
Even all of these things in combination are not working. Nothing works. Since other Huawei devices have this issue, it doesn't seem like Huawei is planning to fix it. I know people want to blame Doze, but neither my Moto X Pure or Nexus 6P are this bad, both of which are running Marshmallow. Something else is going on with the ROM. Short of getting an actual Cyanogenmod port, I don't know that we'll ever see this resolved.
It's frustrating, too, because I like everything else about this phone, but this is a pretty big deal. A Smartphone that doesn't get notifications reliably is pretty useless.
I have the exact same issue as you, and have tried everything that you have tried as well.
Can't get it to work. It's like saying goodbye to a girl you really really love...
Please fix this somehow... anyone...?
Oh look, another thread about notification issues. This one should help. Has any of you made sure that mobile data stays on after screen goes off?

All settings are on, mobiledata during screen off, wifi always enabled etc.
It is not about receiving notification, it's about receiving them instant the same second as they are received.
We don't want to receive delayed 5-10mins notifications.
This happen both on mobiledata and on wifi as well.
Oh I can assure you that is a feature belonging to Android 6 called doze function. The phones who are updated to MM mostly received a not fully functioning version of Android 6.0. So you can not compare them.

What? So you're saying that the Nexus 6p has a "not fully functioning version of Android 6.0"? Go home, you're drunk. That phone does not have this issue, not to this extent.
It's not doze. I have manually edited the doze settings and the issue persists.
try disabling gmail, install outlook and protect it in the battery settings. then go into notifications and make sure it pops up how you want it to.
When i changed my locckscreen I started getting notifications regularly. Try a third party lockscreen app.

I wasn't even using gmail at first. I was using Bluemail (which is actually better than Outlook on Android) and I had the same issue. If it were that easy, I'd already be using a different email app.

I'm not drunk, I know this for sure. My LG G4 is also updated to 6.0 and now I also own a Huawei mate 8 and therefore I can tell the difference, it's huge. And about your nexus 6p I'm not sure, in any case I was talking about the updated phones.

My Moto X Pure is updated to 6.0 and has absolutely no delay with notifications, nor does my 6P, so there's a flaw in your logic.
This goes far beyond doze. This is something specific to the Huawei ROM and since previous Huawei phones (Mate 7, P8) had this exact issue on older versions of Android, it's pretty obvious that the problem lies with them and not doze.
Before I bricked my device I tested the hell out of this and found the issue.
Doze implementation is broken in the Mate 8.
The phone is supposed to wake up and check for notifications and it doesn't.
Turning off doze fixes all the issues on the Mate 8, at the cost of whatever benefit Doze would have offered.

It's certainly possible that it's broken for this device specifically. Fine, I'll bite. How do you disable doze with tasker? I thought I saw a tutorial on here before, but haven't been able to find it.

Run this command as root with Tasker.
dumpsys deviceidle disable
Or, even without root, use adb and run
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Losing doze would suck, but this device is unusable for me without timely notifications.

It worked for me to get notifications, but yes, I really wish Huawei would have fixed it.
Maybe in an upcoming version it will be fixed.
I am interesting to see if S7 will also have this problem.
Can you tell us non rooted people how to do this? I have dev options available but don't know how to do the rest.

If you are not rooted, you will need to plug into your computer and run the ADB command mentioned before EVERY TIME YOU BOOT UP THE DEVICE (sadly)
The command is:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
On my N5 the display keeps off when plugin / remove the charger (qi and ac).
Is there something similar possible for the S7?
I have root and xposed. I see something in "secure+" but it seems not to work.
No one bothered about this?
Tried an old xposed module. Wasn't working. Found an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.mudar.snoozy but it had the issue with the latest update about the smartlock killed and you had to put in the pin like after the reboot, no fingerprint unlock...
I bother! Just HATE this annoying feature.
I wished it could be removed too
I will have to investigate on how to install xposed too... (I still find it too risky for my S7)

Doesn't bother me at all. If I'm picking the phone up off the charger, I probably want to check what's happened while it was charging. Lighting the screen when starting charging doesn't really matter either way. It goes off in a few seconds.
Hi, wondering if anyone else has the same issue as me as in the custom notification sound is selected for individual contacts, but whatsapp keeps playing the default sound set in the phones settings for everyone and anything.
As far as I am aware I have selected all the necessary check boxes.
It does see all my notification sounds regardless of on sdcard or internal memory.
Custom notifications work fine on other apps like yahoo and Textra(sms/mms).
I've gone through all the settings but can't seems to get custom notifications to work on WhatsApp.
I have reinstalled WhatsApp but to no avail. This has been an issue ever since I have had the phone. Not just with the latest 151 update. Worked OK on mate 9. I get notifications as normal. No issues there.
Can anyone shed any light. Is this a WhatsApp issue or a phone issue?
Thanks in advance......

Good to hear.
I am coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9 and actually I am missing the notification LED!
Not sure whether it is a general issue of Android 10 on our device or based on a lack of knowlege on my end.
I think I set up everything propperly, but neither Horizont Light nor any 3rd party app is indicating anything.
I tried to solve this issue by reading some threads on XDA already -therefore I am quite convieneced that settings are ok- but still notification light is broken.
Maybe there is any Custom-ROM with a nice solution...
pls. advice!
THX!

Jep...fresh out of the box -not rooted or unlocked yet!- Android 10 got installed.
Sure , well aware that it is beta, therefore I am asking whether it is a general issue at present, fingers crossed, that it will be solved latest with the stable version.
I did a quick and dirty install of Android 10.0.2 over 9.5.13 -and- I go no Horizon Lights to the notification.
Cleared the data and cache of the Ambient Display and no change.
I miss the notification blick i had on my Pixel.
.
Does NotifyBuddy work ? - The OP has not been updated in 6 months, which leads to to think that it does not work on Android 10.
Does a Play Store app work ? I saw one on the store and then a user said it did not for OnePlus...

I could be wrong, but I thought the horizontal lights were only working for sms messages. I stand to be corrected on thay.
NotifyBuddy works but you lose the ability to activate Google assistant by saying "ok Google".

Did you fix this issue/find yourself a solution? I know it has been a while since you posted this but the Renovate Ice rom has settings for the ambient display horizontal lighting and you can change the colors as well has how many times it pulse's.
I'm looking for a solution as well. I'm stock rooted on 10.0.2, and I've yet to see that light come on. And if it does, since it only comes on briefly, I don't see it. I may have to try that Renovate Ice ROM to get multiple notifications.

ON 10.0.2 the horizontal notifications were not working for my either, but they worked with Renovate.
I installed pulse beat and put the right settings, i think, but it only pulses once and quickly.
What should the settings be, for those that got it to work?

I have it at 0.5x
I've been using this.

Seems like a pretty decent alternative. Lots of options.
Only thing I've noticed is some occasional wonkiness in unlocking. It's random so I can't pin down what is really going on. Doesn't seem to be much of a battery hit
I've downloaded Pentastic to try and sort it but it hasn't helped.
The first time I remove the Spen... nothing, but back in or out again and it works fine, and plays the selected sound.
Could there be a power saving setting switching it off when it's not been used?
I tested it on mine and it works fine. Are you using a custom sound?
Yes, light sabre (used it on many Notes now) but if I switch back to normal it's still the same problem.
Ok. I just did it on mine and it worked. Here are the two sound files I used (zipped up).
fx4.mp3 is the light saber on
fx5.mp3 is the light saber off.
Try them and see if they work. They worked for me. I put them in the ringtones folder on my phone.
Thanks for that but it's just the same as the others I have tried - the first pen removal no sound, after that works fine? If I switch the phone off it goes back to same issue on first removal!
just check, sound on removal is different to reinsertion, go to volume and adjust system volume to high (just to test), then remove spen while holding phone to ear, I then hear a (shlooop type sound) when I reinsert its a click type sound, maybe its that.
I have to restart the phone to test as after the first fail it works fine... odd!
Anyway, still no sound at all but then works fine after that first fail, unless I restart the phone
Bump... nobody got any thoughts on this? It's so annoying!
Any power saving thoughts I could try?

This may sound stupid, do you have Do Not Disturb turned on? l. It is possible that a third party app is interfering. My power settings are set to high performance. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce your problem.
I only have it on from 11.30pm until 8.00am but thanks for the thought.
How could I check the 3rd party App suggestion?

Any third party apps that have access or possible access to the speakers. It's a shot in the dark.
The last resort is a factory reset. I'm not sure it's worth the PIA though.

Yeah. It's sounding more and more like a factory reset is in order. :/
But as a wise man said, is it worth all that hassle?
Maybe. There may be other issues as well that you haven't encountered yet.
I guess if I knew 100% that it would fix it I would, but I'd hate to go through all the set up again for nothing
Yeah. I'm not envying you.
