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 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 previously had a Galaxy S3. With the Facebook app, I would receive notifications just fine.
With my Nexus 5, some notifications come through, but some don't. For example, last night a friend posted something on my timeline and I got a notification about that instantly. Later on, I posted something on my timeline via my PC and then left the site. A few hours later I went back to Facebook and 3 people had commented on my post, but I hadn't received any notifications on my phone about it. I've checked the settings and I have all notifications turned on for Facebook.
Anyone else having issues like this? Notifications do work on the phone, but I've never had an issue like this before, where sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't.
I've just received my Nexus 5 earlier today and, coming from my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I'm really loving it so far. However, I've noticed that, at random, my Nexus 5 will vibrate and the screen will wake, sometimes once, sometimes twice in a row. There are no notifications following the vibration and screen wake, and no real indication at all as to why this may be happening.
At first, it started with Hangouts vibrating and waking the screen four to five times after each new text message I would receive, until I finally unlocked the phone and opened the Hangouts app. I would get an SMS text, the phone would vibrate and the screen would wake. Then, just after the screen would go back off on its own, the device would vibrate and the screen would wake again. This was a recurring issue today, so I had assumed it was just a bug with the Hangouts app (which did not at all surprise me).
However, for the past several hours, I have not received any text messages or Hangouts messages at all, yet at random times my phone will vibrate and the screen will wake with no notifications or other indications as to why. Sometimes it will happen once, followed by a second occurrence of this behavior about a minute later. Other times, it will happen twice in succession. I was wondering if maybe it was Google Now, but I had disabled vibration on notifications for Google Now. I also considered Gmail, but notifications are turned off entirely for my Gmail app.
I'm at a loss here, and I'd really appreciate any insight into this issue. For those wondering if it might have something to do with the battery overheating and the system trying to notify me about it, the battery has been keeping below or around 80 degrees Fahrenheit for the vast majority of the day, so I doubt this is the case, though I'm open to any and all possibilities.
Other helpful information:
My Nexus 5 is running stock Android KitKat 4.4.2, purchased new directly from the Google Play store online.
Hey,
I am receiving notifications for text messages, however, the watch will not vibrate along with the notification no matter how I change the settings. The watch vibrates for all other types of notifications. I am using a LG G3 phone and the Gear S3 Classic Bluetooth version. Is anyone else encountering an similar issue?
To troubleshoot I have:
1) Double checked the notification settings in the gear app.
2) Ensured the notification settings are on in the watch
3) Made sure notifications and vibration are on in the phone.
Thanks,

Workaround
To anyone who is experiencing the same problem I found a workaround this afternoon. I switched to Google Hangouts and received notifications with vibrations. Unfortunately, I was not able to reply from the Gear. I then switched to the Google Messenger App, which received notifications with vibrations and I am able to reply from the watch. There must be a compatibility issue between the LG messaging app and the Gear. I will try to update the feed if I notice a fix.

Hello,
I've the same issue as you, with a Gear S3 and a LG V20. All notifications trigger vibration except SMS...
The point is that I don't understand your workaround.

Hey, basically I worked around it by downloading a third party messaging app and making that my primary messaging app on the phone. In my case I like the Google messenger app because I can respond on my watch and the notifications come through with vibration.
Good luck!
Kurt
This same issue plagues the default messaging app on the S7 Edge as well. Ironic seeing as it is the same company making the phone and the watch, both are its flagship products, and the integration with the native Samsung messenger app is supposed to actually provide more functionality. Also, it worked with the Gear S2.
Another Samsung QC fail.
Same issue...
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch
Samsung Galaxy S7 phone
Samsung Touchwiz launcher

No vibration with notifications. Very frustrating and disappointing.
I'm having the same problem with my Pixel 2. Has anyone tried doing a factory reset on their watch?

I have a pixel xl 2 and same issue with Android Messages. The vibration worked fine, then all of a sudden stopped about a week ago. I HAVE done a factory reset, doesn't help. When I did, I uninstalled all the gear apps from my phone, then unpaired the watch, factory reset, installed the apps in order, setup as new. Still not working. I have checked everything. All the gear apps, notification settings on the phone and watch, it just. doesn't. work... This is BS... I'm getting REAL sick of Sammy messing this watch up...
I haven't tried a different messaging app. I definitely prefer AM, soooo, I'm not so sure about installing anything else.

Glad I asked before I blew it up. I'm a fan of Android messages too. And I like the way the Gear S3 update has been as far as the work out modes and layout. But I'm not a fan of how they fix one thing and break two more. I've had this thing for over a year now and although it's been fun, I think I'll be looking elsewhere for a replacement when the time comes.

I've had mine for 7 months. It's been in the shop for repair twice and still having the same issue that I sent it in for. But, they won't replace it because since it was in the shop twice within 30 days, it counts as once... Seriously. So, I have to send it in again first. The weather app is broke, and now messaging doesn't vibrate or popup on my watch like it's set to. Yes, I WILL be looking at other smartwatches once some new ones are released (hoping MWC). The problems between the watch and their BS support just aren't worth it. Not for a $350 watch.
I can confirm that both Verizon messages and signal notifications and vibration work on my watch. I switched back just to see if AM would work after, no dice. So, apparently it's just Android messages and Samsung messenger that do not work (so far)? This really needs to be fixed. I miss my AM widget and app. Signal is cool, but doesn't work with my car. Verizon is not bad either, but it has some caveats as well.
So I have a pixel 2 xl was experiencing the same issue.... Watch all of sudden wouldn't vibrate for text. Factory reset watch numerous times... Still no dice. Figured I would try to uninstall the latest update to Android messages and sure enough that fixed it. So try that and see if it works.

I did try that, didn't work for me. I just got an update for it two days ago too. This problem is almost two weeks old. Thanks though. I AM trying it again just to make sure.
Verizon messages stopped working this evening too... What in the actual eff is going on???
Well, I'll be. I tried uninstalling the latest AM update and now it works again! I bet I uninstalled them updated again right away the first time. That makes 2 Google apps that I can't update until they fix problems... Thanks greenlantern5!
Soooo, there is a new update as of yesterday for Android Messages Has anyone taken it to see if it fixes the vibration problem?
I have the same issue. YAATA text messaging vibrates on the watch, but I can't reply from those notifications. Since everything else alerts properly on the watch, it is probably android messaging. I wonder if we could find an old version and see if functionality is restored. I'll post here if I find something.
Edit : I uninstalled android messenger, downloaded and installed android messenger version 2.7.028 from apkmirror.com and back in business. I have nexus 6P which is 64 bit, so downloaded that version... so if you try to install an older version, make sure it is the right one for your phone. Of course I had to turn automatic updates in Play store too.
I am having the same issue. I have used Verizon messages, Pulse, Android Messages and none of those will alert me on my watch. The messages appear on the watch, but it doesn't notify me. The only one that is working for alerting is Textra. I also have the Ring app installed and it doesn't alert me via vibe or sound, even though I see the alerts on the screen. Other apps work just fine, such as pushover and Google calendar. My phone is a Pixel and running the latest OS update.

Uninstall updates for android messages, then go to apk mirror and install android messages version 2.8.040. That is the latest version that works. (I'm on a pixel 2 xl)
I noticed that the Gear Plugin updated recently and now my notifications are working again, even on Android Messages. Has anyone else seen a recovery?

Can confirm. Awesome
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
