The problem is notifications aren't showing up unless I open the messaging app then the notification in the status bar comes up. What is the problem? I went in settings to make sure the notification box was checked and everything. How do I fix this? The only way the notifications show up is if I restart the phone.
Oh and also it doesn't vibrate either even tho my phones on vibrate
Played around with it and found out all I had to do was force stop the messaging app. Now it works perfect.
Can someone explain how on earth the notification sidebar works?
It always says no notifications on there. I see the weather, a little checkbox and the word no notifications
I have few missed notifications checked such as caller name ID, email, fitbit, gmail, hangouts, google inbox, instagram, google messenger (texting), phone, snapchat and whatsapp.
Whenever I get something from these nothing ever shows up on there. I do see them scroll on the main sidebar when it scrolls.
Any help gents? I just don't get it.

Try to restart the phone... I had the same issue a couple of times and, after restarting, the bar came back to work properly. It should be an annoying bug
Could be you already seen or cleared your notifications panel.

A restart fixed it. Guess it froze...
Same thing with CNN. it locks up... I took it off, but a restart would fix it I bet.
I thought I would just post this here, it's both my question with my answer as a work around that I found...
My question/ Problem is that my Hangouts Notifications weren't always coming through. Hangouts (and Gmail) is not displayed as an application in my "Notification Center" (in EMUI 4.1). ((I was also trying to turn off the banner display, which I find incredibly annoying. )) It's like it doesn't exist on my phone. Too bad it's a system app, so I can't uninstall and reinstall it. I tried rolling it back and updating it to get it to show up, but no luck. Because it wasn't showing up, I couldn't change it to be a priority notification. (I had already set it to protected in the battery manager with no luck.). My question is: How do I get it to show up in the notification center so I can adjust it?
My work around is to change the notification through the "Apps". I toggled it to be a "Priority Display" and I was able to turn off the banners. Hopefully that takes care of the missing notifications. I'm sure it will take care of the annoying banner.
Has anyone else experienced applications missing from the notification center? For beta testers, is this fixed in the EMUI 5?
My notifications work perfectly fine for Hangouts and Gmail. Like you said, I have the applications setup as being protected. And yes, Hangouts and Gmail may not show up in the notification center, but if you go to Settings>Apps>Hangouts>Notifications, it gives you the option there, including setting as priority. Try that and see if it works for you.
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.
Anybody else on MIUI 10 8.9.7 beta having issues with notifications? Text message and 3rd party email work fine but Hangouts and Google Voice *will not* come through. It's as though they're just totally blocked. I've tried all the typical stuff...disable battery optimization, enable autostart, lock the app in memory, make sure all notification options are selected...turn off Miui Optimization...everything. I absolutely cannot get these notifications to show in any way.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Yep, the same happening to me with Allo.

Same issue on 8.9.11 Global with hangouts and Google messages.
Still persistent on 8.9.13.
Still persistent on 8.9.20. Any known solutions? This is incredibly annoying because I'm on the beta but my bootloader is locked and I have to wait another few weeks to unlock so it's not like I can even go back to stable Oreo yet.
*edit* version number typo correction
This is happening to me with unofficial Telegram clients. As long as I have official Telegram installed notifications work in all clients, but if I just have Plus Messenger or Mobogram notifications doesn't work.
This bug still remains in latest build (8.10.11). in miui per/app notifications option, notifications are activated by default, BUT yoo can see a few options below each app notification page switch: Sound, vibration, show on lockscreen, show headup....
By default, I seem to remember only vibration option is activated, so here (and on each conversation you got a notification in the case of telegram) you have to activate all options you want: sound, show on lockscreen....
After a while, all this activated options will be resetted by the system (we dont know why) and will switch back to its defaults >> "only vibrate and dont show on lock screen" combination.
I'm on a same boat, guys. Extremely annoying.
Updated to latest beta 8.10.11 and many apps do not have notifications. I tried everything like mentioned above, even reinstalling apps - notifications are not coming.
Very frustrating for Android Messages for example. Have to check several times if I have some messages, it's like a postbox outside of the house - go and check for yourself.
From what I hear it's still persistent in the global beta 10.0.3.0 which is based on Pie.
same for me. I m on global stable 10.0.3.notifications don't work proprely and also picture in picture don't work(tested on youtube and maps).

Running MIUI 10.0.3.0 Global and having the same issue. I've discovered that with Hangouts, in particular, there is a workaround. I sent myself a message and left it unopened. Now whenever I receive a message from another conversation, I get a full slew of notifications including lock screen notification and sound that says "2 new messages", listing both the message I sent to myself and the new message from the other conversation.
Hope this helps someone in the meantime while we wait for a fix...
I was finally able to unlock my bootloader and go to Global 10.0.2.0 (android 8.0) via XiaoMiFlash and my notifications for hangouts and android messages are back to normal. I got the notification to upgrade to Global Pie (same version number 10.0.2.0 for some bizarre reason but a different suffix) but I've heard numerous reports on xda that notifications are still not working properly on that build.
I'm on stable 10.0.3.0 with android 9 and have the problem too. Mainly with whatsapp. I don't receive any notification at all
The issue does not persist only in MIUI ROMs. In fact, this bug is affecting any software systems installed on top of MIUI ROM base, including GSI builds etc.
The most common problem affected by this bug would be 3rd party message applications failing to display incoming message notifications. And I think it has to be something to do with the system failing to present network push notifications to the app level (I am not a dev so this is with my furthest extent of knowledge to describe the situation). How do I know? I have tried the following experiment:
On stock MIUI10 Global Beta, I have both stock MIUI Messages and Android Messages, with the later set as default messaging app. Notifications never showed up when there were new incoming messages (not even logged in Notification Logger) yet when I click into the app I can see the unread messages.
At this moment, I am on Pixel 3 GSI build with full hardware functionity and with ONLY Android Messages as messaging app, and when I asked someone to text me a message, NEITHER did the notification nor the message show up in the app, yet the LED notification kept on pulsing until I switched the SIM Card into another phone, received the unread message and read it, then the LED pulsing disappears. This means the unread messages in 3rd party apps on MIUI ROM are appearing just because they are in sync with the stock MIUI messaging app. In any other cases without the stock MIUI messaging app (which heavily relies on system frameworks to function), the phone could indeed receive messages yet NEVER could bring it to the app UI & notification level.
I'm wondering if anyone could identify and deduce what is the exact cause of the issue after having read my observations, any help will be greatly appreciated with sincere gratitude.
Looks like this issue *may* have been resolved in Pie beta build 8.10.25. I seem to be getting notifications now for Hangouts at least.
My Threema notification works again, too on 8.10.25. But not on lockscreen.
For me the google notification issue was solved after upgrading to Stable V10.0.4.0-PDGMIFH
This was fixed for me. I'm on the newest beta - has anyone else found that they are unable to set custom app specific notification sounds anymore? I've gone through settings and through the app themselves and the option is missing.
This kept happening to me with Hangouts so I ended up moving to a non-MIUI ROM. Not sure what the issue was, but there was nothing I could do to get notifications to work.
