Facebook push notifications for i9003?

Why isnt there no push notifications for facebook? Anybody having this problem?
Ive KPH, and ive read that the Facebook for Android app have push notifications. I cant configure that on mi i9003.
Thanks

Make sure under settings "accounts & sync" facebook sync is turned on. And i recommend using friendcaster for android instead. the original facebook app is a buggy POS

There are also a couple of apps that only deal with notifications: I personally use MB Notifications for Facebook because it has more features, and don't need all the other stuff FriendCaster has

I used Friendcaster but it was drinking my battery, and it doesnt have push notifications. Im testing MB Notifications right now, with the Facebook for Android app.
I loved Friendcaster, but it has issues with messages (they didnt show), and for some actions it open the browser instead.
The problem I have with MB Notifications is that I didnt check the "event notifications" and it shows them anyway.
Push notifications are the ones that the server is who call the client right? so the phone doesnt need to be checking for notifications with some periods of time? So push notifications saves battery?
Thanks

Facebook for Android supports push notifications, but there's no way to enable them from its settings. The only way to enable them is to use a BlackBerry (I know, it's stupid). When you enable push notifications from a BlackBerry, then they will be enabled on Android too.
Fortunately if you don't have a BlackBerry you can download a simulator (Windows only, you can download it from blackberry.com/developers/downloads/simulators [sorry, I can't post link]) and login in to Facebook from the simulator using Facebook app which is already installed.
Then go in Facebook app settings (on your Android phone, I think it's better to logout and then re-login before doing this) and choose as update interval "never".
From now on you'll receive instant notifications on your Android phone.

[Q] No Gmail notification on lockscreen (5.1.1)

After updating to 5.1 .1 (manual update) I cannot find a way to turn on lockscreen notification for Gmail (= in notification center Gmail does not show up in the application list).
Quite annoying, as I used to getting Gmail notifications under 4.4 (with NiLS widget).
- turning on built in 'email' notification is not a solution to me (I don't want to use the Huawei mail app, but want to stay with Gmail)
- unistalling (actually not possible; rather disabling and re-enabling) the Gmail app does not help
- downloading, installing Inbox solves the issue, as I can get Gmail lockscreen notifications from Inbox -but as I use Gmail for my business account, the completely random, chaotic design of Inbox does not suit my life..
- and please, don't advice the standard 'do a factory reset' ; it does not solve the issue.
Any further ideas, suggestions on this issue, please? I really do miss Gmail notifications on my lockscreen.

Hi, got same issue with my new Honor 7. No gmail notifications on LockScreen, gmail and many other pre-installed google apps aren't in Huawei Notification Center. It seems i can't remove google pre-installed apps (I tried, only delete updates)... Any ideas?

If you're rooted remove the Gmail app with SD Maid or similar, then reinstall from Play Store and it should appear on the list. I tested this successfully on B327.

Same here with the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I can't uninstall the google apps... So, no notification on LockScreen, too.

It's just amazing how Huawei f***s up basic Android features again and again with each new firmware. So glad I switched phones ...

any news or other solution forma phone not rooted?

I got a Y6 and first of all, the "Notification Manager" shows an "Lockscreen Notification" for most app except for G-Mail of course ... which is just unacceptable but the fun thing is ... none of the installed and (directly) available Lockscreen Themes even support Notifications.
Huawei seems to feature no Quality assurance team whatsoever ... this will be my first and last Huawei phone. They can't even get the most essential and basic things right.

Miui delayed notifications bug

How about the delayed notifications issue that affects other Xiaomi devices (such as the Redmi Note 3)? Does it affect the the Mi4c too?
Thanks.

It can be easily solved by going to:
Settings -> Additional settings -> Battery & performance -> Manage app battery usage -> OFF
This way MIUI won't control apps in background and notifications will show up real time.
It does consume a bit more battery but it worths.

I had the same problem for whatsapp on my Mi4C. The battery restriction change didn't solve it for me. I did all the other changes I could find, eg. Autostart whatsapp, lock whatsapp from recent app removal, still lengthy delay until I start whatsapp again. The last thing I've done was autostart google services framework, then reboot device, seems to be working.

On Mi4c I had a problem with the Mail app and a Gmail account. After 2 weeks of search, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. It was obviously more buggy on Wifi.
I ended by installing Cloud Magic and no problem since that.
I didn't try again to see if it's OK now. I didn't try again.

So we can say the Mi4c is affected, like every Miui device probably.

Yeah, I think I've read that google services is the key.

How do you make the google services framework in autostart? external app?

MIUI comes with a Security app. Go in there and click Permissions and you will see Autostart. Autostart both Google Services Framework and Whatsapp or other messaging apps you use.

I have only Google Play serveices for Instant Apps here. Is it the same?

Gmail Notifications

Hello, im loving my OP7 Pro so far - sadly i got one issue. I don't receive Notifs from Gmail... i enabled them all (the app does not appear in battery optimization so i cannot disable that). i got no issues with other apps. Im running out of idea.. i found a topic about the 6 and 5T but didnt deliver and sultion... anyone got the same problem?
i only see the mails if i actually open gmail.

I had the same issue with Gmail, I'm a Google apps user so have a service agreement with them, they managed to fix it at their end.
If your issue is the same as mine then you're Gmail notifications will not work on other phones too.
If they do work on other phones then you're issue is different to the one I had.
I hope this may help.

hello, thanks for your quick reply,
they worked fine on my huawei mate 20 x before.
so i guess the error is on a secret / hidden setting i cannot find

It's the deep sleep Android goes to. It's not showing in the battery optimization bc GMAIL is a system app.
Fix 1, Uninstall system GMAIL app with Titanium backup "root required" and install from the app store. It will show up in battery optimization then add to no optimize.
Fix 2, run "dumpsys deviceidle disable" w/o quotes in Terminal Emulator under SU "Root required" or add in into script and have execute at boot.
Fix 1 and 2 both worked for me before.

I installed magisk module, OxygenOS Gmail Battery Fix. It works for me so far.

It also doesn't work if I keep Gmail open and just turn the screen off.
So I basically need to root it to get notifications? Seems rather unintended no?

You'll need root to turn off Android doze or uninstall Gmail as a system app and reinstall as user app. That's the nature of the beast.

You can do it without root as well: Using Nova Launcher (or another launcher which can create activity shortcuts), long press on homescreen, click on widget and create an activity for: Settings -> Battery optimization (.Settings$HighPowerApplicationsActivity), open it, set to "all Apps" with the dropdown menu and it will show all Apps including system Apps. Then choose "not optimized" for Gmail

That's another issue then if it doesn't notify you if you send an email shortly after turning off the screen. Do you get notifications when the screen is on?

I found a great substitute for Gmail. Try Edison Email on the Play store. Notifications work great, and app is very customizable.

I tried it and i like it... yet same problem as gmail.. mails only show when i open the app.. and i excluded edison already from battery optimization... i really dont know what i am doing wrong

I have exactly the same issue...

Same here. With activty launcher from Nova i can change Gmail to ''dont optimize''. But it will reset after restart...

Go to Settings / Accounts / Google / Account sync
Disable and reenable sync for Gmail.
This fixes it for me every time. Issue typically comes back after some Gmail updates (not after all updates).

nope doesnt work either

Trust me when I say this won't work, it took Google 2 weeks and lots of bug reports for them to find the issue assuming it's the same as mine.
Please confirm you still receive notifications on a different phone.
If not like I had, Google technical support had to fix something there end.

Having the same issue on my S10+ .. I receive some notifications on one Gmail account - but it's hit/miss on the rest.

I installed Outlook and it works flawlessly, receiving a notification even couple of seconds before my computer. I used it for Gmail accounts and also for Exchange account.

Question GMS Notifications

Hello,
Does anyone know how to fix the delayed google services notifications? I have tried everything but they still came late, I have a google pixel and they came on time compared to my Fold 2 this happens when the device is locked but when I unlock it the notifications start popping out.
I have tried all these settings:
Disabled Battery->Settings->Scenarios->Sleep mode
Enabled Apps->Gmail->Autostart and Changed Battery saver mode to unrestricted
Enabled all notifications for the App in question
Rooted my devices and disabled Doze with the Doze off app
ran adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Nothing has worked for me , any other idea what I could do?
Thanks

I don't know what GMS notifications are but I was going insane not getting gmail notifications when my phone screen was off as well, go back and look at my posts in this forum about it.
the app DozeOff fixed it for me from the Fdroid store. If you are rooted that should fix it. I think a combo of that app plus using the systemizer magisk module and making apps I was having problems with notifications system apps fixed it, dozeoff alone may fix it if you want to try that first.

GMS = Google Mobile Services, I have the dozeoff app installed but that alone didn't fix the issue, I'll try systemizing the apps.
Thanks!!

GMS is a framework, not an app. There are two basic frameworks on Android devices - GMS (Google Mobile Services) and HMS (Huawei Mobile Services). These frameworks must be installed on your device for apps from those respective infrastructures to work. GMS is backed into the firmware on Xiaomi CN ROMS, but it is not turned on by default. Search "Google" in your settings and you find "Google Basic Services". Turn it on. After that step, if you are not receiving instant notifications for particular Google apps, such as Gmail, you may want to use a different app. Email notifications using the Gmail app are notoriously slow on this device, as are Google email accounts accessed using the Outlook email app. The workaround for delayed Gmail notifications is to use an app called Edison Mail. Gmail accounts set up in Edison Mail get instant notifications. What other Google apps are you experiencing delayed notifications on?

Thank you for the clarification. The "Google Basic Services" has been enabled all the time and the issue persists, I also have notification issues with the Google Home app they are not arriving on time(I have Nest Security cameras) of course that app also uses the GMS framework for push notifications.
Thanks

Have you put your phone in developer mode and disabled optimizations?

Where to find this optimizations menu?

Go to main Settings on your Xiaomi device. Scroll down to find About Device/Phone and tap on it. Locate MIUI Version and tap several times on it. After that, you will get a message "You're now a developer!" on your device screen. Go back into Settings and you will now see Developer Options. Scroll down to the bottom of those options and toggle off Miui Optimizations.
