If you have multiple devices, you'll get the same notifications on all of them, if your setup is the same.
For example, if you receive an email, the notification will come through on all devices. Now if you act on the notification on one device, such as opening the email or deleting it, the notification disappears on the other devices, if they are online at that time.
Here is the problem:
If your other device (s) is offline, you'll still receive these notifications the moment that device turns online, even though you may have already acted on that notification on another device earlier.
The notifications sync only on devices that are online at the time you act on them. But if any device is offline, it will recieve these notifications later when it turns online. This becomes a headache if you connect a device (you don't use often) online after a few days. Because a very large number of old notifications (that have already been acted on) begin to bombard you each time.
Is there a way to force the notification sync in a way that a notification that has already been acted on in one device, stops showing up on other devices that come online later?
Look for an app that runs in the cloud. I believe that in that case, the notification will appear only once, because opening the interface to the application from the cloud does not launch another instance of the program.

I'm not sure if you understood the problem mentioned in the OP correctly.
What can I do for apps like Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, YouTube, News apps, etc.
For now, I have simply turned OFF notifications on my other devices for most apps so I don't get bombarded with old notifications in each device.
I'm not sure if this is something that Google Play Services can fix, because that is the common service running on all Android phones.

Hi, Forum,
Huawei y625 u51, android 442 here. Rooted.
My problem is with the networking user apps. All of them, besides chrome and play store, are unable to connect to the internet, having my phone connected.
So basically i have chrome connected perfectly, i read news, i read mail, whatever i want and it is all fine. Sadly, when i run skype, viber, or other user netapp, they sign me in, but do not send data and specifically give message "no connection", when there actually is one.
After i reinstall the app, it works fine. On the next day, it is all repeated - i connect and use chrome to surf, but when run skype or viber - it is to stubborn to connect i guess :d Thus i have to literally reinstall several webapps every morning after i wake up. This is a torture and irritates me heavily.
It has all begun, when i deactivated some google apps, that i dont use, in order to hide their icons from the menus. Right from the next day the above mentioned has started. I have them activated all back, but i guess the damage was already done and no solution but reinstall returns my ability to use whatsapp, viber and ect.
Any cure?
Greetings.
Ps: I have to admit, that i have pretty unfortunate experience up to now with android and i firmly believe to use it for a no further device i buy, if no major improvements are held. I feel like in a coop with it - restrictions, restrictions, restrictions.
Heya,
So I'm using Whatsapp Web and every time I get a message, it instantly lights up my phone screen. This happens also if the chat is active, meaning I don't get a notification (of course not) but the screen lights up anyway. The phone is too fast to notice the notification, while my old S8 used to ignore notifications if I was on Whatsapp Web.
Any tricks to this? It uses a lot of battery for the screen to keep blinking on
It doesn't seem to happen to me. I'm using the same wifi for my phone and my laptop. My phone only beeps if I don't check the message on my web whatsapp on the laptop. Note that I only use the browser version not the macos whatsapp app.

I would have to agree with the previous comment, Im not finding an issue with the app giving me notification have you tried to uninstall it, or just reset the cache/data on the device. The only thing i know that can make it play up in the way you're talking about is if you have sideloaded GMS?
my issue is very different, while I'm connected to whatsapp web (phone and pc on the same network), after a while whastsapp web shows "phone not connected to the internet" and notifications doesn't show on the phone. After I open whatsapp on the phone, I recieve all the messages that weren't arriving.
When I connect to my cellular data on the phone and over wifi on the pc, there's no issues.
It seems that reinstall plus disabling "wake" helped. Now if I'm active on a chat, phone doesn't react, if I'm not, phone vibrates. Just as it's meant to be.
I have the "no connection" problem too. If you find a solution, please do tell
Dear XDA Forum!
first: yes i used the search function although i couldn't find a thread which addresses my issue in general, also i tried a few of the fixes regarding the notifications although it didn't solve my problem.
Phone: Doogee S88 Plus
OS: Android 10
I received this phone a while back and i'm pretty happy about it, although i noticed a very strange behaviour regarding nearly all apps.
Apperantly, every app that isn't a foreground app, will get killed or at least will not send notifications until they are opened which, you sure can think, is damn annoying.
Also, apps won't start with Android Auto, except Google Apps like News, calendar, maps and such. Spotify, Audible and every "external" apps will refuse to start on android auto until i open them manually on the phone, then they will show up on my car as well.
i checked the installed software and noticed a preinstalled energy saving app (which is funny with an 10Ah battery but well ) called com.cydroid.softmanager
Thinking this could be an issue i uninstalled/deactivated the app via ADB, although it didn't get better in any form.
And yes, of course i checked the battery optimization which is turned off for the usual apps which send notifications like Signal, Threema, Outlook, Authenticator and such
As i use Signal as my SMS/MMS app, i can say that i will not receive SMS/MMS notifications as well, i will receive them if i use the standard SMS app Messages though.
Also notifications in general are activated.
Maybe it has something to do with Doze? I'm currently at my wit's end.
I already thought about rooting the device, although it doesnt seems like that there is any rom out there for it, it has the option for OEM Bootloader unlock in the dev options though, but to be honest it's been a long while since i rooted android devices except from Samsung.
Hopefully you guys can help me!
Kind regards
**edit**
also i think it has to do with the background apps in general since foreground apps like my VPN (Cyberghost) will keep running without issues
also i noticed if i restart the phone all the apps will start correctly in the background, so it seems, since i'll get the notifications immediately
Very recently, I keep seeing a G symbol in the notifications, when I catch it in time and pull down the notification draw, it says Google contacts is syncing 3 contacts, except it keeps repeating this notification every 5-10 minutes, I haven't added any new contacts at all yet it keeps popping up with this, I have tried disabling and enabling the Google contacts sync with the Google account but this problem continues, it's almost as if the contact wasn't successful and so it tries again a few minutes later, except when I check my contacts on the website, everything is up to date?
Disable it.
Backup contacts through the Samsung app as a file and store redundantly on hdds with other critical phone data.

you can simply disable the notification for that. go to apps and find google play services. under notification section find contacts category and disable it.
Hi everyone
i'm using two android phones which are compatible with google passkeys. I have problem with my new phone, because i don't see notifications from passkeys to authorize my login request.
Basically my older phone is fine, no matter when i log in to any website which supports webauth/passkeys, i always receive notification, i'm scanning my fingerprint and it's working great omegle xender .
I also have newer phone which i purchased like 5 months ago and there i have problem. Both phones are listed on google passkeys website and both are registered as keys to various websites. Unfortunately when i decide to authorize myself on page through new phone i don't receive any notification on my screen. The only option i have to click "Use a different Phone or tablet", scan again code and then it'll work.
After this another scan, it'll work for few minutes? i receive normally all notifications, but after like 20 minutes it break again. I've checked and notifications are enabled for google chrome.
Any ideas on how to fix that?
