[Q] Notifications problem (N4 / N7) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So problem is I am not getting notifications on my Android devices for a lot of apps, I seem to get notifications for Email and Calendar and SMS but that's about it, nothing for / Facebook / Skype ect.
I seem to get notifications on Hangouts now for SMS but not for a standard Hangouts message.
At first I thought it may be because I had the webpage for that app open on my PC, so shut down the pages, still no notifications?
Getting quite annoying now as its the same on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (Both run 4.3).
A factory reset has been suggested and whilst it may fix things I would rather get to the bottom of the issue first so I know for future reference, also the N7 is pretty new and both lost notifications pretty much at the same time so perhaps a factory reset wont do anything.
Ad both devices had the same issue at the same time I wonder if its something on my account thats b0rked in some way?
Any thoughts?

Notifications dissapearing after reading on another device

So I have SGS III and got myself thinking: I have my GMail set up to synch new mails consantly and, when found new, notify me and blink the LED. While the feature is great, I often read my mails on other devices as well. That's where the problem occurs: even if I read a mail on another device, the LED keeps blinking which is quite annoying as I know that most likely no new mails are there and I just have to make the senseless effort of unlocking mmy device and clearing the current notifications from the bar. I'd love if this could be done automatically so that when I read a mail elsewhere, my phone treats ot just like any other mail and clears the notifications linked to it. Can I do it somehow?
EDIT: Ekhm... You just have to wait a little bit longer and it disappears on its own

Sms Notification help!!

Hi all,
A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.
First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?
Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
Unfortunately for you, everything you listed works fine on my DNA. It displays a notification on the icon, when you send a message it shows a pending thing in the messaging app till its sent, it previews the text messages on the lockscreen so you may read them and you can open directly to it.
If none of that works for you, try clearing your app data or even resetting your phone.

The HTC messaging app doesn't have the check marks or the bubble skin, thats just something that you will have to deal with until we get a custom ROM that has those options. For the notification issues, go for a full reset, return it and get a new one (cause something is obviously wrong), or install a good custom rom like Venom or UKB.
As for your issue with iCal not syncing, I used "SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar", it's not free ($1.99 I think) but it worked great for me. Just be sure to link your iCal with your iClould.
I use gosms and have no issues. I uninstall the stock messaging app though. Even before when I couldn't delete it. Never had any issues. I'd do a factory reset then mess with the setting in the messaging apps

[Q] Not receiving Hangouts notifications nor calls

Hey guys, about two weeks ago I was wondering why my mom hadn't called (we use Hangouts) and I thought it was weird. It was only until she called my cell phone that I realized that Hangouts wasn't working at all (even though it was open in the background).
I always used to get the call sound and the notification tray flashed saying that I was getting a video call. Same thing for messages (not SMS), even if I hadn't opened Hangouts all day at all, I would still receive SMS and video call invites. I accidentally Greenified Google Voice (since you can't Greenify Hangouts) and I thought that might be the culprit, so I degreenified it, and restarted my phone. That didn't work. I also Disabled a whole bunch of useless apks (or so I thought) with NoBloat and I'm pretty sure it was around this time that Hangouts stopped working and incidentally also any alarm app that I tried to use (I have to use stock alarm now). I re-enabled all of the disabled apks, and restarted my phone once again. This also did not work.
I have also posted on the official Google Hangouts Help forum about this issue, but I'm pretty sure they're just going to tell me that Hangouts just suddenly **** itself because I'm not on 4.4 and probably because I'm rooted. I have gone back on any changes I made that might have caused this issue. Google Voice is not greenified anymore, and I don't have ANY apks disabled at all. I even turned ChatOn back on thinking that maybe that was why.
Here is a list of things that I have already done that I have found on other forums:
Clear cache of Hangouts and Google Voice
Make sure Show Notifications is checked (it is).
I have uninstalled Hangouts updates, and reinstalled them.
I have restarted my phone numerous times.
I've shut off my laptop, tablets, and desktop so it would HAVE to go through my phone. It didn't.
"Whitelisted" Google Voice and Hangouts on any application that could possibly be closing it.
I have a SG S3 SGH-T999 T-Mobile (Unlocked) with baseband version T999UVUENC2. I don't remember how exactly I rooted my phone but I just know it's rooted. I'm on 4.3 and I have been for ages. It kind of feels like, even if I physically open Hangouts it's hard for any application to recognize that's it's running in the background, and in fact, some applications don't recognize it at all even if I just opened the application.
I don't know what's wrong, does anyone have a similar problem?
Wrong forum this is for the i9300 only, but you've broken your firmware by disabling system components. Reflash your firmware then factory reset, don't use any guides or files from this forum.

I Broke Notifications?

I'm using the BNTV450/Nook Tablet 7" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-7), but I would imagine that this would apply to all Nook devices (such as the Samsung Galaxy Nooks).
About a week ago, I followed the instructions in this article to uninstall some Nook bloatware for the current user. This is what it looks like over ADB shell:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 [package name]
Anyway, I was able to remove [com.bn.nook.audio] and [com.nook.app.wwreader], but not [com.nook.app], for whatever reason.
I didn't backup the apk files, because I figured I wouldn't need them. But a few days later I noticed that notifications were broken. Notifications haven't been entirely reliable. Sometimes they're delayed, and sometimes they don't come through. But for the past several days I haven't seen certain notifications (that I used to get all the time) at all. The notification system isn't entirely broken, though - Tasker and Twilight still have there ever-constant-permanent notifications. Instagram still pushes notifications.
I somehow got Hangouts to work, by like force stopping the app multiple times and turning off and on notifications or something. But Gmail won't show any notifications, even after force stopping, turning off/on notifications, and disabling/enabling the app. Sometimes if you open the app and refresh it it'll show notifications. But push notifications aren't working like they should. Maps doesn't show those traffic reports in the notification tray.
That led me to think that it might have an issue with just Google apps. Recently I force stopped Google Services Framework because I thought it might resolve WiFi issues. (WiFi would randomly disconnect and then fail to authenticate or connect, but I know that the Internet works when that doesn't happen. Also, that didn't fix the problem anyway.) But that wouldn't make sense because Hangouts notifications were still working (most of the time, anyway), and other notifications like Duolingo's daily reminders were not coming through.
That leads me to believe that it was the ADB. That wouldn't really make sense either, because Nook apps shouldn't affect the rest of the apps. But tbh, I don't know what com.nook.app.wwreader is. Does anyone know what it does or how to fix it? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset, if at all possible.

Gmail/Hangouts/Groupme/etc failing to receive push notifications

Hi all,
I'm running a custom rom on a Huawei H1611 Ascent XT with only addition modification being Magisk V12 (I've tried posting this question in it's thread, but so far no luck https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ascend-xt-nexusxt-b160-t3597766 ). The rom replaced lots of stock apps with google apps so maybe something is going on there.
Basically, gmail, hangouts, and groupme all fail to notify me of a new email or message, especially when the phone is off. As a test, if someone sends me a hangout message, I won't receive it until I open the hangouts app.
I've gone through all the notification settings, the battery optimization settings (ensure gmail, play services, hangouts all set to no battery optimize), and can't find ANYTHING to cause this issue. Also done multiple wipes and reflashes.
I feel like one time I read about a blocked wakelock causing an issue similar to this but I can't recall it. Does anyone know what could cause an issue like this and how can I figure out what is going on? Driving my crazy...
thanks!
