[Q] Whatsapp Notifications not showing even when not greenified - Greenify

I am going to post a separate thread because I think I am having a different problem than what the other user is trying to accomplish. I am NOT getting push notifications even when whatsapp is not greenified.
In my first install of greenify, all experimental options are ticked and I tried greenifying whatsapp, wechat, and qq but I was not getting any notifications from these. So, I de-greenified them but I still was not getting the push notifications unless I was actively in the app.
I have since then tried uninstalling and reinstalling (without having greenify touch those 3 applications) but I still do not get push notifications UNLESS I enter the application. The only way I can get push notifications back is if I uninstall greenify completely. What is preventing greenify from letting me access my push notifications?

I had the same problem ! You should buy donation package (if you use KK and you're rooted).
Nevermind go to settings>accessibility>service : unselect greenify.
Untick Greenify in Settings>Security>Device Administrators.
And also in settings> Sound & Notification> in notification panel >access to notification : unselect greenify.
No just have to reboot and it will work.

I do have the paid version of Greenify.
Tried what you said .... Still same problem. I deleted Greenify and I'm trying it right now and so far all messages are getting through. This is sad and I don't know what to do - without getting push messages I can't use this app:crying::crying:

Go into settings>applications search for com.whatsapp
See if the box show notification if ticked !
If don't tick it test if it works !
If it's still not working we're going to the rude way :
1) Go into settings>applications search for com.whatsapp erase data and cache then force quit and uninstall app.
2) Check in root explorer for example that in /data/app the file com.whatsapp is not there, if you find it erase it (need root).
3) Check /extsdcard/Android the file com.whatsapp is not there if you find it erase it.
4) Go into settings>applications search for com.oasisfeng.greenify erase data and cache DO NOT UNINSTALL.
5) Go into settings>application search for com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro erase data cache force quit and uninstall.
6) redo step 2 and 3 for com.oasisfend.greenify.pro DO NOT ERASE com.oasisfeng.greenify !!
7) In Greenify app, in about tap uninstall.
8) Go in Xposed installer > Framework > Install/update update framework and reboot.
9) Go in Xposed installer > Modules : check that there is no Greenify package if one is present uninstall and reboot.
10) Go in Google Play install Greenify and donation package, activate boost mode, activate all options you need but you have to tick keep notification. (I tick all options personnally).
11) Go in Xposed > Modules > Greenify > activate module check that it's the last update if dont update and reboot.
12) Go Google Play install Whatsapp.
13) Activate on Greenify all the apps you want to hibernate even Whatsapp it will work now.
Tell us if it's working but now it should.
Next time each time you update Greenify go in Xposed : update Framework and Greenify module to nevers again have that issue.

I just want to add - I just saw a notification from WECHAT pop up, and it got HIGHJACKED by greenify and then disappeared - the only reason I even saw it was because the notification got pushed through to my pushbullet on Chrome. WTF man? Does that mean I have to repeat the procedure for wechat, qq, and line?
Further testing shows that pushbullet (which I ONLY greenified the first time I installed it), does not get push notifications sometimes when pushing from chrome to phone - same thing. Only get the update when I open the application manually.
EDIT:
after testing ... I still missed Whatsapp notification which only appeared after I opened the app. For reference the message was sent to me 15 minutes before I opened and recieved it based on timestamp. At a loss .
EDIT2: Testing a tasker task where if screen off i FORCE whatsapp to wake up ... that's the only solution I can think of short of just completely factory reset my phone. Will report back
EDIT3: Even with this configuration, I'm still getting delayed push messages from whatsapp?!?!?!?

com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro = greenify donation package !

You did the "rude way" but it didn't work at all ?
It's weird, wich ROM do you use ?
Wich Apps do you use ? I see Tasker did you make a "program" or running one to clear RAM, manage data, wifi and so on to avoid battery drain ?
For Edit 1 : hum It's making me mad
For Edit 2 : Ingenious but not optimum your going to drain a lot of battery
For Edit 3 : Yes I think your algorithm under is to wake whatsapp every 2 minutes ; even with that you will have delayed message (around 2-3 minutes)
At this time yes, I think you should do a factory reset restart everything from the beginning

Stock Rom, only rooted. I will probably factory reset this weekend when I have more time ....
I do not use anything else - I use to use amplify but in lieu of whats happening I uninstalled it also. Tasker is running nothing but turning on and off sync to try to save more battery. Nothing else that affects how applications react. Thanks for your help... I will try to do factory reset - but now I think I probably shouldn't even restore from backup because of all of this :S
Even with this tasker task, I think the delay is longer than 5 minutes. I'll continue to monitor for now, tonight. Out of ideas of what to do.

Well, seems to be a good idea to factory reset !
Restoring a backup is crap in my opinion for saving some time you better use ZIPme app, save your apps but no data

Don't do factory reset
Seems like it's a problem in 2.5.x version of Greenify !

I did a factory reset yesterday and after a little bit of testing it seem like the problem went away. After a couple hours, I installed greenify again and everything seemed like it was going well I did not greenify any of Google play Service apps and did not even touch whatsapp, but now it seems like I am getting delayed messages again. Granted, I did not test whataspp notifications for very long before installing greenify again, but messages were rolling through like normal. With greenify installed, I have to click into whatsapp to see any updated messages which - is it possible that greenify screws up my google push notification systems?

Is this something that can't be fixed with a factory reset? What's the alternative? Flash a new rom? Currently its stock rom argh.

So an interesting development of event happened today:
I rebooted my phone and I got this message from Pushbullet
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm glad that Pushbullet at least notifies me that it's not being able to function properly in the background unlike most of the other applications. Now it seems GCM is getting blocked somehow. Now I have two hypothesis for this
1) Greenify screwed up Google play services somehow and it's making all of my GCM either delayed or unable to get through
2) I live in China, so if GCM requires any sort of connection through google's servers, that might cause problems/delays.
I'm more leaning towards number 1, as these problems started happening only after I installed and played around with greenify. However, at the same time, the message disappeared after I hopped on VPN so it's uncertain and driving me crazy.

Try to use VPN or proxy server. But I do think that it's Greenify who's screwing up.

Okay, so I left my phone on with VPN all night, and in the morning I had no messages from what'sapp until I entered the application, so that theory is out the window. I sent the DEV a PM I hope he reads it.
Another thing I tried from a reddit thread is cleared the cache of all Google related services. So far that doesn't work either
Edit 2: and upon further investigation, with VPN ON and, while inside the whatsapp app, and having the screen off(it dims) will lead me to get delayed/no messages until the screen turns back on. This leads me to believe that it must be greenified? I'm not running any other app controlling apps
