I am looking for an Android setting or a 3rd party app to delay notifications from appearing for only certain apps. For example, I don't want to see any notifications from Facebook or Whatsapp while I am at work. I do want other notifications to come through like normal; I just want Facebook or whatsapp notifications to be held and only appear later when I am no longer at work.
Ideally this would be done automatically based on time, GPS location, or both. Alternatively, "notification delay mode" could be toggled manually, for example, by pressing a widget.
Is this possible?
I tried using the sleep mode widget in Light Flow, checking "exclude from sleep mode" for apps whose notifications I want to see, and leaving the box unchecked for Facebook and WhatsApp. Notifications for all apps continued to come through even with sleep mode enabled, so that didn't work.

Hi,
I believe that a recent android update has made it so when your phone is in vibrate mode, all apps will have their notifications vibrate even if you uncheck the box within a specific app. Is there any way I can disable specific apps from vibrating during their notifications when my phone itself is in vibrate mode? Thanks
I have been playing with the do not disturb mode and i'm disappointed that there is no way to turn off notifications for email apps like Gmail.
Other than 3rd party apps, is there a way to prevent gmail notifications from coming in when DND is turned on? If not what apps do you guys for this purpose which is simple and light and does not run in the background when not used?
Thanks
Hey Pepz,
I got an Pixel 2 XL with Android Pie on it and I want to reset all my apps notification settings. So what I ultimately want to do is change every apps settings to the same thing basically.
Show notifications: "ON"
Behaviour: "Make sound and pop up on screen"
On lock screen: "Show all notification content"
Sound: "Default notification sound"
Vibrate: "ON"
Blink light: "ON"
and so on...
There doesn't seem to be a way to default every app to have my desired settings (so a global change of the notification default), or is there? Does anyone know an app that can do this?
My goal is to have every app, system apps included, to do the same thing and afterwards change just some single apps to do something else.
So in short: Ignore the default a developer choose for me and override the whole notification settings everywhere to my taste.
(Otherwise I got to change 200+ apps manually and apps like Facebook, Snapchat or Tinder tend to have alot of subcategories so that would take days really )
I am running stock Android 7.1.1 on a Moto Z Play.
Recently I noticed that popup dialogs from apps running in the background or also in the foreground don't show automatically any more.
So, e.g. I have the apps Reminder with Alarm and Automate. "Reminder with Alarm" has an option to show reminders as full-screen alarms with sound and Automate allows me to create widgets that, when pressed, should show a popup with a selection. Both apps have the "Draw over other apps" permission enabled. What happens instead of the popups being shown is that I only get a notification and when I press that notification the popup is shown.
I tried reinstalling these apps and also all other apps that reasonably could influence that behaviour. How can I further debug what is prohibiting those popups being shown?
Hello,
I have been the owner of the Realme GT 5G phone for 2 weeks - it has Andoird 11 (v RMX2202_11_A.11) with realme UI 2.0. I spent hours trying to configure a few things, but I failed. As I didn't get the desired results, I decided to try to find help on the forum.
So, starting from the beginning:
1. I have a problem with the Facebook Messenger app, because when I work in vibration mode, notifications coming from the app are only signaled with a very short and delicate vibration. This vibration lasts for about 1 millisecond, which I can barely feel when I'm holding phone in my hand and expecting the notification. I checked vibration for notifications from other applications and they work properly.
a) I have all notification settings turned on in the Messenger app.
b) In settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> vibration intensity -> the sliders for the vibration with the ring and the vibration with the notification I have set to maximum
c) Battery settings for Messenger app are "optimization off"
When I have ring mode on, the Messenger notifications are properly signaled with a sound.
So what is wrong with vibration pattern for this app? Why the notifications are not properly signaled? What can I do to get normal vibration notification?
2. I have 2 games in "Game space app", version of the app is 4.5.27_6d29cc7_210603.
a) When I'm using app #1 - the Messenger chat bubbles are on top of the app, so I can see them for the entire time <- and that's what I would like to achieve.
b) When I'm using app #2 - the Messenger chat bubbles are hiding under the app #2, so I have to show the navigation bar (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), to see chat bubbles on the screen.
In settings for Messenger I have set "Display over other apps" as on.
Which setting is responsible for this feature?
3. Another problem with notifications from some apps (inter alia: Gmail, and game #1).
I'm using original Always On Display mode.
The problem is that some notifications don't come when the phone is locked and Always On Display is working.
Notifications from text messages, calls, facebook messenger or game #2 arrive normal, at the time of their receipt.
But from Gmail or game #1 notifications only arrive when I press the power button and wake up the screen. So when the screen is locked, there are no chances to get notification from those apps. This is silly because notifications are there to notify you of an event when you are not using your phone. But in this case, they only notify when the phone is in use.
a) Battery settings for these apps are "optimization off", "allow auto startup", "allow background activity".
b) In notification settings these apps have all settings on. They can notify everywhere and everytime but that doesn't solve the problem.
What else can I do, to receive these notifications on time?
Thank you for your help
