Hey guys. I am new to XDA forum. First of all, greetings to all of you in the forum. I would like to ask whether anyone facing the same problem with me? I mean the notifications of messages,emails and all the default mobile apps are working for the notifications. But installed applications like Facebooks and Gaming Apps Notifications wouldnt show up and alert me although i have done activating notification in the Apps. Any solving?
did you check accessibility and see if anything needs to be turned on in there and welcome to xda.
These are my accesibility settings. I don't see anywhere about notifications.

Hi, I just switched completely from iOS to Android after I while I used an iPhone and a Nexus 7 together. Now I replaced the iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy S4.
I'm pretty happy, but there are a couple of things I still completely grasp about how Android notifications work.
My first issue is related to *blocking mode* and Whatsapp. I have the same issue reported in this discussion.
It seems that the app can bypass Android notification system and relies on something else. Is that true? How can that happen?
I have another concern related to the use of vibration when sound is turned on. It seems that the system-wide settings refers only to phone calls, while for other notifications I have to rely on app-specific settings. Am I correct?
Taking for example facebook app, what would happen if I disable vibration and put the phone in silent mode? Will it vibrate?
Finally, I'd like to have a iOS-like notification list on the lock screen. So far I managed to get it for some applications (Messages, Whatsapp), but I'd really like to have some system-wide properties.
Generally speaking, can you please give me a link to Android documentation explaining what aspects of notifications it manages system-wide and what is responsibility of each application?
I'd really like to see as much as possible managed by the operating system, but from what I am experiencing it seems that it is exactly the other way round with a lot of settings left to the applications.
Blocking mode is a Samsung feature AFAIK. Maybe WhatsApp is using the media channel for notifications instead of the notifications channel? Not sure.

Take a look at DashClock with one of the many extensions (e.g. AnyDash), NiLS Notifications Lock Screen, or any similar widget.
There's also Floating Notifications, which can show you (bubbles of) your notifications on your lockscreen.
Thanks for the links and for the hypothesis on Whatsapp notifications.
It seems that I have to choose either to have the pattern lock or to add multiple widgets. Am I right?
Is there any way to have both notifications and pattern lock?
I'm afraid pattern lock is again a Samsung specific feature so I'm a concerned about possible integration issues with other widgets.
What about the other question about system-wide vs per-app settings?

Samsung disabled widgets with the secure lockscreen for some reason. There's an Xposed module to re-enable it, but you need the Xposed framework (and root).
I'm not sure about the vibration question.
My device is still not-rooted and I am not very keen on rooting.
I did some research and I found Popup Notifier (Sorry but I still can't post links to external websites) that seems what I need.
I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it works.

Unfortunately it Popup Notifier is not what I was looking for. I'd like more to have an iOS-like list of notifications rather than popups.
It also felt a bit too hackish that I had to disable text to speech service and enable the app's accessibility service.
I have the feeling that they're misusing accessibility features as a workaround to access notification information.
I see that there are custom lockers. Is it possible to install them without rooting the device? If I install one of them would I be able to setup notifications as I like, add the pattern widget and leave the rest of the system as it is?

All applications need Accessibility to get the notifications' content, prior to Android 4.3, AFAIK. Or root.

You can install custom lockscreens without root, but you'll also need Accessibility.

Did 4.3 introduce new APIs to let applications access notifications?
Is there any new app that already uses them? I'd like to try them on my Nexus 7 and then use one also on my S4 once Samsung releases the updated version of the system.

Applications can now use notification listeners, which allow them to detect new notifications (and when they're cleared) from an app. I think Floating Notifications uses it if you're on 4.3, but it's not exactly what you want.
Yes,unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for. I'll keep checking. I hope new app relying on the new features will be published soon

I came across a few DashClock extensions which do that, although for specific apps. You might want to try a few and see if this is what you want.
Hangouts DashClock Extension
WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber and LINE (4 different extensions) by Tiger-Workshop
You'll need DashClock for these, of course.
Other than that, there's DynamicNotifications you might be interested in. Not quite what you're looking for, but it might do the trick for now.
DynamicNotifications seems very cool. I'll give it a try
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Just in case you don't read the portal, this DashClock extension does what you want by using the notification listener features, instead of Accessibility services.
Thanks for sharing the link! I'll give it a try. It is very promising

I tried to use it on my S4 but I cannot set the widget.
This time I can't even disable the lock as I reported in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472070

I've just downloaded Themer (Beta) on Galaxy S4 GT-19505 running android 4.3
I am currently using the theme "Blur" (see attached image; being a newbie I'm unable to post the image in-post)
I use the "Textra" SMS app as I prefer it over the stock messaging app, and whilst I receive notifications no worries in the stock notification bar, I don't receive any notification on the "Text" conversation bubble (the one in the middle); I receive notifications for gmail (the icon on the right), however, no worries.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll add it to our list, therefore it should be supported in the next 1 or 2 updates :good:
Has this been updated?
I have the same problem with the same messaging app as the OP. The unread messages number never shows anything other than zero

Not yet. It's still a huge task to implement, so we're going to work on it in the future, as right now we don't have the time or resources. Stay tuned though

Hi all, I've recently bought a Reno 10x in China and I've several issues with that color OS : ROM PCCM00_11_A 18_96c98aa7
1) no notification icons on the status bar ; I've tried everything , but it seems that in my ROM there isn't the sub menu "notification prompt mode"
also I've no numbers notification on the dot on the app icon.
Basically it impossible for me to see if I've have new message on WhatsApp for example, of course I've notification on the screen look menu , but since I use every day the fingerprint sensor I never see the screen look.
2) isn't possible to configure Google assistant and more over the phone is blocking the automatic voice match ( I've a ROM with BREENO as assistant) :-0
3) Whit Google maps is impossible tho share my location with my friends (color is apparently is blocking )
4) problems with exchange:
I had no app for mail by default so Installed Gmail : ok it's work , but calendar and tasks from exchange are not showing!! So it's impossible for me to work!
No way , it's a mess ....
Could someone help me ? Do I need to install a "real" global ROOM?
How can I do?
Many thanks !
I've got the same problem with the notifications. Someone a solution?
The background notification problem can easily be fixed.

Global Rom/ India Rom also has athena apk and no problem with that apk and notifications so i think problem is with something else in china Rom.
Can we flash global/indian rom?

For the application, you must also give all permissions, autorun and notification settings. It starts to work not immediately, it was about 5-10 minutes for me, but after all the notifications come right away.
Did all of this, but still no icons on statusbar.

Hi, can you tell me more how to do the tweak on Oppo Reno so to get icon notifications on status bar? Like explain every step as I am quite "green" with that stuff... Thanks
At this point there is no way to get notifications on the status bar. I have the same problem and am trying to return the phone because I already wasted too much time trying to fix this along with all the other problems:
tl;dr; DO NOT buy the Chinese rom version!
- Notifications are all disabled by default. You have to enable them individually for every single app, and most apps have multiple notification types that each need to be separately enabled.
- The process for enabling notification for an app includes changing notification settings, power settings, startup settings, and locking the app in recents, for every single app.
- Only 5 apps can be enabled to receive notifications (startup options).
- Can't change the default SMS app, it will revert back when you receive a message.
- Can't change the default launcher without removing the coloros launcher through adb.
- Swipe gesture will not work if you do remove the default launcher.
- Nova launcher badge permission gets reset so you no longer see notifications.
- There is no way to flash the global rom.
How do people actually use this phone?
Hi, I see... For me besides the lack of icons on status bar the phone seems good as I don't plan to change launcher or rom. ( I know bit boring, but I've faced the same issue with Vivo)
But guys have have you heard of Xiaomi Mi 9 global version has the same problem with status bar icons and they came up with an app that's available on Play Store: Notch Test. And it worked well. I tested it myself. Can we do it with Oppo??? I mean can someone do such app for Oppo Reno?

This is common issue for phone selling in China.
If want China brand phone, must get global edition instead of China edition. This apply to Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. I not sure on Huawei, maybe also same.
Yes avoid oppo Chinese version
Awful app restriction
Does the global version work as normal with notifications?
Thinking about buying 5g version.

Quite Simple. Install Adb... Then write
Adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.athena
And boom all the notifications will start working. App won't be killed in the background.

Yesterday I installed MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta ROM on my India K20 Pro phone. Below are my observations and feedback.
I was on MIUI 10 10.3.5 India ROM.
Installed Beta MIUI 11 by wiping Data, System, Cache. It is smooth overall and I find display better(it may be due to new font, don't know)
Observations:
1. Fonts are really good.
2. System Launcher is bit off. Swiping up opens up their own Media Center thing. (May be due to one of the launcher layout I selected while initial setup). Installed Poco Launcher, but it blacks out sometimes when going Home from an app. However it fixes once you perform recent app gesture and then back.
3. Downloaded 0.5 MB Google related chinese file from GetApps which install Google Services. Installed, but later while installing other Google stuff from inside that downloaded app, Google Framework failed to install.
4. Downloaded Google Play Store from GetApps. The installed all the apps.
5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.
6. Speaker sound is now better. It was very loud and uncomfortable earlier, but now it is much better.
7. Lockscreen notifications can now be expanded to read the content(which was not possible earlier)
8. System Wide Dark mode doesn't work all the times for non System apps.
9. Ambient Display has so many new options.
10. Samsung Routine like Tasks where you can schedule different system settings. Like lower down brightness to 0% between a time frame, etc.
11. Double tap to sleep doesn't work. Although double tap to wake works.
Overall it can be used as daily driver and I am loving it...
Great Explanation. Seems like a good build for a beta.
Can you do 1 thing for me?
I always wondered what are the new options for NEW Notifications when screen locked. Does it lit only the notification content like in pure andoird, or some other useless animations?
Can you post some screenshots of those options and feedback?
Thanks!
You can disable there media search when swiping up in the settings , I had the same issues as you with not all the Google frame work service not installing mainly contact sync , but overall miui 11 not to bad.
Hello, I'm on xiaomi.eu 10.4.6 and when i try to install the 9.9.24 miui 11 get an error zip treble could not fetch or install. I've whipped everything and tried 3 times but with the same result. I have rafael. Any advice?

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while
Did u manage to get the ambient display notification working (the fancy glowing animation)? Coz i didn't even after enabling it.
Another thing issue is with app like WhatsApp being killed in background even after setting it as no restriction on battery saving and autostart app. U end up not getting any notification at all unless u open the app itself.

While on Ambient Display, icon appears below the clock with notification sound.(not sure if you are expecting more than this).
Whatsapp notifications are ok for me...Battery Saver set to MIUI Battery Saver...May be I am not using much apps or the apps which are consuming more battery in the background. That way Battery Saver doesn't come into picture I guess.
Seems like Working great.But ther was a problem with Gcam and Other applications like viper4andriod were not working properly in 10.4.8 which is based on Q . Can you do me a favour can u check whether those apps are working properly and give me a reply
The icon appear as usual for the ambient display. MIUI 11 suppose to add animation feature for ambient display upon new incoming notifications to rectify the issue of K20 Pro design having hidden led notification on the top of the phone. This is the one that im referring to as not working
Ive attached pic of the animation which i meant
thanks man for review and testing....one question, how about 75hz screen refresh rate mod? thanks bro
can I use it as a daily driver?
