Will I get notifications if using greenify in root only mode? - Greenify

Hey, im using greenify on Android MM with xposed framework. I do get notified when receiving a message thanks to gcm feature (I think) that works with xposed only.
Wanted to know in case I'll use greenify with root only, will I get notifications from apps (such as whatsapp, Facebook etc) immediately or only when I'll enter the app?
I ask this since Im thinking about upgrading to Android n and since there isn't xposed framework yet I won't be able to use the xposed features of greenify.

You could test this yourself on your current phone by disabling Xposed Greenify module.

Greenify not keeping notifications on LP 5.1 with xposed

I am just wondering if anyone else is having problems with notifications disappearing upon hibernation with xposed 5.1. I have everything set right in experimental settings, I've been using this so for years so I know how to set it properly☺. Just wondering if I am the only one because I am about to loose my mind!! I've tried everything, installing uninstalling downgrading upgrading, I've spent hours on it, just thought I'd ask before giving up. Running in boost mode with donation package. Thanks

Try the Xposed version of the GB Dev available in the super alpha Xposed thread. Also use beta 3 of Greenify with that. This combination is reported to be working.
Another alternative is to disable deep hibernation in Greenify.

I am guessing he's using that version of Xposed. But yeah this problem is there.

Yes I have tried every possible combo, litterally spent hours on it. I am just wondering if it is my problem only or are other people having this problem? I would love to know!

Hi guys. I'm on the same boat.
CM12.1, Greenify 2.6.2b5, xposed super alpha and no notifications kept after auto-hibernate for whatsapp, hangouts and skype.
I've only installed xposed again, and greenify module etc, and notifications only affect Facebook, but just noticed by just noticed that they're snoozing too.
I have the same issue, notifications come in, but then they disappear. I have all the required options checked, using alpha 4 xposed + b5 greenify.
Yes, i have this too. All notifications are gone after re-greenify.

I may have accidentally found a solution. deleted beta 5(back up in titanium backup first) , reboot, reinstalled beta 4, reboot, restore beta 5. seems to be working for me now. not quite sure why.

Did you activate the xposed module after b4 installation? When you restored b5 using TiBu, did you choose app, data or app+data? For me, your solution doesn't work.

yes activated after b4 installation. after that i just restored app+data for b5. alternatively try to enable notification access for greenify as well. might have been a step i missed but its still working for me.

weird... i do though. see attached picture. i'm on 5.1.1 slimpop
Beta 6 is up, it doesn't address this issue. I tried reinstalling from scratch, greenify appeared in notification access, but as soon as I activated "Keep notifications" (root non-limited one) under greenify, it disappeared from the notification access. @davtse can you please post a screenshot of your greenify settings?
L.E.: I've pretty much figured it out after reinstalling greenify multiple times and trying with different settings. This is what happens:
- Activating the xposed module makes the "Keep notifications (Limited)" disappear from Greenify options, so I went on and activated it before activating the xposed module and restarting the phone. Also make sure to activate Greenify under notification access option in phone settings.
- Even if "Keep notifications (Limited)" doesn't show anymore, if you managed to activate it before activating the xposed module, it will be kept active.
- If you activate "Keep notifications" (the non-limited one), it will cancel the Limited one, and it won't work, and it also makes Greenify disappear from the notification access menu.
These are my findings.
The good part is that I made it work this way, but the notification light goes away when the app is hibernated with a pending notification. At least, the notification stays.

Glad to know that i am not alone in this I'll try your method and let you know. I don't know if there are many users in our case but in case @oasisfeng you decide to investigate on it please let us know if we can help with some kind of log or anything else. (keeping notifications after hibernation is a major feature i think)
PS : Irrelevant to the problem, but could somebody tell me difference between the root and beast mode in greenify ? (did some research on it but did not see a clear answer)
Edit : Unfortunately that did not go well at 100%, i mean that for example when i got a messenger message, the app can not go to hibernation but for facebook's notifications (e.g. friend request) after hibernation the notification goes away ... Keeping notifications is one of the best features in Greenify IMO so being broken make me :crying:

Are you sure you did exactly this?
- after installing latest version of Greenify, DO NOT REBOOT, go to settings and activate only "Do not remove notifications (Limited)".
- activate "Greenify" in Notification access from phone settings
- activate the xposed module and reboot the phone
- activate "GCM push for greenified apps".

Actually, i did reboot before activating the xposed module
Just to clarify :
- In the third step, i just activate the xposed module (so i shouldn't activate any greenify feature ?) and reboot the phone ?
- In the fourth step, i activate "GCM push for greenified apps" only or among the other features ?
- Do you recommand Deep Hibernation or should i leave it off for now ?
- Concerning greenify mode, what would be more efficient in our case Boost or Root ?
Thanks again and sorry for being a pain in the arse :laugh: :laugh:
I will try again regarding your next answer and let you know how it went
Yes, you only have to activate the module. No, you can activate other features, for example, I have Deep Hibernation enabled (even though it causes some issues with accounts, and making some apps ask to re-login everytime you use them). So, I don't really recommend Deep Hibernation as it is right now, wait for more updates with fixes for it. Instead, you can check Greenify regularly to cut-off wake paths, which gets you close to having deep hibernation enabled.
Boost is the best tehnically, but I am on Root mode (personal choice).

Try one more time without activating other modules, just go by my steps only. If it still doesn't work, try same method with beta 5.

I did try it with beta 3 and it worked but the notification icon is not the original one after hibernating the original app (and its the same custom icon for every app that has a pending notification and goes into hibernation).
I will try it with the beta 5. I hope that op is aware of it
Are we the only ones with this issue :crying:

Not Auto-hibernating on rooted LP5.0.2 (.28SG)

It's actually working when it comes to manually hibernating the apps but it won't automatically hibernate apps when on sleep no matter how long it was. Any workaround for this or is there something that I've missed? It was working fine when I was still on my rooted KK.
My phone is Xperia z3 Compact (D5833).

I also sometimes have this but only with system apps. Third party apps have no issue.
From observing the SuperSU logs, I find that Greenify fired and closed the apps but when you open Greenify, they will be shown as running the whole time. May be it is an issue with how they are reported when you open Greenify.
I am running Greenify in Boost mode with official Xposed and donation pack on 5.0.1 in a Nexus 4.

Well in my case, I opened Clash of clans, closed it, then put my phone to sleep for 30mins. I did not remove it from the running services tab/ nor did I hibernate it. I went back to see if it was hibernated automatically but it wasn't and I also checked SuperSU, it did not show anything with regards to greenify.

Error - Failed to put "Pushbullet" into hibernation

I am using Greenify standard version (non-donation) with experimental features ticked on my rooted Xperia ZR 4.4.4. KitKat Sony stock ROM running Android phone with Xposed installed and Greenify module enabled.
Wakelock Detector shows Pushbullet (com.pushbullet.android) as the number one offender with x391 (2 m 47 s).
On trying to put Pushbullet into hibernation it always fails with the above error (Failed to put "Pushbullet" into hibernation) which appears as a pop-up toast.
I do NOT need Pushbullet to be running all the time because my use for that application is only once in a while.
What am I missing here?
NOTE : I have also seen similar behaviour while trying to hibernate KDE Connect which I eventually uninstalled.

Is Pushbullet running as a System app? Or may be it requires the donation version of Greenify.
No. It is a user app as far as I know.
I have only done a standard install.
I remembered that I have an app called Disable Service installed. Turns out Pushbullet has more than 50 services registered out of which Notification Mirroring Service was active. On disabling that, I am able to successfully hibernate Pushbullet.
It is a small loss, but may be good in the end.

Shallow hibernation on 6.0 final?

Hi, I just rooted my N6 with SuperSU 2.50, and reinstalled Greenify in root mode. I'm running 6.0 final. Is shallow hibernation supposed to be working right out of the box? I don't see an option for it, but my greenified apps (tested Viber, Telegram, FB Messenger) don't wake up with GCM notifications. I'm running everything stock except for the modified boot.img for SuperSU 2.50 and root of course.
Yes, shallow hibernation replaces the traditional hibernation on Android 6.0. Since the 3rd-party apps need to support the priority GCM message (introduced by Google for Android 6.0) in their app to make important push (like IM messages) get through. Please contact the developer of those apps to confirm the support of priority GCM message in their apps.

Hi, sorry forgot to ask. I assumed that it needed root, but does it actually need root?

Greenify and GCM Push notification on MM

@oasisfeng
I searched a bit and I kept finding conflicting info regarding the interaction between greenify and GCM-Push notifications on Android Marshmallow without xposed. From here the developer states that " GCM push should work for all hibernated apps once their developer adopt the new GCM priority policy required by Android 6.0. No more Xposed framework needed for GCM push!", however all over the google+ community and here at xda it is said that that option works only with xposed installed in fact it can't be enable without having xposed. Therefor is it implemented in the app inherently? or is it still a "project"?
I want only a clarification on this matter to better understand if i have to greenify the social apps or not (I need their notification even if not received ASAP).
You raise a good point. I'd like to know this as well. I had to disable GCM function because of constant random reboots. So far, since disabling, I've not had a reboot but time will tell.
