Gmail/Hangouts/Groupme/etc failing to receive push notifications - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Google talk - contacts seem offline?

Hi guys!
I'm running stock KH3 (with Chainfire kernel) and for some reason my Google Talk keeps showing all my contacts are offline.
When I log out and back on, they are online again.
Anyone have a solution?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
BUMP! I am having the same issue:
I am running villianrom 3.0 on my S2. baseband I9100XXKG3, kernel 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5....
Google talk keeps saying that I am offline (when in a chat to a person) and that all my contacts are offline (when looking at main contact list screen). Signing in and out resolves it but it is irritating as I do not receive messages or notifications when it happens and I haven't got talk open...
Has anyone else managed to fix this? I'm not sure it is villianrom related or something else, sorry.
It seems the problem is present on multiple devices, so it's likely to be related to Google Talk itself. In order to maximize the efforts to find a solution it's better if we focus on one topic only. The following one seems to have the greater number of replies so far:

[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.

Missing SMS issue affecting Android 4.4.4

Problem:
Occasional text messages are not "received". Just as a rough number, I'd say over 90% of SMS sent to me, I get. But I have been able to narrow down the problem with the missing ones.
I only noticed the issue because while at home or when I have headphones in, I have tasker set up to announce the name of the sender of a new SMS to me. Once in a while, it would say the name, but I wouldn't get a new text notification sound nor would I get a new message in any messaging app.
Phone info:
Nexus5
Android 4.4.4 rooted
Stock rom, kernel, etc.
Carrier is T-Mobile
Messaging apps used (not at the same time) are Hangouts, Smitten SMS, Google Messenger
Useful information:
1. This is NOT an iMessage issue. Missing messages have come from both android and apple phones. The last time this happened was today from a S5.
2. This is NOT a carrier issue. The message is received by the OS.
3. This is NOT an app issue. The message is not picked up by stock messaging app or any others.
4. This is NOT a formatting/encoding issue. I have people resend the message (copy/paste) and the resend always goes through and is shown in the messaging app.
5. This is NOT a group messaging issue. These are one on one conversations.
6. The missing message does NOT show up in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db.
7. If I set up Tasker to log all incoming SMS, it IS able to log the missing message AS IT IS RECEIVED BY THE OS.
My theory:
Tasker can catch these missing messages, but the mmssms.db won't see them. So that tells me that somewhere between the phone getting the message and the phone logging it to the mmssms.db to be read by messaging apps, there is a failure. I do not know Android well enough to precisely say where this failure is happening. Because Tasker isn't logging them as they hit the DB but prior to that.
If someone more knowledgeable with how the android os handles SMS wants to chime in here, that would be great.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Any additional ideas here?
I am experiencing the same issue and searching to find a solution.
Android 4.4.4
Motorola Moto G
Cricket is my carrier
Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!

[Q] - How can I fix Lollipop notification bug

Ever since lollipop came out my phone no longer gives me instant notifications. Often times I will receive them an hour after I should have. Generally, the notifications that are lagging are emails from gmail app and messages from the meetup app among others. After the 5.0 update came out I've read numerous posts online about this issue and that turning off wifi connection will make the notifications push through just fine. That worked for awhile, but with the recent update to 23c(i think) not even that works.
I rooted my phone in hopes to fine a kitkat rom to use, as it was lollipop that effectively ruined the use of my phone. Though I've also noticed that some of the lollipop roms (skydragon) claim to fix the issue by disabling IPv6, yet skydragon somehow disabled push notifications all together. So my question is, how do I fix this notification issue. Is there an app/script i can install to fix it? Or is there a good rom I can use that will work? Thanks.
This may not be strictly related to Lollipop. On May 29, I received the following eMail from Google:
Starting on June 27th, 2015, SMS notifications from Google Calendar will no longer be sent. SMS notifications launched before smartphones were available. Now, in a world with smartphones and notifications, you can get richer, more reliable experience on your mobile device, even offline.
To receive notifications on your smartphone, either configure the calendar app that came with your device or install Google Calendar for Android or iPhone. For more information on how to configure notification defaults, check out the Help Center.

This bug was fixed with the 24b update. And yes @DeanGibson it is related to the 23c lollipop update.

No push notifications

Ok... I'm desperate. I hope someone can fix my issue. I don't receive ANY push notifications from certain messaging/texting apps... Like for instance: Hangouts. Also, I've just installed discord (voice and messaging app) , and nothing. Which confused me even more because it's only ever just been a hangouts/google problem. They only work if I open the app.. Then it just appears as normal, but what's the point of that? I've noticed this only happens for chat apps. Also that doesn't work: AndChat (irc app)
I'm assuming this only applies to messaging/texting apps becsuse every other app works fine.
So I finally started trying to figure this out because it's really bugging me, so I download the app push notification tester (which failed) as well as a app named PNF... Which relayed this information: received: com.google.android.talk CANCELLED / discord.com CANCELLED when I've had someone send me a message on any of these apps.
Also of note: I've tried many texting apps and practically none worked except for kik and steam which I did receive push notifications for properly.
Anyway... I'm lost and I hope someone can help me with this issue. Otherwise, my device works perfectly.
I'm running rooted fire hd 6 dev preview 5.1 and all correct versions of apps like Google play services and any others as far as I know.
Thanks and pleeease help
P. S. I just noticed chrome beta is saying CANCELLED as well for whatever reason.
