Local notifications not working - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Maybe it's because many of applications haven't been adopted for Oreo yet, but I've tested a lot of apps - most of them fail to send local notifications. Maybe it has something to do with Mate 10 specifically. I don't have other Oreo devices unfortunately.
So, the story began from Tick-tick task manager. It works smooth on my Note 4, but I'm unable to make it work properly on Mate 10. I've set "ignore battery optimization" option for it, let it run in background and auto-launch, enabled priority notifications for it, blocked it in recent apps (the lock button), but with no luck - reminders just don't work. Then I tried a number of other task-managing apps (wunderlist, and others). Only one them worked (don't remember which one, really tested a lot). Found an app called "fake notifications" just to test the local notifications, set notification timeout for one minute, blocked the screen - no luck. Notifications only appear, if the apps are not closed after creating the notification.
Push notifications work properly (messengers, etc.). Looks like it has something to do with the local notifications specifically.

Maybe, I sound a little unemotional... so... I need my task manager working!

Very interesting. You're right. I have same issues.
Wondering if it's an Oreo problem in fact...

It looks like all of the problems with notifications not popping/widgets not updating etc are just caused by aggresive optimisation in EMUI 8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-huaweis-background-task-freezer-t3728298
So for, as I can see, there's no rootless solution.

Just got the phone, need some help with notifcaiton sound issue

So I am still in the process of setting up my phone when I ran into this issue (at least for me it is) The only thing I want an actual notification sound for is my text messages..I have notifications setup for Twitter, Instagram and FB Messenger but I just want those notifications to appear in the bar silently. I can't seem to figure out how to stop the notification sound from happening for these notifications too. In the notification sound area in settings there is no option for silent. I get way too many social media notifications for there to be a sound every time.
Android OS issue / feature.
Now in the new OS, you have to Annoyingly go into each application, and set which application you allow it to alert (notification).
then usually in the same menu choose if silent or sound or vibrate

The in app settings are all set right, there should be no sound based off how I have those set. When I go to application manager notifications settings are as follow "Block"( Show no notifications from this app regardless of the notifications settings in the app) "silent"(Dont sound vibrate or appear on the screen regardless of the notification settings in the app) and "priority (let these notifications interrupt when do not disturb is set to priority only)
All of these dont seem to be what I want because it will also block the bar notification if I am understanding correctly.
it might be a bug with how the LG V30 is handling it.
I have the HTC U11 (planning to get the V30 as well) and it works properly as expected in the U11.
Maybe somebody else that already has a V30 on hand can confirm.
I'm waiting for the Carrier Unlocked version of the V30

I am testing out the silent option that I posted, it sounds like it would block everything but maybe I am just misunderstanding it.
The silent option I posted seems to have worked, I just misunderstood what it does. Thanks for the replies.

Notifications.....wtf!

So I have just sold my OnePlus 5T to get the mate 20 pro and I cannot believe how bad the software is on this phone - it is so difficult to get your head around.
All I want is for my notifications to wake the screen upon receipt and to notify the banner when the phone is awake - FYI a £1000 cannot do this.
I have just had my OnePlus alongside the Mate 20 and every notification from the OnePlus came through - they simply do not on the Mate 20.
Gmail - Lock screen notifications are intermittent, banner notifiactions simply do not come through.
Sky News - Nope
Whatsapp - Nope
Twitter - Intermittent
Strangely enough, some of my sports apps (Futbol 24 & Sofascore) work absolutely fine.
Am I missing something or does a £1000 phone not do notifications very well?
Don't get me started on Nova launcher ............
Shocking!
So firstly ensure you're using the magazine unlock or default theme as I know there are issues using themes and notifications on the lockscreen.
Secondly head over to settings----notifications---more notifications and you'll see the option to wake the device.
Also ensure under battery the apps listed are not managed automatically.
Hope that helps!

For my sanity are you not experiencing any issues with notification? It just seems very strange that small development apps come through fine but the likes of Gmail and Whatsapp do not.

Please try the following methods:
1)Make sure the SIM card is inserted. Setttings---Battery---- Click the gear button on the upper right corner--- switch on “Stay connected when device sleeps”.
2) Settings---Notifications----More notification settings---turn off "Smart notifications"
go to security settings and switch to no content, and then switch it back, whatsapp shows now the content on my locksceen

Always On Edge - Edge Lighting App

So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

Try the system apps checkbox. The UI isn't the greatest and it took me a while to get mine sorted out, but seems to work really well one configured.

System apps checkbox in the AOE? Didn't see this option. If on the individual app, I've set all notifications to on
I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Found that. Thank you.
Which option do you choose for the following;
*allow this app to run without restriction or
*allow the system to prevent this app from running sometimes
I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

You can set the time that it shows up and also there is a repeat option as well.
Hi. Great app!! However... Even tho I've ticket to show the app's icon when a notification is received... I don't. Any ideas? Cheers
I can't get this to work at all on my s10. wanted to it flash different colours (with screen off) for variety of notifications (Skype, WA, Nine (email). Messenger). None work. can't get any light to come on at all....is there something I'm missing!?
Make sure that the built in edge lighting isn't turned on.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well

Notification sorting miui 12

Installed Miui 12 eu rom, now notifications are sorted by time instead of priority...
I have many persistent notifications and I intentionally set priority to minimal / 'trivial' so they stay at the bottom
I now have to search the notifications in the list and it's annoying.
Anyway to get it to the way it was?

Maybe try disabling this?
Not sure it made any difference.
Some of the apps did however stop "refreshing" their notifications and jumping to the top after a couple of times I opened them.
Some asked for permissions again...
There is just 1-2 apps that still do this.
ended up using Mi control center app
solves the notification sort problem + notifications aren't huge which I like and overall a very neat app.

nice app, but would be great if if worked correctly with custom quick settings tiles, like from Tasker, AutoNotification or Blokada.

Thanks for sharing. I have my first MIUI phone (coming from stock Android) and notifications in MIUI were driving me nuts. This app seems to return the stock Android behavior, hopefully there are no issues with it.
I still wish MIUI would honor the notification priority, what sense does it make to have silent notifications otherwise..
I am sorry for asking if it sounds silly, but how do we adjust priorities of notifications from different apps? Like I want some apps like text messages and missed calls etc to show on top of others in the list.
One more question, in Oxygen OS there was a feature of silent notifications, they were separated from the rest of the notifications by a neat divider labeled other notifications, they were collapsed by default and did not make a sound or splash. Can this be achieved in MIUI 12?

Question Consistently get notifications Find N2?

New here. Any help would be appreciated. I have followed videos and other posts but still can't consistently get notifications unless the app is open in the background. Any way around that besides locking it? Are we just limited to 5 apps that get consistent notifications by locking them in the background?
There are 10 apps (can't change the apps) that Oppo gives you the option to auto launch. If enabled these 10 apps will always display notifications. You can then select another 5 from all your other apps.
Before I got rid of the phone I downloaded an app to autolaunch a bunch of my apps so it's running in the background.
any way to set NOVA Launcher or other third party launcher as default here ?
Dear OPPO if you are reading here: Please release OTA to fix this problem as you just made on Android 13 and Find N1 ....

You can further lock 5 apps in the recent apps so that the system doesn't kill them and you'll get the notifications. In addition I would suggest to deactivate all battery optimisations for the apps you wish to receive the notifications:
Settings - apps - app management - you choose the desired app - battery usage - activate allow background activity.
Then you go to App - associated launch ( this is valid for the apps for which you DIDN'T allow auto launch) and enable it for the apps you wish to get the notifications for.
Lastly go to Battery - more settings - optimize battery use and for the apps you wish to get the notifications you need to choose "don't optimise".
Hope it helps

Unless the apps are running in the background (excluding the ones that you set to autolaunch), even with battery optimisation disabled etc you will not get timely notifications.

Yeah that's what I have noticed. I'm toying with the idea to use a secondary phone to get my notifications. Don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back.
I've had mine a week now and I'm getting used to only getting limited notifications. I just can't get my head around why they prioritise battery life over receiving notifications in China? I've always kept notifications to a minimum on my phones but 5 apps just isn't enough. You need a couple of messaging apps, maybe social media, banking etc to alert you to suspicious activity, they soon add up.
