My Pixel 3 shows frequent "Background processing" notifications from the Android Phone app. I have tried to silence them by long-pressing the notification and then toggling background processing to off, but they always keep coming back.
The notification settings might be getting reset every time the Phone app is auto-updated, which is probably very frequent. Seems like a serious UX oversight, and I would love to get rid of it.
This is also driving me nuts. Tried to disable "background processing" notifications for the phone app... Won't even let you toggle to disable.
Is the Phone app pre-installed in your Android system?
Is there something wrong with your Android system security? You'd better have a full security check.
It's a Pixel, of course the Phone app is pre-installed. And there is nothing wrong with the OS security. This problem existed on Android 10 and transferred over after upgrading to Android 11.
And 2-3 weeks ago, I started receiving a similar notification from the Wellness app, can't disable that one either.

I have a weird problem. I got the Note 8 a little while ago, and everything was fine for a while. However, I one day noticed that the phone didn't show a notification when DND was on, or charging information in the notification shade when plugged in. After lots of searching, I've found that the System UI app in Settings is set to not show notifications. When I try to press the notifications in the app details, it takes me to a panel that just says System UI, and when I press it, it goes straight back to the app details, but what looks like in a new page. It's pretty much a loop, and I cannot seem to turn the notifications back on. Does anyone know how to fix this without having to reset the device? Thanks!
Download and install SystemUI Tuner, grant the permissions over ADB, then in Miscellaneous enable Power Notification Controls and then you can re-enable them.
Here is how to grant permission

Terrific. Worked perfectly well on Note8. Thanks!!!!!!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhh i am looking so hard for a way to have what you have, i hate system notifications mostly because now with the oreo update it keeps bugging me to confirm that i want to disable the data when i use the quick toggle, it s an annoying popup, and i do not have that option avabile for oreo in the solution posted above
Badge app icons are not working on my phone for Facebook and Messenger app, for Gmail (probably some more apps but i can't think of them right now) and I don't have them in setting to enable this notification.
It is brand new phone, 10 days old. I have updated it right away on EMUI 5.1 / Android 7.0 / Build STF-L09C432B183 as the phone said it was the latest.
I have uninstalled apps, restarted phone and then installed them again, restarted again. Nothing
Factory reset. Nothing
Enabled everything i could find on notification settings, battery optimization, etc... Notning
I still don't have them in settings so i can enable them.
I get push notifications about mails, about messages, about likes on fb etc... but no badge notification.
I have attached screenshot.
Any help, ideas?
I have exactly the same problem. But ...
There are settings to turn this on. Hold the finger on the empty space of home screen then tap Settings in the lower right and then Badge app icons and then turn them on. However, these settings didn't fix my issue, I hope they solve yours. I have the exact same phone and firmware/software, does anybody know the solution?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. The apps that don't show an icon aren't on the list you mentioned and I've looked through all other settings in the settings app and in the apps themselves. But yesterday I got a notification that there was a new system update. And after I downloaded it I have had icon badges on Facebook Messenger. But still nothing on Snapchat or Gmail.
Working perfectly here. I'm on oreo.

Can't get notifications from Facebook, Words With Friends, Facebook Messenger and other apps. No badge notifications or alerts. And I get Facebook Messenger notifications at the top of the screen with every text sent or recorded WHILE USING FACEBOOK MESSENGER! Anyone else having notification issues?
I texted with Samsung tech support (big mistake!) and they said that it was a hardware issue and to return the S9+ to Verizon for replacement. This makes no sense to me. Sounds like a software issue. Thoughts?
what launcher are you using?
if stock Samsung launcher, pinch in on the screen and go to settings... you'll find that notification badges have to be turned on there separately for some annoying reason
if any other launcher, make sure you've given it notification access under accessability so the launcher can read notifications and give you the correct 'badge' for the icon
I heard that for some, the battery optimization might be running too aggressively. Try going into battery usage, settings (3 dots), then battery optimization, then select to show all apps, then try unselecting the apps your having problems with. Give it a run for a few days to see if that helps.
I am using Samsung's launcher. Spent 2 hours on the phone with them. Tried everything. Nothing works. May have to do a factory reset
It's software issues. I got the same problem.

Tried your suggestion. So far, no dice.
Yeah I am looking toward a factory reset too. Notification issue but different. no Edge Lighting alerts.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Edge Lighting Notifications to work. After a week with this phone I am yet to see one. Samsung Experience Home. Notifications on for everything. No apps have Optimise battery usage. All I get is a notification tone, an icon on the AOD and a status bar icon. But for me Edge Lighting Notifications are totally MIA!
So I eventually got some Edge Lighting alerts to work. Primarily by going into each and every app that I awn the alerts from and setting "Do not disturb custom exception" to On within it Notification area. PITA to have to do this in each app when it should be settable from the system notification area one would think. Now have it working for Whatsapp, Skype and Samsung Messaging.
But for love or money I cannot get it to work for GMail. Anyone else got Edge Lighting alerts working with GMAIL. Setting "Do not disturb custom exception" does not do it.
In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.
So I just recently bought this device about 3 days ago. I'm a former iOS user and I'm really missing pop-up notifications on this device.
I'm aware that they do exist and work, but not in my case.
I've tried setting setting up App launch, Notification management settings, manually checking if an app like Messenger has notifications enabled.
I am getting notifications to my lock screen and status bar, sound and vibration, but I'm not getting pop up notifications while I'm doing something on my phone which is really annoying.
I've also disabled notifications on the status bar, but I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
Another thing I've tried is using a fake notification app and setting up a custom notification. It works just like described above while the priority is set to 'normal'. When I set it to 'high' priority, only then it gives me a pop up notification.
Sorry if I'm not very clear on this.
I'm running EMUI 8.2.0 and Android 8.1.0, also using Nova launcher prime if that's any useful info.
Thanks
