I found this trick to solve the push notifications delay in miui forum...
Here is the trick to solve the push notifications delay in apps like WhatsApp, Play Services, IMO, etc...
Download this app and select the recommended settings, reboot... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer
And make sure to allow permissions like autostart, background usage, lock in recent apps, disable optimization etc to your app...
Hello everyone
I turned off all battery saving endeavors that I'm aware of:
1- Settings > battery & performance > power > battery saver > OFF
2- Settings > battery & performance > power > battery use > more > battery saver > turn on automatically > OFF
I noticed that after pressing more, if you select the second option: battery optimization
It lists apps that are either optimized or not optimized (that you can optimize)
I noticed that what's app & gmail were optimized by default.
Maybe that explains why their push notification was turned off overnight?
If you click the settings icon in the power section, it opens a menu. In that menu there's an option:
Clear cache when device is locked:
You have the option from setting it trigger from 1 minute, to 30 minutes or never.
What cache are they referring to?
3- under developer options
I turned off MIUI optimization
I left 'memory optimization' on low
Maybe the 'low' turned off push notifications during the night?
So, how is miui optimization different from memory optimization?
I noticed that this morning I did not receive what's app or gmail notifications till I opened each individual application.
This is a huge issue because I need push notifications to be like their namesake: PUSHED

I don't know 😀
I'll find out throughout the day though, I guess.
I did also turn off:

In the above, I turned off optimization for those apps.
So, now I won't know whether memory optimization in developer options or whether battery optimization will resolve it.
Well. No more disabled push notifications.
Either this resolved it:
under developer options
I set 'memory optimization' on off
Or this
I noticed that after pressing more, if you select the second option: battery optimization

my wechat/messenger/pebble all work fine.
Gmail for some reason isn't automatically syncing so it doesn't receive the messages.
This is incredibly frustrating.
I read that the gmail app from google play works better than the one in the mi app store.
I uninstalled the mi one, installed the google play one, and that worked.
I also noticed that in my flailing about, I turned on the 'WLAN only" option in settings->sync, which was a bad move. (not my root cause though).
I added everything I tried (and I did a lot) to my FAQ.

Apparently it didn't work.
I slept at about 11 pm
I woke up this morning to notifications from about 1 am
Then when I opened the app, I received messages from 2 am and onwards.
I checked the above settings. They were the same as before.
Very weird. Discomforting experience.
Try my suggestions in the thread to disable MIUI optimizations to reslove late/missing notifications problem:
underlines said:
Disable MIUI battery saver and fix missed/late notifications
Settings > Battery & performance > Manage apps' battery usage > Off
Settings > Battery & performance > Power > Battery saver > Battery saver toggle off
Settings > Notifications & status bar > App notifications > select apps that can show floating notifications and notifications on lockscreen
Security > Permissions > Auto start > select apps that should get notifications after reboot
Security > Settings icon > Cleaner settings > Clean automatically > turn off / Update automatically > turn off

This is the only one I hadn't done
Let's see
Ok some bad news
Today morning gmail was disabled
It could've spay been disabled yesterday but I didn't notice
I went to bed at 10 pm
Woke up at around 1 am
I found what's app enabled
But gmail was disabled
When I entered gmail, the last email received was a little after 11 pm
Then it refreshed & I saw emails from 12 am & 2 am
I fell asleep again & awoke again at around 4am
Same thing
Then finally woke up at around 6 am and the same thing happened
But since waking up & continuously using my phone, gmail is working fine. Emails are pushed.
It's surprising because I replicated the what's app settings to gmail.
Therefore they should be behaving the same.
Try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gcm&pcampaignid=APPU_1_YWdIWJ2-JML3vgSk-6qQDg
Ok
It turned out gmail was not synchronizing
See photo
I restarted that device & that resolved it
Why do you suppose that happened?

I'm not 100% but I think because google framework is installed, not part of the stock system,
that stuff like 'Google play services' has to be "kept active"' (autostarted, etc, etc) the same as wechat/gmail/etc.

I am facing the same issues wirh mi mix 2s. Even when selecting all notifications ON from the application notification, it is forgetting it.
No notification sounds, no notifications unless i open the apps..... That sucks!!

I noticed that some themes can disable the push notifications. Perhaps you should try all the tweaks mentioned here when you are in the default theme first? Also, if you are in MIUI 10, some themes show a warning that they are not compatible with Miui 10 and that some parts of the "system" may not work properly. Did you get this message?
Hi
First of all I have the chinese variant. So I don't know if the settings are a little different than on the global variant.
On Oreo I found two different battery settings.
The first one is in Apps¬ifications - See all apps - select an app - Battery - Battery optimization. If the developer adjusted his app for Oreo battery optimization, you can select this. In some cases you can also activate "Background activity" here. I have no idea what these settings mean exactly and how they influence background sync and activity.
The second settings are in Battery - Background activity manager. There you can active "Auto Active" and "Lock Screen" per App.
So let's talk about my issue. If I set "battery optimization" in the first settings, it will disable background sync in the corresponding app. For example I open Google Calendar, active sync there, close the app. Open it after maybe 30min it will tell me sync is disabled. Also with this setting I won't get any Whatsapp messages if the app isn't in the foreground.
If I activate both options in the second setting it will work. What I don't get: With some apps these options change the first setting. Some apps stay at "battery optimization" and some apps fall back to "not optimized"
However I think with these settings the apps use more battery.
Anyone tried these settings? And tested the different possibilities?
Why is it so hard to do battery optimization and still get push messages in Gmail oder Whatsapp? Why I have to manually change settings to get this working?
Thanks for your answers!
Obvious step is to set every possible app to battery optimization mode (that's your first one). It's not possible to turn this on for every app (some simply needs to stay on all the time). Battery optimization doesn't disable sync for apps immediately, but only when device is in deep sleep. Also u can blacklist some of them (that's your second option) which drain more battery even with optimization option turned on. Try to blacklist apps which u don't use so frequently and u don't need to check for notifications so often.
I use those settings, keep few apps that need more of my attention, rest is blacklisted.
When I use the new Google Assistant, only the microphone appears in the center when it triggers and I select the icon on the left. However, when an app such as Android Auto is in use, the new Google Assistant also gives me options such as Google Lens, Explore, etc. when I select the same icon on the left. Is there a way to have the latter options when using the Google Assistant ALL OF THE TIME?
Is there a way to shut up google assistant? For example.... I ask to turn the lights on, and then it says very loud, ok I will turn on the lights . I don't mind so much during the day, but late when other people sleeps, it's really Annoying.
Regards!
You can set it by enabling the 'Night Mode' in the device's settings via the Google Home app. Go to that device in the Home App's main screen > Gear Icon > Notifications & Digital Wellbeing > Night Mode. There you can set the time period for the night mode and a few extra settings too.
