PopUp Notifications not clickable

Morning everyone, so I've been using my N6 since Thursday of last week, and really like it so far. But the one thing that is kind of frustrating is that I'm unable to interact with the pop-up notifications. I would assume, if I'm lets say in my Gmail app, reading an email, and I get a test message I should be able to click on the pop-up notification and it should take me to Hangouts. But the only thing I'm able to do is swipe the notifications away and then pull the notification bar down, then click on the notification it will take me to the application. Anyone else have this issue? Is this by design?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brocja01

double tap the notification

That only works from the lock screen. I'm talking about when you're actually interacting with an Application lets say Gmail, and you get a text message. Those pop-up notifications. I can't do anything with them but swipe them away. That includes the pop-up notification for a phone call, I actually have to swipe away the notification, then pull down the notification bar to answer the call. Very frustrating...

Not for me, I can double click, click and hold, swipe down and nothing works but swiping left or right to dismiss.

I have exactly the same problem. I also see it on incoming phone calls -- the popup appears with "answer" or "dismiss", but I can't click either of them. All I can do is swipe the notification away and the phone keeps ringing. I just missed a call due to this.
Anyone else seeing this? I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Make sure you come back here and let me know if you figure this out. Kind of annoying. I've gotten really quick at swiping away, swipe down to answer calls.

I tried a couple of things this morning that seemed to help. I re-enabled the default Messaging app (I had disabled it because I don't use SMS on my phone). I also disabled Hangouts, cleared its data, and re-enabled it. Then I rebooted the phone.
Now Hangouts pop-ups seem to work correctly (I can tap them to go to Hangouts, swipe them down to go to the notification bar, etc.). I haven't had a chance to test it with incoming phone calls yet.

This worked to fix phone calls too, for me. I hope it works for you.

I did a reboot and they started to work. Very wierd.

[Q] Pop-up notifications?

Pop-up notifications weren't mentioned in the google announcement, but were in a release from sony
Have you seen this? I assume Keep would be a good test case for this.
If you want to post a pic or video, that would be appreciated, too.
Thanks

You get a small area across the bottom with a pop up notification (imagine the blank spot on the 360 but it is instead a notification) that remains until you... Swipe down to remove it which will not dismiss it as you can swipe up later to view any notifications which have not been dismissed. When you do choose to view a notification you can swipe up on the notification to view one full screen of it. You can then tap on the full screen notification to get a full scrollable email, text, etc. which can be interacted with further depending on the individual notification type. You might for instance want to voice in a response to a text or email which google now handles well as long as the response is short.
An interesting thing about google wear and the Urbane in general is that I have not found a definitive guide on how to interact with the watch in detail making sorting out what can be done with various notification types a trial and error task.

Thanks, but it sounds like you're describing regular notifications, which will vibrate, but do not appear on the face while an app is running. Sony's description sounds like a new notification will appear over any app that's running, so you don't have to exit the app to see it. Are you seeing them while using an app?

You're correct, I had thought you were talking about ordinary notifications. I've yet to use any apps on the watch, maybe someone else will chime in.

No, the urbane does not have notification pop up while an app is open on ur watch.

Ring Doorbell Pro Integration With Tablet

I have the Ring Doorbell Pro and am generally happy with its performance. I also just mounted an older Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 on the wall, as a hub for my various home automation lights, switches, etc..
I am trying to get the Ring Doorbell app to open when there is a ring, or motion is detected, to show the image from the Ring's camera for 40 seconds, then to close and return to the tablet's Home page.
I purchased Tasker, but unfortunately, my recipe is not working well at all. Here is what I have as a Tasker profile:
The trigger is a Ring app Notification when either a ring or motion is detected.
1. Open Ring app
2. Wait 41 seconds
3. Go Home
This works sometimes, but most of the time it either does not open the app, or it does not close the Ring camera-view window, or it does not go to the Home page, but stays on the Ring app's list view of events.
Has anyone done what I am trying to do and how did they do it? Any other suggestions?
I also have a Smartthings hub, if this would help in anyway. And Amazon Echo
Thanks!

Thanks! I did it, restarted tasker and the notification trigger worked several times in a row.
But it still fails to close the camera window, or to Go Home

Anyone with a Ring Doorbell who has achieved the task of bringing up the view window to the front for 40 seconds (the standard recording duration of Ring), and then closing it and returning to the Home screen?

So, does this mean that Tasker is unable to reliably bring an app to the front for 40 seconds, then close it?

Bump! Interested as well..

I suggest checking two things:
1. Instead of just going home, try killing the app
2. Double check the priorities of actions and set the task to abort existing tasks

have you looked into using IFTTT? there are ring recipes on there

To the OP. Did you ever get this to work?
I am trying the same thing with tasker, but tasker is new to me so im not sure how exactly to set this up. Are you able to assist?

Bump! Anyone have luck with this?
So far I have tasker doing the following on my wall mounted tablet near the front door upon receiving a Ring doorbell notification (motion or door bell):
Screen unlock
Secure settings > wake (screen & keyboard lights on 4 seconds)
Launch app > Ring
Wait 30 seconds
Go Home
All the tasks trigger except the wait for 30 seconds. Tasker ends up going home before the ring camera fires up and displays on the screen. This also has the unfortunate side effect of locking the ring doorbell and I have to manually go into the app and click the red hang up icon to “release” the doorbell. Any ideas on how to solve for the wait issue AND to gracefully close the Ring app after 40 seconds?
Thanks.

Me Too
I'm also trying to do the same thing with an old Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet so also very interested if someone has figured out how to get this to work.
Couple of additional questions:
1. If you have a wall mounted tablet how are you dealing with RING app wanting to run in Portrait mode only for navigation but landscape mode only for Live View
2. How to hve RING app immediately go to live camera via as right now I have to go from RING menu to Front Door and then Live View when motion is detected or click on notification if doorbell is rung. My goal is to be able to do what Amazon Echo Show can do which is give a voice command to Tablet .. "Show Front Door"
RING App combined with TASKER and/or IFTTT on an Android Tablet set-up as a KIOSK have a lot of potential if these issue can be resolved.
THanks,
Chris

Ring Doorbell automation with Tasker, Notification Listener and Rotation Controller
I have forced my RING App to run in Landscape Mode with an app called "Rotation Controller".
To have the RING App go directly to the live cam when the doorbell is rung, you can use the Tasker Plugin "Notification Listener" and make Tasker click on the notification as soon as it pops up. This makes the device switch directly to the camera view instead of the Ring App Homescreen.
This works fine so far, BUT yet I have found no way to close the camera view after a few seconds automatically. I can´t use the tasker "kill app" command, since my Xido X111 android device is not rootable. The "go home" command would bring up the home screen, but the camera window is still running in the background and thus blocking the doorbell until the hang-up symbol is clicked manually.
Any ideas how to close the camera view somehow on an unrooted device?

If you can access your tablet with ADB to do the set-up, look into AutoTools/AutoInput
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

AutoInput Point click didn‘t work for me, because the ring app doesn‘t seem to support accessibility from other apps (or maybe i was just too incompetent) BUT i found a very easy solution: after tasker fires up the ring camera and waits for x seconds, i let it just load the ring app again with the toggle „always start new copy“. This doesn‘t kill the ring app, but at least kills the camera screen and therefore prevent the doorbell from locking up. Now it just works as i wanted

You need the additional Tasker Plugin "Notification Listener" and make Tasker click on the notification as soon as it pops up. To close the camera screen after a few seconds, you just load the ring app again with tasker (don´t forget the toggle „always start new copy“).

"Profile" is the event that triggers something. In our case this is the notification from the ring app. you can choose "Notification Listener Event -> Posted Apps -> Ring App" for that.
"Task" are the actions which are triggered by the Profile Event (click on the notification to open the camera screen, wait x Seconds, close the camera by opening the ring app again):
1. Plugin>Gestures>Configuration>Notification Key: %nlkey
2. wait>45 Seconds
3. Launch App>Ring
you don´t need the "if"

I got it working!! thanks alot

Hi.
I've got all necessary programs (first time I bought something from play store) but can't get it to work.
Part with :"Plugin>Gestures>Configuration>Notification Key: %nlkey"
does not work.
How to get it to work?

Don't show sms preview at night

Here's one of those "how do I do this with Tasker?" questions...
I've got my SMS app set to show a preview of an incoming text. That's fine normally, but at night I use "Night Clock" on my phone as my alarm clock, and if I get a text it pops up a preview, which both blocks the time shown and creates a brighter screen that is annoying. I've already got a "night time" Tasker profile that handles volumes and notifications, so there's no audible effect, but I'd like to not get the preview during that same time. Anyone have any idea how to disable the text message preview when this profile is active? The message app is Verizon's message+, btw.
Thanks.

Does Do Not Disturb block visual notifications?

I would say that belongs to app feature. Maybe you can try to have Tasker auto dismiss it, but it will still show up first.

DnD does not block the notification. And auto-dismissing it would be fine. Now I need to figure out how to do that. Thanks!

yeah from what I understand DnD would just disable sounds and lights, what an app tries to show is something else. Maybe you can can have Tasker detects the popup and tap to dismiss it. You can also try the AutoInput plugin.

Ahhhh, auto dismissing notifications is easy!
Use AutoNotification - it's a fantastic app that's part of a set of tools.
https://joaoapps.com/autonotification/
You can do SO much with them. With tis app, all you'll do is monitor for new non-persistent notifications, then dismiss them.
One thing I use it for is when I unlock my phone, and I have a new SMS, Whatsapp, or email, the notification shade slides down so that I have easy access to them.

I did try out AutoNotification and it worked for me. I intercept the new message notification then, if do not disturb is on (nighttime setting), I send the back button, which dismisses the pop-up. Cool.
Thanks!

App notifications

For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?

Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.

YouTube Vanced is doing that to me

It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.

GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.

I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.

Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.

Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.

I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.

Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...
