Sporadically since I got the Note9, notifications have been acting up. Today it kicked into overdrive so I'm hoping someone knows what's going on.
For Twitter, I get notifications from specific users that stack in one column in my notifications. I've never had an issue with these, but today, after I tap them and view the tweet, a few seconds later they reappear in the bar like I never accessed them.
Instagram and Facebook keep showing the same notifications, hours after I view them. For instance, a friend posted a picture at 1pm today and I viewed it and the notification disappeared. Then, just now at 4pm, it popped up and notified me about the same picture again, along with 4 others I had viewed/cleared throughout the day. Instagram acts almost identically.
Android Messages will repeat notifications when I open the actual app. So if I receive a text, next time I open the app, that text will pop up as a notification complete with the sound and visuals.
I thought it could be issues with the individual apps, but with the frequency increasing and it happening with multiple apps from different developers I'm thinking it may be the phone or OneUI. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?

How can I tell which application is actually creating notifications from facebook?
In the official facebook app's settings, I've turned off notifications, but I still get them. I also have bloo, and a few other facebook apps installed, but as far as I can tell, none of them are running when I get the notifications.
As they come in fairly often, it can get annoying with the constant buzzing and/or bleeping.
(On a related note: going to the item in the menubar dropdown takes me to the official app, to the notifications page... Which I then close. And then, without any actual new notifications coming in, it alerts me again shortly thereafter. Annoying. Halp!)
Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

Hello. I've had my phone for about a week now. I don't have much on it yet. Just a few apps and gmail. I have noticed that I am not getting a lot of gmail notifications. I'll get some here and there, but I do not get notified whenever I get gmail. I just looked on my computer and had three emails sitting in my inbox and didn't get a single notification for any of them. Sometimes it's fine. When I turn on the screen, the notifications will suddenly appear. I can see the lock screen is blank, and then the notifications will show up.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on with this? My wife is also having a lot of problems with twitter notifications. She'll turn on her phone in the morning and the notifications will come pouring in, one after another. It can take up to a minute for all of them to show up. She hasn't indicated that she has any problems with gmail.
We're both coming from Note 4s and never had any notification issues.
Thanks
Power saving is probably killing apps from running in the background. See if you can tweak the power saving settings so it's less aggressive, or if you can put GMail and Twitter on a whitelist so they won't get closed.
Try going into setting/apps/ top right corner menu button - special permission
go to battery optimization/ all apps
then disable your preferred app
So far Note 8 has been killing the apps to 'save battery' so notification isn't being pushed. I'm having the same issue. this helped a bit but sometimes still misses notification.
if you really want to push it more then go to battery monitor and put it into white list where the phone doesn't shut it down.
I'm still trying to figure out a solid fix but this is the solution so far with my research.
Went from a Note 8 to the Note 9, anyone else notice that some notifications are super disruptive and find the setting to resolve? Maybe I'm just missing something, but seems like notifications like facebook for example are awful.
Doesn't seem to matter if it's youtube, VLC, Poweramp, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. If I get a facebook notification, as it's the worst, it will pause my currently playing movie/music/video for a good 2-3 seconds and then resume playing. I didn't have this on the Note 8 and it's driving me nuts lol.
I figure it has to be a os setting issue (as all notifications do this) but I can't find a way to change it other than disabling all notifications all together.
I'm having the same issues. Was hoping this thread wasn't empty.
I was having the same problem. If you go into Settings > Notifications, you can manage notifications for each app. I don't remember for sure, but I think just about all of my apps' notifications were ON by default! I shut them all of, then re-enabled just the ones on wanted! Sometimes you individual apps will also have different settings for notifications, too. But at least going into settings allows you to just shut them all down for an app. Thank goodness! No more Facebook notifications! Just be careful what you shut off. I shut off messages by mistake. I wondered why I wasn't getting notified when I got a text.
I have been experiencing delayed notifications on my Note 9, mainly with Facebook Messenger, but it applies also to the Line messenger app and Outlook, so it's not confined to one app. It's probably just that I use Messenger often, so notice it more with Messenger
The symptoms are a random and sometimes very long delay between sending a message and receiving a notification, measured in minutes to hours. Sometimes, I'll receive a bunch of notifications from multiple apps when opening the screen.
Other times, even opening the screen does not cause me to receive notifications. I can be actively using the phone and there will still be a random delay on notifications.
For example, I was using my phone earlier to web browse and my girlfriend sent me a message. I did not get a notification. After 30 minutes, she called and asked me why I was not reading her message. Opening the messenger app, I saw the message there (as well as the time at which it was sent) and about one minute later the notification came in.
Similarly, I can be using the phone and someone will video call me on Messenger. I don't get a notification until I actually open the app (I know this since my other phone that has the Messenger app installed on it rings, so I know I have an incoming call).
I can test notification delay by using one account from a computer to send a message to the account linked to my phone, so I know exactly when the message was sent. But the notification delay, even while using the phone actively, is still present and measured in minutes to hours, whereas the other phone receives the notification immediately.
It is NOT doze mode at fault. I have explicitly disabled ALL battery optimizations as well as turning off doze mode with ADB at boot time.
It's not bluetooth, even though some users in other threads have pointed to bluetooth being at fault.
I have cleared cache, uninstalled all updates for Google Play Services and Google Play and reinstalled them.
The phone itself seems capable of receiving push notifications correctly. I can use the push notification tester app to setup a high priority notification for, let's say 10 minutes from now. Then I shut the screen. After 5 minutes, I send a message to my phone with Facebook Messenger. No notification is received for this message.
After 10 minutes, the Push Notification Tester app triggers its notification correctly, which is received immediately. And then shortly afterwards, the notification comes in from Facebook Messenger.
Clearing cache and data on Messenger doesn't make any difference, and as I said in the first paragraph, it does not appear to be the app, since other apps are affected.
This is driving me crazy. I miss out on messages and important emails.
Is anyone aware of any solution to this problem? I just see a whole bunch of snake oil remedies on the net, but no real solution.
It appears to be something that might be related to notification priority, judging by the behaviour of the Push Notification Tester app, but this is just speculation on my part
