So I've followed the guide on how to get push notifications. I've done it all from turning off battery saver, locking the apps, turning memory optimization off, putting apps in auto start, turning the floating notifications on, etc...There are still several apps that won't push notifications (YouTube, Amazon shopping, Yahoo mail). I don't use many apps that push notifications, but I'm guessing most won't work. However, I'm able to receive notifications from Gmail,. Viber, and Textra.
Is their anything else I can do other than switch to a custom ROM? I'm on the latest Chinese ROM. I've followed the guide on here step by step.
Only thing you seem to have not mentioned seems "Turn MIUI optimisations" off in Developer options. Try that maybe? Yahoo seems to work me, though inconsistently sometimes.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that one. I tried it last night after watching a YouTube video and it didn't work. I'll try it again though. I don't see how Xiaomi will get repeat business from people if they can't even accomplish getting push notifications right.

Another interesting tidbit of information is 8 Ball pool will push me notifications and I don't have the app on any of battery methods mentioned such as turning off battery saver off for the specific app, putting it in auto start and making it priority. Yet other apps I've done those measures on won't push notifications. Go figure. F*ck MIUI.
Hello,
My dad bought the p9 not so long ago in China, EVA-AL10C00B386, android 7.0, EMUI 5.0, he stopped using it shortly after because if whatsapp was no open in the background, he would not receive any notifications.
My phone died yesterday so I'm trying to use his p9 now, not only whatsapp doesn't receive notifications when offline, I noticed that you can't use whatsapp on your pc either ( since it requires your phone to be connected when used), so I guess whatsapp (also telegram, but I guess it's a general problem) just doesn't run in the background when the app is not active.
I've been searching online for a fix, but I only found irrelevant solutions.
Is there any way to fix it? and if not, will installing a different rom fix the issue? if so, is there any specific rom I should get?
EDIT: I enabled developer options, and in the Running Services, whatsapp and the rest aren't running, so why is the phone blocking these services?
Thanks
try to use protected-apps to receive notification
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/152649/what-is-protected-apps-in-huawei-phones
I can not find the protected-apps options, I looked every where, and under Battery, it doesn't exist, the closest option I found was settings -> battery -> close apps after screen lock.
And I already disabled it for everything.
For me worked to add a widget on my homescreen of the app you want to run in the background. With the widget the phone is forced to run the app in the background. With Whatsapp for example you can add the widget with all of the chats.

That's good to hear that it worked ?. You could also make Whatsapp to a system app. I don't know why but that works also but you need root for this.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with Microsoft Outlook. I have it set to 'manually manage' in App Launch, but that hasn't fixed things. Any ideas please?

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Launch app, go to recent apps, swipe down and hold app until lock icon appears, win. This worked for all of my affected apps. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I've already done that actually. If you don't touch your phone for say an hour, are you sure the notifications are coming in when it's sleeping and not just when you turn your screen back on?

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

It has worked wonders for me at least, notifications are doing their normal thing, including sending them to my FitBit. But I guess there are all kinds of settings that can mess up your notification system =/

Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.
Once my screens been off 15 minutes, friends WhatsApp msgs only show 1 grey tick their end until I open WhatsApp again

Hello everyone,
I just bought my new Realme X2 Pro from AliExpress a few days ago, and have been facing an annoying issue.
Although I have disabled Smart Power Saver and App Quick Freeze features in the settings, almost all the installed applications do not pop up any notification. I also have enabled notifications for each app, such as Yahoo email, Gmail, Mobile banking apps, Telegram, Imo, WhatAPP, etc., and have allowed them to always run in the background. I know it would drain the phone battery, but I thought doing these kinds of stuff would fix the notification problem. I did whatever the Realme website suggested and also what the community proposed.
This is my first experience with an unknown cellphone brand, and I have to put it to the experience.
I was wondering if anybody can advise me on a solution.
I have to mention that I did factory reset my phone thrice and also updated my phone to the latest OS version, but nothing changed!
Suggested solutions by Realme which did not work:
https://www.realme.com/in/support/kw/doc/FAQ1106
I would appreciate your valuable comments on this topic.
It's very strange,
I buy from Amazon the european blue 12GB 256GB and I only setup my programs and I don't have any issue in notifications at all.
I use Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, 4 e-mails accounts and everything work good has expected. I have this phone 5 days ago and I don't have this notification issue.
And is a very boring issue.
As far as I know: Chinese ROM have problems with notifications ...EU ones is good

So go in the apps that you aren't getting messages from in the app list in the settings menu and in one of the options you can select wifi or wifi and data . I had a bunch of apps that were set to wifi by default so I had to adjust that (I just went through and activated the wifi&data option for all the apps regardless) and also if you like use adb to remove Athena package that fixed all notification issues for me.

Thanks, I just did it, but it didn't solve the issue. If I close the recent apps, no notification will be shown. I need to keep the apps running in the background and do not tap on close the application icon, which is not acceptable. We close the recent applications habitually.
Any solutions?
In my case it eventually worked for Gmail but Hangout still needed it to be in the background for instant notifications. I have already submitted a ticket to their Chinese bug forum.

Yeah, Gmail mostly shows the notifications, but Yahoo Mail, WhatsApp, IMO, and even mobile banking apps do not show any notification. I miss so many calls and chats because of that. I have enabled run in the background and have disabled the power saving, but most of the apps do not follow the rules. ColorOS kills them completely. I reckon Realme Chinese versions have these issues.

Yea hopefully they will fix some of it with the next update. But on the other hand you don't have to miss those calls and chats. We can still lock the apps in the background for instant notifications in the meantime.

Hi,
Even if we lock an app in the background, if we swipe up, that app would be closed! We usually do it. Realme and ColorOS should release an update for Chinese version of Realme X2 Pro model to get it fixed.
Same issue
I'm experiencing this issue.. I have a Chinese master gray model.. Such a disappointment when I started using this phone. Had such high expectations.
I never get email notifications WhatsApp works sometimes Facebook sometimes messenger sometimes who knows whatever else works and doesn't work. I went through 250+ apps turning everything on in notifications. My battery is set to high performance all the time.
This has to be the worst phone I've ever owned. Whether it's because it's a Chinese rom or Color OS who knows. Would love someone to find a solution
If i find a solution I'll update you

I'm on the EU version and GMail will only notify me of emails from my main Gmail account, I don't receive notifications on 3 other email accounts that I have linked to the into the Gmail app. even though its set up to do so.

i did what you already said step 3) is the only addition, but its working perfectly fine here! make sure everything is updated.. or sadly factory reset.
1) long press the app then click on app info, or go to app info what ever is easy for you.
2) power saver change it to Allow background Running
This should solve the problem. if not the extra one to do is
3) your recent apps click on the three lines menu and lock the app.
i have 12GB ram so it does not affect anything.
this solved my problem
more to this i faced issues with whatsapp popup notification on the top the Bubble thing but after time it works, its mostly the Color OS is Really not working well with the phone.
sorry if you found this useless but i hear you!

I know that we can pin/lock the recent apps in the background, but after tapping on “close the recent apps icon,” even the pinned apps will be closed!! So, we habitually tap on that icon, and pinning the apps won't help us.
I can not even toggle the screen pinning ????
