Android notification is one of the best systems which stands on the top but sometimes you have to face some delay or some strange behavior due to custom manufacturer skins or mishap of certain apps. This would hold up your notification from getting them on time or you missing some important alerts.
Have you got any interference with your notifications lately? Gladly we can fix this issue to get the notifications back on track. Lets take a look at some tips on how to fix this.
Suppose if you don't find the applicable settings in the app, head to Androids notification settings. To get to the feature head on to 'Settings > App & notifications > (name of the app) > Notifications. This is where you change the settings. If you are using the latest phone or Android Oreo, they have a reevaluated notification system. This will help you find the settings for different types of alerts.
Check battery optimization for apps
The apps that you don't use will be running in the background of your device often. Stopping them from running in the background will save battery life. For this purpose, Android has started to acquire Al-based software. This software predictions can go wrong sometimes due to the algorithm which is powering them.
Proprietary power savers
To automatically block certain apps that are not very important, your device manufacturers outperform by adding extra power saving tools. So you have to check whether your phone comes with any built in optimizations even though Google provides many of them.
For example -. Xiaomi phones provides a built-in app which is called 'Security'. These built-in apps come with several functions.
Reinstall/ wait for updates
If you encounter any issues with only single app then it must be a bug that has been unfolded by the developers by mistake. To curb these situations you have around three options. Let's take a look.
The options are; First you can uninstall and then reinstall, next to probe the issue you have to wait for a new update or go back to the older version of the app.
Check the do not disturb mode
Do you know that most of the phones come with a do not disturb mode attached by default. This is one handy option you can use if needed. This feature lets you hold back the notifications except the ones you allow. Those apps you allowed notifications will be working as usual. Do not disturb option is not hard to reach as the developers have kept it easy to reach in the quick settings. You might have also tapped it by mistake when you swipe down the notification.
To find this feature go to 'Settings' and head to 'Sound' or 'Notification' depending on your device model. Now review the 'Do not disturb' mode. If You still couldn't find it, go to 'Settings' again and on the top of the setting bar you will find the 'Do not disturb' option.
Check background data
Do you know that the latest Android devices with Android Oreo and above versions let's you dismiss apps in the background that have access to your mobile data. If you have a notification problem it's necessary that you check them out even though you haven't toggled them by mistake. Anyway the internet doesn't allow access to many apps that are critically dead.
To find this option, head to 'Settings > Apps & notifications > (App name) > Data usage > Background data'. That's all.
Check data saver
When you are not on Wi-Fi, the data saver feature minimizes the use of data consuming apps. This feature will make you miss out some of your important notifications.
Check app permission to work in background
Keeping it on for the apps that you like can be a problem too. Android has the ability to make its own changes if it deems necessary. If you have any notification problems you should check the following app settings.
Sync interval settings
This allows you to change the sync on data and Wi-Fi connection separately. You can also increase it to 15 minutes (which is the Android default) and drop it to 1 minute. Altering this could be a damage to your Android battery life unfortunately.
Still notification is not showing up
Are you done with all the steps given above? But still not getting your notification on time? Then it might be an issue in your mobile device. So if the issue still persists then you have to check for your latest mobile updates or contact your device manufacturer.
