For some reason the toast/ push notifications for my apps that use it have stopped working...
Apps are:
Live soccer Scores lite
Spell It
AlphaJax
I also don't get toast notifications when an email comes in
Anyone else run into this problem or have any ideas how to fix this? I don't want to hard reset the phone...would lose way too much
Have you tried reinstalling them?
I get an error for Spell It that says:
Cannot initialize push notifications channel. You will not receive notifications related to this application
I have uninstalled and installed the game several times...same issue. It worked at some point but just stopped all of a sudden.

Only 15 apps can register for notifications, additional apps won't be able to. It's a platform limitation.
I tried to find it in the official docs, but can't. It's definitely in some stuff I was sent as a launch partner. Engadget also covered it.
Could this be your problem?
You have hit the 15 app limitation. This has happened to me several times and removing apps did not help. I had to factory reset the phone. I hope this bug (having to reset) is fixed with the NODo update. I know that 15 app limit will be there but having to reset the phone is totally BS. Samsung Focus unlocked.
Ugh. I am also suddenly experiencing this issue. I don't want to go start removing every app or doing a hard reset and spend a day re-configuring everything again from scratch.
I wish someone with the NoDo update could tell us somehow if this was fixed?
Nodo Update
I didn't experience the push notification problem before forcing NoDo update, but I am experiencing it now... Push works on emails, but not on my weather app, beezz, stocks live - all used to work before I did pre-nodo and nodo today.

I keep having trouble updating apps. For instance now it tells me that there are 3 apps that need updating. I tell it to update, it downloads the update then it says "attention required. tap here".
I tap and it says "can't play or download. There's a problem with the license".
These are just free apps and not large and I'm not letting it lock mid update or anything like that. I've worked around it by deleting the apps reinstalling, but it keeps happening the next time it needs to update.
Any ideas?
I had a problem like this, and it's a really poor design of this page; Where it says 'attention required' on the download page, hold down and a context menu will appear with 'retry' and 'cancel'
I have retried over and over and it just never completes. I deleted the update and I restarted the phone and still the same thing.
Getting a bit annoying
Still can't update any apps. Am I the only one?
Are they trial versions? Seems to be an issue where an update is pushed out for the paid version that doesn't apply to the trial, and the update doesn't go through but you still get notified about it. That's what I've heard (secondhand) from MS support, anyway.
Thanks for the reply. I deleted just about all the apps and it looks like updates started working again. Of course when I deleted the apps it wouldn't let me reinstall apps again, even one's I've paid for. This seems to have settled down after some time and a couple phone reboots.
All in all the whole marketplace and updating thing seems like a real mess from what I have seen, even when things are working right.
I hope we get some updates sometime soon.
Thanks again

willp2, did the apps reinstall when you synced your phone or did you have go to marketplace to redownload them? I'm having the same problem. Except one of the apps is one I purchased but never got to download because of the error.
I had to re-download them. It wouldn't let me at first, but after rebooting the phone I was able to redownload from the phone. I was never able to reinstall from the Zune desktop.
Hi guys,
my issue is easy to describe, but I really don't know how to fix it.
Problem:
Normally Whatsapp, Snapchat or what else, will give you a notification when u have a message or something like this.
But sometimes, I really dont know when, sometimes when it's cleared from recents, sometimes when it's still in recents, the "information" wont come through.
For example, when a friend of mine sends a whatsapp to my device, he just has one tick and I dont receive anything. When I open Whatsapp manually, it "loads" all the information on the server and only then gives me the notification.
So it isnt really the problem of the Notification. I think the real problem is, that because whatsapp is like in a doze or something, the messages wont arrive on my device.
This problem isn't only for whatsapp, it's on all my apps which have like a "background communication"
Tried fixes:
In smart manager is excluded them from the saving power option
Checked if there is like a mobile data restriction
Cleared dalvik cache
Used Push Notification Fixer - but as I mentioned, I dont think this problem is the real notification, there is just no message, which could notify me
Re-installed the app with out titanium backup -- so fresh clean Google Play Store installation
My Device:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge -- SM-G935F
Superman-Rom v 1.12 --> I tried with other customroms -- same problem
Prometheus Kernel 1.5.3
If anybody has any possible solution, please let me know
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Hi @MisterEvo,
i unfortunately cannot help you, but I wanted to say, you are not the only one with this problem - i recognized these "Push-notification-issues" too.
I tried nearly everything to fix it, like different Custom Roms, different Kernels, different Bootloaders, clear cache or reinstall app, disabled app in smartmanager, allowed background data usage and so on, but nothing, really nothing fixed my push-notification bug.
I would really appreciate if there are any suggestions from the community.
Regards.
Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER
You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).
Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...
I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...
Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs
already tried... doesn't help at all...
So my calendar notifications have been weird since the day I got my S8, they only seem to work when it feels like working..
I've just missed an appointment because I didn't get a notifications (I set 3), is there a solution?
Two things I found online, first one worked for a day or two, second one apparently did the trick:
Disable battery saving per app - you have to do this for each app you don't get notifications from
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/fix-delayed-notifications-your-galaxy-s8-s8-0177437/
Disable Google app - apparently Google app causes problems, so you have to disable it. Just the Google app, nothing else by Google.
Also you have to check enabled notifications: Settings - Notifications - Calendar

I've started a new thread about this one.
Do you mean disable google in settings->applications->application manager->google app (it is now saying disabled on my device).
I'm curious if this is gonna do the trick. I'll try and come bazck if it does not.
I't is strange that there are not MORE people complaining about this, maybe no one uses calendar apps.
I have the same issue on my note 8, I try everything to make the calendar notifications working but nothing seems to work.
I've search for a solution all around the web but there's no way...
I'm having the same problem from day one! I hoped Oreo fw wouldn't have this problem anymore but unfortunately it's still there. It's driving me nuts!
How the hell did Samsung not fix this already? Calendar application should be one of the most important apps in a smartphone. Yet it's totally unreliable and there is no solution for this! It probably has something to do with aggressive power saving.
Anyone found a way to fix this?

My solution to this and whole lot of other notifications is disabling Doze through adb:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

Well, I have the same problem, and I tried everything with samsung center, because I have J5 (2017) android 7.0 OS, but they did not help in any way. I found solution on forums, that works for me, and it is app on google play named "calendar notifier". It automaticly sinc with your calendar, and it plays any sound you choose for alarming, until you dissmiss it. It may happend that you hear 2 sounds, one from calendar it selfe, and one from calenad notifier, but you will not miss the appointment....
Any updates?
Has anyone heard of a forthcoming solution on this?
My only "fix" has been to disable the Google App except that app is how I launch commands for Google Home. Without it I cannot use my phone to take actions for my smart home devices. So it's a bit of an inconvenience for me. Plus surely there are people out there that like using the native google search capability on their phone while still getting notifications from apps.
I say from apps by the way as it's not just an issue exclusive to my calendar. When I have Google enabled it works for a while, but then will stop and many things stop. Text notification indicators, facebook notification indicators, calendar appointment notifications etc.
Do we need to be contacting Samsung support through their website or have people done this and it just doesn't help?
It's a bug in Android and it will be solved in next big update hopefully. Until then workaround is to use this app:

FANTASTIC INFO. Thank you. Glad to see it's in the works for correction. Seemed like quite a large issue to have even happened and not being repaired quickly. But I suppose I don't know the complexities of what caused this or the best solution to fix it. Just seems like a lot of people rely on calendars and appointment reminders not working would be a big **** storm for them.
Just chiming in to let you know I'm having the same problem on my Note 8! It was working for a few months and then stopped! Tried clearing cache, data, and many other "fixes" that I've since forgotten. Nothing works. Recently got the Oreo update and SAME problem!! Really annoying! Maybe it's Google sabotage?! They are trying to control everything! Btw, downloaded the Google calendar app but I don't like it!
I had used successfully the adb doze disable on command prompt but my phone just "upgraded" to Oreo 8.0.0 and now my calendar notifications have stopped working again!!! I had a functioning calendar finally but now it's gone again!!! I ran the adb command line again (adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable) but still no notifications! I cleared data, checked the app wasn't optimized and reverted to stock calendar but nothing! Does anyone know another command line to stop this doze crap in 8.0.0??? This is why I dread EVERY "upgrade"! How could they take this away from me again???!!! I used to love Samsung but now I hate it!!!
I did the device doze disable using SDK tools and this worked for months then it stopped notifications again... sometimes! Besides making calls this is the number one thing I need from my phone and it still doesn 't work! Anyone ever find a solution to this because I still need one! Using Android 8.0! I was using Calendar Events app, worked for a while then quit. Same with Calendar Notifier and Calendar Snooze app. Plus a number of other apps designed to work with the calendar. I've been relying on my calendar since my Galaxy S2!
I stopped using calendar notifications because of this issue. I have very spotty wifi and mobile data, I found that calendar notifications would only work with a data connection. Typically, I'd set a notification, but remember the appointment anyway. About 10 minutes in the car, data finally connects, the 30 minute old notification finally goes off....
It's a dismal state of affairs when the consumer becomes the software tester with such an essential device.
Well,this is weird. My Whatsapp notifications weren't working. When I set the notification in the app ,you can select the app that chooses the file eg Chomp(SMS), Audio files,Themes,Music.
Intutively, I chose Audio files, and that appears to work, but Whatsapp produced no sound on incoming messages. When I chose Chomp to select the MP3 file, it seems to work OK. I'll play a bit more and report back.

Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.
i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...
if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try
Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

same problem....
Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?
Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.
