Heads up notifications in marshmallow - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running rooted stock and for the life of me I can't make GMail display a heads up notification. Facebook, Hangouts, and other apps work but GMail just displays a normal icon the notification bar.
Anyone else seeing this or is your working correctly. The notification peek setting is on as it should be and is the same for the other apps that are working.
HELP!

Haven't seen it on any app. Where's the heads up settings on stock?

It is called peek and can be set on a per app basis. Look at the app info and you will see a peek slider to enable/disable.

OK, 'allow peeking' is turned on for my apps, but not popping up. Might be the rom I'm on...will check its thread. Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "app info". I don't see anything like a peek setting in my Gmail settings or in App Manager. Or are you talking about this peek app in the Play Store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jedga.peek.free&hl=en

Go to settings...apps...choose the app...choose notifications and you will see the alllow peeking setting.

Thanks, I found it there! Unfortunately, like the others, allow peeking was already set for Gmail, but I never see any heads up notifications for it.

Were you able to figure this out on the ROM you are on? I have the same issue, not popping up.

Stock rooted and no notifications are working for any apps
I flashed all the partitions with the factory images and restored 200 apps with TiBu so I have no idea why.

Hi, no still not working on the stock rom LightRom that I'm using.
I found a quote in that thread that states it would work on AOSP roms...
aosp: "It also has app opps/privacy guard, led notification, support for layers and Heads Up. The latter is about the only thing I didn't care for. I don't like having to blacklist the apps I don't want heads up notifications from. Everything seemed very stable though. All that said, after two days with the aosp build, I'm back to LightRom."

The only app that doesn't work for me is GMail. I am starting to think that it is a GMail problems and not the OS.

Yeah, I gave up on the new MM build. It's too green & I know the Dev's are working their darnnest to get all working properly. So I flashed back to 5.1.1 on my favorite CM RoM for now while the dust settles.

I think that's exactly correct. I just got my Nexus 5X yesterday. It has Marshmallow and I haven't rooted it.... yet. But I have made the same observation. Gmail app doesn't peek. It makes the notification sound and a small icon appears on top left corner of the screen when I get an email but it doesn't peek. I don't have this problem with any other App; all of them show the heads up notification. Peeking is enabled for all the apps but still only Gmail has this issue.
Frustrated, I googled but this is the only topic that came up that was relevant to my problem. All other posts just talked about how to enable/disable peeking on Android 6.0

I have the same issue, all aps except Gmail shows heads up. Running MM 6.0.1 on Nexus 6, still no change

Jelly Bean has killed Light Flow

Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.
It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

Ah ha, good point. I just assumed it was the update to JB, but you're right, Gmail updated pretty much straight away afterwards aswell.
In that case, hopefully the lightflow guys will be on it pretty quick...

I've just installed 3.5.2LITE and still having the same issue?
What version are you running and is it fixed for you?
I've just checked back on Play and fix in the next few hours, so I'll give it a look in the morning.
Thanks for the pointer though

You'll need 3.6.0 to show in the play store.

I'm still running the free version at the moment and getting no notification for Gmail?
I'm also still unable to change anything for 'Google Now'?
Can anyone else do anything with 'Google Now', or is it just me?
I've updated to JB but don't have a app called Google Now, am I better leaving the phone as is?

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

Yeah, I stumbled across it that way aswell and it's disabled, as I've no intention of using it.
I just wish I could also uninstall 'SmartAction', but that's another story for another thread, as keen to get my LED notifications working first.
Thanks for the Google now I'm leaving it as well

Ah well, not just me then. I dropped the developer a mail, I guess he's probably sleeping after spending the previous night fixing the crashing problem caused by the gmail update.

You can't uninstall SmartAction but you can disable it go going into settings\apps\all apps, find SmartAction and click on the disable button at the top right.

If you're rooted maybe, but you can't if you're not. The only option is to uninstall updates.
New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

KitKat apps (Google Now) and Gear

Everytime i get a notification from Google Now, I get a notification on the gear. This is getting aggravating. I get a ton of notifications. I finally had to disable sports updates. Now i'm getting weather updates. All notifications are pointless because all you can do is use the gear to open up the application on the Note3 cause you can't see anything on the Gear.
Would be nicer if you could see everything on the Gear. Other wise I'm looking to disable, if i could.

Just go into the notification settings (on the settings screen, tap in the text area on the notifications item) and uncheck google.

ATN is independent of itself from what has been relayed. I do see it in mine, but he has been updating constantly, so that could make a difference.
I am using version 1.0 and that has been just perfect for me so far.
This thread would have much of what your looking for.

Pretty sure you have volume set on priority only
After some searching around, found it.
It's a lollipop feature called "interruptions" which allows you to decide what app notifications can interrupt you. I had apparently set it to custom. I set the default back and the star disappeared.
By the way, when I say I haven't installed any apps, or I'm confident that it's not my apps, it's not an app.
That is the priority notifications only icon. See here. Check which one you have selected.

It's like an alarm feature. Only notifications from the people you've prioritised will show.

How it works......
You set days and times that you don't want something to happen, phone calls, texts, notifications. Example.... I have mine set for 7 days, 930p-630a, to only allow starred contacts to call or message me. If someone not starred messages or calls me, my phone will not ring, allowing me to watch movies, sleep, whatever, uninterrupted.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Do this;
Star the contact for your wife, parents, etc., and NOT your boss. Set downtime for nights and weekends. Now your work can't bother you at night or on weekend.

Delayed notifications

Is anyone else getting extremely delayed notifications on their Asus ROG Phone 2? I have noticed that notifications are taking about 10-15 minutes to finally pop up on the phone. If I go in to the apps, such as Google Voice, 2FA apps, PushBullet, Visual Voicemail, Outlook, GMail, etc... I see the information in the app, but the notifications still take a long time to actually pop up in the notification tray.
I had that happen in the beginning then I disabled all app manager stuff other than stock android battery optimization. So I disabled all the asus auto disable or mobile manager stuff. Just dig in the settings and fiddle around with it. I think the phone is still new so no one has a clear answer yet.

Question OOS 12 Notification Problems

Hello Guys,
I have Problems with my Notification. I don't get Notification for 80% of the Apps. If I go into the App, the Notifications appear. After I reboot my Phone, all Apps spam all recent Notifications and it works for 1-2 Days. After that I have to reboot my Phone again, otherwise I don't get the notifications anymore till I open the App.
I recognized that If I get Notifications I see them normally in the Lock screen. If I unlock the phone but don't open any App I don't see any Notification on the Lockscreen anymore. I have to unlock my phone and swipe down to see all the Notifications. Is this Android 12 related or a real issue?
Thanks for feedback!
Your the first one who complains about it and i even have auto launch off from every app background activity off and recent task lock removed and still i can't get rid of those notifications but at them moment for notifications on your lockscreen you can now set it up per app at app info NOTIFICATIONS maybe you didn't see that

Yes, sadly been thinking about converting to NA firmware to see if it makes any difference in some of the bugs I've been seeing with OP's TMO firmware. Also the faster updates/no TMO bloatware are a plus.
