Notification light and lockscreen notification I guess. Also you will get a floating notification when the screen is on. I doesn't miss the icons on the status bar at all.

I even turned off status bar icons on my Mi6. Hate clutter.

Oké that's clear thanks!

What rom are you using. I use eu.miui and WhatsApp isn't shown in AOD ,I also use SE

Sorry only read in recention, i have not oneplus

This is a fk'ing stupid design.
MIUI 10 or future updates should allow for notifications to show at the top. We get so many of them per day, it's important to know which ones matter at a glance.

Hi, I just received my Mi 8 a couple days ago. Global version for EU. I do receive notifications from GMail, Messenger, on lock screen... but the regular FB notifications are not being pushed, I have set it the same way as Messenger but no result.
¿Do you know if I need do something extra?

I get double notifications for Threema/Whatsapp

Hi there,
when I lock my Mate S I eventually get notifications from threema and Whatsapp. The Threema notifications are always doubled, the exact same notification and for Whatsapp I get group notification for every single message with the sender and for the group chat with the counter of the messages.
I know from some other posts some of you have also problems like this. Has anybody found a launcher and lockscreen combination to fully disable the stock lockscreen? I currently have the Smart Launcher installed and I love it, but when you activate the lockscreen the stock lockscreen stays on top or beneath it, even when you disable it in the Themes Section of the settings.

Broken notifications on MIUI 10

Hey guys.
I have a weird issue with all apps on the latest MIUI 10 release for the Mi 8 SE.
The problem is that I don't get notifications from a single app when new info in it arrives, be it Email, Whatsapp or XDA Labs.
Only when I actually enter the app do I suddenly get to see all the new messages and missed voice calls, as if the app wasn't even allowed to work in the background.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Setting notifications to Urgent may help you.
have you tried going to settings>battery>app battery saver? still waiting for 140 hours bootloader unlock :/

Yeah, I did but it didn't change anything.
The only solution I could find was to lock the specific apps in the background with the recenta menu.
However, that increased the stand-by drain.
I have to wait for around 250 hours.
In the current Miui 10 beta, the default notification settings for most apps are set to off.
Goto to settings > notifications > app notifications
And you have to turn on individual notification types for every individual app in there. Doesn't fix the lock screen notifications though.

It's all already enabled. I even set the notifications as Important.
I'm not a potato, I know that MIUI is tricky but things that should fix the issue don't seem to work on the latest MIUI 10 build.

No Notification on status bar problem ?

Read from some forum they complain that they facing the problem that wechat/watsapp msg arrive, it only show 2 seconds on the status bar beside the clock then after it vanish .
Current user do u have :
1: watsapp/wechat/facebook no show notification at the top of status bar ?
2: during lock screen, the msg arrive not showing ?
Pls clarify if you facing this problem .. or can change in the setting ?
For me every notifications appear then is hiden by the clock. I can never see if I got some notif by just unlocking my phone.
I have to swipe down the notif bar.
i think its for all, bad design by Xiaomi.
Hope they fix this soon, its was on my mi8 also, but if i remember correctly it was solved/fixed
same for me
I have for 2-3 seconds the notification on the statut bar , and after it's disappear

It's because they most likely copied the OS's base system from POCO and MI8 which have very big notches and almost no space for both clock and notification icons.
But this is no longer the case with MI9 which has a very small notch and enough room for notification, so it's kind of lame from Xiaomi to rush the software and don't take this issue into consideration.
Maybe they will fix it soon with a software update.
Still no fix?

AOD / Screen off clock

I've got a CN version of this phone. I it updated the day after I received it so I think some of the notification issues mentioned before has been resolved... or at least I haven't experienced what some others have described yet.
at the moment I seem to be receiving the notifications as they arrive... but I still miss them because there is no easy way to know the notifications have arrived!!
The AOD / screen off clock is quite useless (at least in the CN ROM) it only shows the clock, missed call and SMS. Thats it. I'm trying notify buddy now, which kind of solves the problem. I say "kind of", because while it does allow me to have an LED notification, it deactivates the finger print sensor until you wake it. And also I seem to be getting large battery drain with it.
AOE doesn't work for me.
Is there anyway to get the screen off clock to show other notifications as well ?
Thanks for anyones help.

I got EU version and have exactly the same problem. ColorOS 6.1
I googled a lot trying to find a way to personalize AOD clock (like Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro) but I couldn't find anything.
I searched also for a method to make it show other notifications but there isn't nothing.
Maybebe someone else found something?
Unfortunately I think the situation won't change too much with Android 10.

Actually it will. Android 10/reame ui brings new AOD with notification and customizations.
Have look here at 3:48

I'm afraid he said nothing about app notifications on AOD. Although, there is a notification switch in Screen-Off Display settings, so maybe there is a chance
Its really annoying that they made a phone without useful AOD notifications AND without an LED for notifications.. having to turn on the screen to check for notifications is inconvenient and probably uses more battery.
really hope the next update sorts this out.
on a side note, notifybuddy does solve kinda solve this problem.. but its not an elegant solution.
major battery drain and the finger print sensor is blocked by the notifybuddy overlay..
I'm planning to buy the X2 pro and had the same question. Does the phone allow to see new app notification preview on screen off display (AOD)... and not just the app icon?
Currently I am using the mia1 and I am able to see new app notification flashes in Ambient mode... without waking the phone.
Thanks in advance.

The screen edge flashes for a couple of seconds when you recieve something, though you can't know which app it is if you have multiple notifications. No preview as far as I've noticed.

Thanks. Sad to know that even an app icon doesn't show up on a screen off display If they want to move closer to stock Android these are some of the features they should have. Oxygen atleast has paid heed to this concern by releasing beta versions for op7 and op7t.
Personalising the screen off clocks doesn't help me much. I'd rather do away with the clock and mantra and get the msg preview feature in.
Thanks

Ah no, that's not what I mean. You get the icon, but it doesn't show the message or blink the icon (so if you have multiple icons, you don't know which is the current notification).

Question Minimised notifications in MIUI 12.5?

Hi there. Just a quick question for anyone who has 12.5 or higher installed. Is there now a way of minimising (without removing) persistent notifications? Coming from a Galaxy Note 8 I really miss this feature since I have like six or seven apps running in the background with persistent notifications. On the Note 8, minimising the notifications makes them take up less space in the notification drop down and hides their icons from the status bar too.
any solution?
