Like the title say, I'm in trouble getting the notification of any app I install : I disabled vivo.pem as suggested in one other thread and allow notofication per single app (that were turned off before) and last disabled the background battery optimization for those apps.
No luck after all, as nothing show up when I send whatsapp mess e.g.
Any ideas?

I had to use the uninstall command on vivo.pem to get my notifications to work, disable didn't help me on the latest firmware.
Also, check the app permissions, hold down app, info, app permissions.
Turn off (remove permissions if app isn't used)
Single permission settings (turn all on the switches), you can also review permissions
Go back 2 screens and select notifications, select all sliders and then check your desired app notification is going out via priority display.
Finally go to settings, battery, background power consumption management, and change the setting for the app you want to not sleep by choosing high background power usage.
So annoying, I know, too many settings and easy to forget one
Good luck!

Thanks for the time spent in the long answer; however still no notifications on the tested app (whatsaap) with all the reccomended settings.
Is since 2015 I think that I don't have a chinese firmware phone and the things have changed, in fact, before, was enough to install play store and all the notification were received without further settings.

Hey Guys,
i also did every setting as told and my Notification for especially WhatsApp isn't working at all.
Sometimes it does, but then all of a sudden it just refreshes when I open the App itself.
I even put it down in the Bar with the 5 Main Apps, in hope those would be refreshed or kept alive in the Background.
Not sure anyway what you mean with uninstalling vivo.pem.
Suckz kind of, because apart from that it really is a great Phone... aside from Android Auto not working.

You have to plug in phone on computerand run ADB command to uninstall vivo.pem.
Vivo.pem is a system that aggressively shut down apps to save battery power, to much shut downs and notifications stop working.
Check the thread "Origin Os initail review" on here and you will find out how to do it. Takes only 10 minutes

After doing the uninstalling did it stop the issue?
I uninstalled, rather than disabled, their power saving vivo.pem, ensured all my apps had priority permissions for notifications, disabled battery saving, and added them to 'autostart' in their respective permissions, and I get proper notifications for all the social media and messaging apps. The only small glitch come with Google Messages which won't display notifications in system wide dark mode. You can get around that by enabling the 'chat bubbles' option in Google Messages settings as they do work in dark mode.
Notifications are not the only issue , i cannot select Mock gps location app in Developer Mode ...
I press on the app i want to use ,but nothing happend , the app is not selected .
Anyone noticed that too ?
Thanks
There is no need to uninstall vivo.pem, I think. Just some few steps:
1. Go to recent apps and lock it.
2. Settings -> Apps & permissions -> App manager -> WhatsApp -> Permissions -> Single permission settings -> Autostart and Startup enabled.
3. Settings -> Battery -> Background power consumption management -> WhatsApp -> Select high background power usage.
4. Settings -> Battery -> More settings -> Disable Sleep mode.
Works fine for me.
Do you use Whatssup? after the latest OS update it cannot connect to linked devices

Some of this advice is based upon our current understanding of bugs in CM9 and how to best workaround causes of battery drain until the developers are able to fix their causes. If you have suggestions for further improve this guide, please reply.
Power Saving Options
Google Talk is logged in by default.
You probably did not want this? Go into the Talk app, hit Menu button and Sign Out.
Turn off haptic feedback and touch sounds
By default the phone vibrates when you touch menu options or type on the onscreen keyboard. Vibration uses a lot of power. Sounds when you touch the screen also use a little power.
- Settings > Sound > scroll down to System
Dial pad touch tones - many users like it, others turn it off so it is silent when dialing the phone to avoid bothering other people.
Touch sounds - default touch sound is very subtle so many choose to keep it. You can save a little power if you turn it off
Screen lock sound - also subtle, I personally keep it.
Vibrate on touch - strongly recommend to turn this off if you want to maximize battery life.
- Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard > toggles to the right of it
Vibrate on keypress - turn this off to maximize battery.
Alternatively, you can make the vibration much smaller in Advanced settings near the bottom. Keypress vibration duration settings of 5ms is nice. It is a tiny reaction you can feel from pressing an onscreen keyboard button.
Turn off LED Notifications
- Settings > Display > Pulse notification light
Blinking LED notifications are nice. Unfortunately, the Epic CPU is unable to sleep while blinking the LED because it relies on software timers. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you turn off LED notifications entirely if you wish to maximize battery life. As measured by CPU Spy, maximum CPU deep sleep can jump from 65% to over 95% with this option turned off. You can still hear the notification chime and vibration when you have an incoming message.
- Settings > Display > Pulse low battery light
You may also want to turn this off for the same reason. If you do not, the battery will drain even faster when the battery is already low.
Put Wifi to Sleep while phone is sleeping
- Settings > Wifi (touch the icon on the left) > Menu button > Advanced > Keep Wi-fi on during sleep
Strongly recommended to choose Only when plugged in. The behavior of this option is different from Gingerbread. Rather than turning off the wifi, CM9 instead seems to put it into a semi-sleep state. Data is turned off, but it can recover very quickly when needed. If you want Wifi to turn off entirely, Juice Defender Plus or Ultimate edition is capable of controlling Wifi sleep states while the screen is off. It is uncertain if Juice Defender disabled Wifi really uses less power than semi-sleeping Wifi as set by CM9.
No Signal? Use Airplane mode
- Settings > Battery > Cell standby
If your Time without signal is a high percentage, then your phone's radio is using extra power trying to find a cell tower that does not exist. If you are in rural areas with weak or no cell signal, your phone uses significantly more power as it tries to find a cell tower. Enable airplane mode in order to conserve your battery until you return to civilization.
Turn off Facebook Notifications and Background Data
In the Facebook app, hit Menu > Settings. Uncheck Notifications, and it also turns off background data refresh. This allows Facebook to fully close instead of always running in the background draining your battery and using some previous RAM.
If you want Facebook and its background service to die completely, use this procedure.
- Settings > Developer options > Kill app back button > Enable
From now on, when you are done using Facebook, hold down the Back button. This will completely kill Facebook until you run it again.
Turn off Data and Sync when you do not need it.
Different types of users
Why should your phone be busy while the screen is off?
Juice Defender - understanding the benefits and drawbacks
Reduce the number of applications that start automatically.
Apps you install will sometimes (and in most cases) have triggering events to start those applications in the background when certain events are triggered. In most cases, it is safe to disable that app from automatically triggering and instead launch that app when you want it as you normally would. By reducing the starting of applications, I have found that I also save battery because, well, my phone is doing less work and less work equals more battery.
I have seen some apps autostart even though you have disabled autostart events for that app (unclear yet why that's happening). If you find that is the case, and you want to stop it from running, try moving that app to the SD card using a program such as DroidSail along with disabling events. Why? Apps on SD cards at present do not receive the on_boot_complete event. Please note, this may break some functionality such as widgets.
In order to decide what to disable, you need to understand how you will use the app and whether you need it to run in the background. You can use an app such as Autostarts to control the startup on Android (At the writing of this it costs $1.03 USD).
When selecting apps to disable autostarting in Autostarts, stay clear of ones highlighted in Yellow as they are system apps.
- Look for these key events:
After Startup
Connectivity Changed
Other events can also be disabled but remember, by disabling events that start apps, you can be breaking the functionality that the app gives you. For example, disabling ‘after startup’ on an app such as AdAway will render the webserver that runs as part of that application to not run on boot. Be smart, but disable what makes sense.
If something doesn’t work right and you are not sure what you disabled for that app, simply uninstall it and reinstall it.
Stop syncing things that you don’t use regularly.
You can always manually sync them when you need them.
Access the menu here: Menu -> System Settings -> Accounts and Sync
For example, I use Gmail, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, and Google Browser regularly so I let that sync. I disable Google Currents, Google Docs, and Google Chrome Beta because I rarely use them. When I want to use them (once every couple weeks), I start the app and sync them manually.

Here it seems to do miracles, lots of persistent services that refuse to close (e.g Poweramp in my case) are automatically hibernated with Greenify.
Every day my phone recommends using the stamina mode to extend my battery life. How do i get it to shut up? Disabling the ecocontroller app didn't remove the message.
Long press on the notification, select app info, disable notifications

No, thats grey.
I assume you do not want stamina mode, so try turning it on, but change the setting so it only activates at 1% battery.
That should disable the notification, at least in theory.

Sounds reasonable, good way of thinking..
I had the same annoying problem – but after a long search I was able to find the solution for it:
With the App "Notifications Off" (Free in Google Play Store) notification settings can be set for each app - even for system-Apps (hence root privileges are required for this purpose).
The annoying notifications about "my Xperia" and STAMANIA mode (App "Eco-Mode Controller") can be disabled easily!
I have no power saving settings on like aggressive doze or close high powered apps.
Ill just let my 3T's screen turn off and send an email to my gmail account from my work email. I will not get a notification unless I turn on the screen.
Yes, I have this issue only with Gmail, Oxygen 4.0.2.
Same here.
It happens with WhatsApp as well but I hadn't had time to troubleshoot it.

Gmail/Inbox use normal priority notifications as opposed to high priority, therefore will never bypass Doze. For some odd reason however, selecting Do Not Optimize makes no difference. This issue is not specific to the 3T.
I have noticed this too with whatsapp i can't remember if it started happening on 4.0.2 or when i flashed a different kernel, probably 4.0.2 related
I have exactly the same issue ... mostly with gmail and possibly with other apps like Whatsapp (I need to use my phone more to be sure) but surely and deeply with gmail.
Sometimes I receive push notifications on my OnePlus3T (running OOS 4.0.2 and unrooted) flawlessly, sometimes it takes a delay from one minutes to several, sometimes I need to wake up my phone (with the Jedi move of waving my hand over the proximity sensor) and sometimes I need to open the gmail app and force the update with a slide.
I think I also notice a random delay for the notification even if the screen is on and the phone in use, which seems to exculpate the doze mode but I'm not 100% sure and it is much more rare.
This is really annoying to me as I didn't have this issue with my old Nexus 5 and which I don't have on my work iPhone. I try to convince myself that it is not a big deal but it's not easy ^^.
I tried to contact Google on this but they weren't helpful on that matter.

There a 120 pages post on the OnePlus forum about this issue on the OnePlus 3, even before OOS 4.
Can you tell me where is the "Do Not Optimize" option you're talking about (despite it is not working, strangely) thanks !
if you are ready to sacrifice a little bit of battery life, you can turn off Doze. You would need to do that in 2 places.
1. Settings -> Battery -> Three dots top right -> Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> Turn off
2. Settings -> About Phone -> Keep taping Build Number until phone marks you as a developer -> Go back one screen -> Developer Options -> Doze mode -> Turn off
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip.
I will give it a try but read on the OnePlus forum that it was not really a game changer.
I hope people working on Android know about this "feature" and will correct it soon if it has an impact on all Android N users !
I have that same issue.
Everything was working for me perfectly then all of sudden. Notification for Gmail Google plus and WhatsApp stops working no matter I am on mobile network or WiFi.
It work only when I open the app
I am on RR Rom
The easiest fix I found for my work email (Nine), which wasn't getting timely push notifications... was to just turn off battery optimization for this app. That made it perfect and instant notifications again. Presumably it uses more battery in this mode, but I still need it.

Then in Battery Optimization section, select 'All apps' from the pulldown selector at top.
Then find your app and change it to 'not optimized'

I dont find Gmail in the listed app?
In the Battery Menu/3 dots I don't have a Battery Optimisation Section but 2 settings (with my own translation from French to English, sorry about that) :
- apps hibernation & doze
- greedy application management
In the first option, there's a selector to activate or not the Apps hibernation & aggressive doze --> I disabled the option (and one can choose the app to optimize or not, but gmail is not on the list)
In the second option, I have a selector to allow to shutdown automatically "greedy" apps --> I disabled the option
However, in the Applications menu, while choosing the wheel then the Special Access Menu, there's an option for "Battery Optimisation" in which one can choose - one by one - the Apps that are optimised or not.
Anyway, for me, disabling the Doze mode in the Developper options seems to solve the problem with Gmail but i still have issues with delayed/lost notifications for other Apps (Twitter, Le Monde, ...).
And I'm running 4.0.3

That's weird, I do have Gmail listed in mine. Make sure you set it to show all apps.
Also, I haven't done anything unusual with Gmail, like converted it to a system app, for example. It was flashed as part of Gapps Micro.
FI, just posted a bug report on that issue : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/
I have tried everything I can find in the settings but apps that are excluded from "lock screen cleanup" are still closed.
I have locked them in the recent apps panel, I allow them to use background data, data saver is disabled, but regardless, the apps are always killed by locking the screen. I thought this aggressive battery behavior was supposed to be fixed in EMUI 5.
I am suffering with the same problem on my P10 where background processes are killed after locking the screen despite having set them not to close the app and its service are killed sometimes when the screen locks. Android 7.0 EMUI 5.1 VTR-L29C432B151
Is there any solution for this? - I use a Zoiper for SIP calls and it is being stopped and I am missing calls
Turning off the close option in Lock screen clean up did not make any difference but, I did see in settings -> Battery -> "Settings Gear" an option to 'Close excessively power-intensive apps' and turned it off - but not tested it long enough to see if it fixes the problem.
----- did not work
Yes, same here - missing notification from Ring doorbell, missing updates from Tile and Life360 and Withings watch not synchronising automatically... Annoying behaviour.
Ok, tried something today and so far apps aren't closing - even after a few hours. Open Settings | Apps and click the settings at the bottom. Tap Special Access | Ignore battery optimisation... Select the apps you want to keep alive by switching to "Allowed".
I also have Battery | Lockscreen Cleanup disabled for all apps and the "Close excessively power-intensive apps" option unchecked.

At first I thought it was working, but eventually all the apps that I needed running always were terminated and had to be restarted manually.
This bug is so incredibly annoying, is it by chance fixed in VTR-L29C432B164 - I am getting so fed up with this phone killing services that I rely on to be running all the time - I don't care if they consume more power, I just need them to keep running.
I have the same issue on P10 Lite WAS-LX1AC423B171 this is the latest firmware I could install. Driving me mental!!!!
I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps

If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!
