Hello! Just got the unlock version a couple days ago and I am using lightning launcher; it is awesome. My issue is with call and text notifications, how do I make the fire phone display that I have a new call/text or missed a call on the status bar. This is really frustrating, hope someone can help me.
I don't think this is possible without replacing the systemui file. The only other option would be to use omega status bar, or super status bar, which are basically status bar overlays.
So I did install omega status bar but it still wont show call or text notifications in the status bar. Can you tell me how to set it up? Even the app icon itself is not even showing that I have recieved a call or text.
I think you will benefit from reading the tips and tricks thread that's created. Member jondecker76 and myself branch out on a lot of helpful tips to use this as a daily device.

Problem - Notifications - The notification bar doesn't keep a log of icons of notifications. For example, if I get a KIK message it drops down, previews it, and vanished. Unless I open up the notification panel there is nothing to remind you of this. This bothers me as I often don't review them straight away and forget it even happened.
Solution- Notifications - I've toggled all the options regarding notifications in the settings. My original complaint still exists. This was a HUGE set back for me with this device. Luckily, with a lot of trial and error, I found an app that works well for me. It's call NotifierPro Free. I configured it so a bar drops down and stays under the status bar. I also configured it so these notifications remain until I swipe them away. This has been a HUGE help in allowing me to adapt to this device.

Running into the same issue, have you found a work around? I know this thread is old, hopefully the original poster will reply or someone else.

I have the Note 8 on Verizon. Last week I received a software update to Oreo. Shows on phone as N950USQU3CRC2.
Excuse my terminology if I call something the wrong thing. I will attempt to be as detailed as possible.
I have several apps that put information into the status bar. This is what I call the bar at the top of the phone with the time and battery indicator, etc. I do not have a screen stand by, or lock or anything else. I push the button on the right to cut the screen on and off. All power saving features that I am aware of have been disabled.
Since the software update, some of information that used to stay permanently (persistent notification?) in the status bar would seem to be missing. When I pull down on the status bar to see all the notifications, I see the missing information, but now it seems to be minimized (compacted?). It has down arrows that I have to press to expand the information, then I actually have to open the app to get the information to go back to the status bar. After a short time the notifications disappear from the status bar again and I have to slide it down, expand with the arrow, open the app, etc. over and over.
It is very frustrating to have to do this all day long. Am I missing something? Is there a way to turn this minimization (compacting?) off so that all status bar info shows in the status bar all the time?
Hi I had this problem with one of my apps on Oreo. Go to Settings...Display....Status Bar. Make sure where it says show only 3 recent notifications is turned off. That should should hopefully help
Lrivera76, thanks for your reply. I checked where you referenced and it is turned off already. Interestingly enough, since about noon today, the three notifications I have been fighting with for the past few days have been staying on the status bar. The others that I do not care so much about are still staying minimized or compacted and I have to slide the notifications down to see them, but I do not really care if I see them or not. I began to wonder if the OS had some way of learning that I wanted these 3 left at the top because I kept reopening them over and over? I don't know. I wish there was an obvious way to just turn the minimizing thing off. We can already turn off a notification if we do not want it. What would be the purpose of leaving it on, but not see it. I don't get it.

I use the Navbar app and now with Oreo it stays on my pull-down menu as well. That didn't happen on Nouget. If you haven't tried, clear your cache partition and restart your phone. I was at the point where I was going to do a factory reset due to my battery not lasting the way it did but basically checking all my settings, notifications, displays, etc turning off things that where on when they weren't before saved me from having to do it. Give it a couple of days for the OS to settle if not you can do a factory reset to see if it gets rid of any issues.
Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have just got the note 10 plus 5g. Since getting this I cannot get the whatsapp notification in my status bar. I can get sound, vibration, edge lighting and peeking message. If I miss these then I have no way of knowing I have a message until I open the app. Why can I not get the icon in the status bar where all my other apps notifications show up? Any help would be appreciated. The phone is now on android 10 and pop ups are no longer an option. Not that I want them anyway. Thanks
check notifications in Settings, you might have blocked notifications for WhatsApp by mistake

SOLVED:
In the whatsapp settings which had transferred from my previous phone, the led light notification was set to white. With the note 10 plus not having an led light this was clearly causing some issue. On changing the led light setting to none, the notification now shows on the status bar and badge count.
Hi guys
i'm at my first experience with a Pixel smartphone and and i have a problem with notifications. I copy to you what i have written on Google support Forum (i haven't received answer from anyone...) and i hope that you can help me...because i going crazy:
Hi guys, after the update to android 10 i have notification problems. Very often the notifications are reported with sound and vibration but when i wake up the phone i can't see the notification on the lockscreen and there is also no notification in the status bar at the top. I can see the notification only with the scroll down of the status bar. I've noticed that if you go in the notification menù and enable or disable "allow notification indicators", the notification symbol will magically appear in the status bar.
I've tried to send a feedback, through the appropriate item in the menu, but i haven't receive answer...
Note: I installed the January patches but nothing has changed
i've tried to change all the notification settings and i've tried also a factory reset but without success (for two days, after the factory reset the Pixel haven't lost a single notification but yesterday the problems was reappeared).
I hope a lot in a your help guys
P.S: i ask sorry to all for my bad english

I have this issue only with WhatsApp and not all the time. Occasionally I receive a message and my phone makes the sound as well as vibrates however nothing appears on the status bar or on the lock screen. I see the notification dot on the WhatsApp icon itself and if I open the app, it shows there's a new message. All other apps are working absolutely fine so I thought it's just a bug with WhatsApp.

Hi matekaneve and thanks a lot for have answered to me
So do you think that is only a problem with WhatsApp?
I've tried to install also the newer beta versions of WhatsApp but the bug, always in random way, continue to appear...
But i'm really happy if the cause of the bug is only WhatsApp and not the Pixel 2 XL
Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly

UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...
I've just noticed while in call that the call Timer that's usually in the status bar next to the clock covering up notifications has gone! I've now got a floating button that you can expand as seen in the screen shot, never had this before. I had a notification saying the phone was displaying over the top of apps and allowed me to toggle it off, I did this but the clock timer never reappeared back in the status bar (maybe because I was still in the call)
I prefer it this way, I have seen other post complaining about the call Timer covering up notifications. Google must be listening.
Fyi, I'm in the Beta programme for the phone app.
Anybody else notice this?
Edit: rebooted my phone and made another call the timer is back... I'm confused now...
