As long as Facebook isn't blocked in Android wear and you're receiving notifications on your phone, then you should be getting them on your watch. Your watch is really just mirroring your notifications from your phone. Now I don't know if you'll be able to do anything with the notification, but you should definitely be getting the notification at least.

[Q] viber and facebook problem

Some time ago my 360 doesn't vibrate anymore, when I get a Viber or FB message, it only displays the message. In the phone apps the vibrate is turned on. Does anyone have the same problem ?
You mean Viber used to work on the Moto 360? It doesn't vibrate on mine... but it shows the message.

Same here! it does show notification on 360 but no vibration! I will try to fix this now with universal medicine, such as one I fixed google now reminders! Clear viber cache and delete all old messages!
if you use Facebook Messenger, chat heads somehow stops the watch vibrating.
If you turn it off, your watch will vibrate on every FB messenger message.
I don't use Viber so can't help you there.
Thanx, I'll try that with FB. Maybe you are right about Viber, and it only worked on my previous Gear Fit.
My Watch Notifier App
Hello,
I had exactly the same problem with the Viber messages
I wrote to Viber to ask them to update their notification which I think is 2 line of code and they answered me:
"This feature is not currently available. We are always happy to receive new feature ideas and requests from our users.
We will take your feedback into consideration as we work towards improving our services and enhancing your Viber experience!"
Ok, I knew that the feature is not available. But it is also just 2 lines of code ... common ...
This was the reason why I created my own app that simply gets all the notifications and you could select for which of them to send a message to the Watch to Vibrate.
Here is the link on the playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newlinetechnology.wearvibrationapp
I'm using it on my Moto 360 for about 2 weeks and I don't have any issues. So if you want you could give it a try and let me know if you have any comments.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Yanislav
Hey @flymanj if we give notification access to android wear too, will we receive the notifications twice or just once?

The notification will be received just once. I'm not showing a new notification as the Android wear handles it pretty well, but just makes the device vibrate
Kind Regards

Lollipop issues

notifications DOESN'T WORK on 3rd party watch faces(not even the vibration) have you noticed that bug too?
EDIT: it seems no one notification is sent on the watch... WTF?
I'm getting notes from yahoo email just fine:good:Which face are you using?
Got notifications like I always did.
Using Specialized right now.
Check to see if you accidentally turned notifications off on the watch.

Yup notifications for me no longer work at all ......
Maybe is related to whatsapp? When the watch is on a 3rd party watch faces like shadow clock, ustwo and it is locked on transflective screen mode, I didn't get the visual card notification on the screen. Erased the data and Chace and now 1st party watch faces works but the unofficial ones, didn't notify me with cards (now only vibration works). I received only whatsapp messages so, maybe it's whatsapp.
EDIT: not even Google now cards works.
So I unpaired ..reset watch completely and then notifications started happening ..Odd but I am back in business
Have you noticed disconnection/reconnection problems ?
If my SW3 it out of my phone's bluetooth aera, it's automatically disconnected.
When i'm back close to my phone, reconnection isn't always automatic.
Android Wear on my phone is in status "connecting".... but won't connect to the SW3.
I must go in Android Wear, choose disconnect... then connect.
Is there :
- a widget for Android showing the connexion status between SW3 and phone ?
- A widget for switching connection to easily disconnect/reconnect

Make sure your android wear app is up to date
Not find this issue so far. Notifications are always arrived at watch before I noticed them
I am having trouble only with notifications from Facebook Messenger, which do not work on any watchface.
All other notifications from Whatsapp, hangouts, gmail work anytime.
Was this issue fixed?

no notifications but watch is connected

Since the latest Android Wear update a few days ago, my watch appears connected to my Honor 7, but I don't receive notifications anymore.
I can change the watchface from the phone, i can find the phone from the watch, so there is communication.
If I disconnect the watch, delete android wear from the phone, restart and do a new connect with the watch, it works again, i receive all notifications again. Until, I shut down the watch or restart the phone, then nothing again.
Resyncing apps via Android Wear on the phone does not help. Any clues?
Honor 7 with MM6.01 (b371) and M1D63M on watch.

Interestingly I am experiencing the exact same at the moment.. Oddly enough it worked just fine yesterday, but not two days ago or today...
Thanks for replying, now at least I know this is not just me.
I am also having the same problem. I need to disconnect and reconnect several times in a day to get notifications. I thought the latest update was just security fix but i think it has messed up the core functionality as well.
for me, even the watch face cannot be changed from phone.
Funny I ignored this thread until it happened to me just today

i'm going crazy....same issue happened to me!!! i'm looking forward to find a solution ASAP!!!
Same is happening to me. I've tried all of the above as well but no success keeping the notifications from disappearing.
Interestingly though, I also have an app installed called Feel the Wear which lets you set different vibrations on the watch for different types of notifications. I only use one custom vibration for hangouts. Whenever I get a hangouts message, I still get the custom vibration on the watch but the message itself doesn't hit the watch.

Well, apparently this is becoming an issue. I don't think Sony is to blame, because it started just after the latest Android Wear update, my watch was working perfectly before that. Anywhere I can download a previous version? Then I will install that version and don't allow it to update for now until Google has fixed the issue........
Just this morning I received an update OTA on my watch to version M1D63X, but unfortunately no changes to the notification problem........
Just connected again with my z1 compact, works well, everything fine with the notifications. Therefore it must be something to do with the honor 7 or with mm6, because my z1 compact runs on lp5.1
Same on my watch + Xperia Z3 Compact. There must be some problems with Android Wear app, many of my friends have the same problem. Notifications work after reconnecting but not for a very long time.
Also incoming mails are notified a couple of times in a row for some time, f.e. I get banggood offers mail which is notified on the phone and on the watch, then in the next 5 minutes there goes another notification about the same mail, and again, and again... until I dismiss that notification. Drives me crazy so I just immediately swipe e-mail notification when it arrives (I don't want to block the app).
Hoping for a quick fix...
Every time this problem occurs I simply restart the watch and phone at the same time. Fixed the problem every time. Restarting the watch alone does not help.
Also can confirm that the watch indeed is connected to the phone, no notifications go through to the watch. Had a song successfully identified by Shazam on the watch while the problem was present...
After yesterday upgrade my OnePlus X to android 6.0.1 - Sony SW3 stops receiving notifications. There is info at android wear app, that synchronization was shut down and i have to restart phone to resolve that problem. After restart it works for some time and then the same problem. I think that some program is shutting down by android but i dont know where i can find it, and what it is. Anybody? App that sends notifications to watch?
Same with me. I only get the notification by the app Feel the Wear and having custom vibrations on Gmail, Whatsap and Facebook. But no notification on the watch itself. Also since the last 2 updates.
Since flashing a Nougat rom on my Nexus 6, I have been receiving all notifications on the watch. It's only been a few days but so far so good. Still not a fix for anyone stuck on MM but try flashing Nougat on your phone if you have the option.
Edit: I flashed a couple of different Nougat roms which requires two separate factory resets of the watch. not sure if that had anything to do with notifications coming through.

Passing Notifications to Smart Watch

I'm having problems getting the P2XL to pass notifications to my Huawei watch.
Phone calls are no problem, phone battery display, weather, steps etc all work fine.
I just don't get message notifications. I've tried using the stock app and Textra but neither works.
Facebook Messenger even works...
edit: I just noticed I also don't get notifications from GMail app.
I've gone in and disabled battery optimisation for Android Wear, allowed every imaginable notification permission but it still won't pass message notifications.
My old Pixel XL was great for this. It worked absolutely every time.

Similar boat here. Moto 360 v2. I use an app called Feel The Wear to give me a long vibration for texts which I get but no message on my watch. Not sure about Gmail notifications but don't remember getting a buzz or card on my watch.

probably not much help but i have a garmin fenix 3 hr and i get all notifications just fine.
could it be a permissions issue? i was prompted to give permissions when i connected the watch the first time.
I had the same issue with my Huawei watch. I had to forget the watch in the phone Bluetooth, clear app data on android wear, uninstall android wear, then re-install android wear and use it to set the watch up again. I did not have to reset the watch. After that notifications worked.

I was prompted for permission when I connected first time too, but... that was before the watch upgraded to Android 2.5
Count me in. I have the Pixel 2 XL and the Moto 360 gen 2. All was working fine except I would stop getting notifications randomly, but rebooting the watch would fix it (even though I turn the watch off most nights until I need to charge it, so it was being rebooted normally already).
Now the last 3 days no notifications. Reboots don't help at all.
When this happens, like the original post said, the watch is still connected, I get battery stats, it shows when audio plays, shows incoming phones calls, just no app notifications like text or gmail.
The only thing left to do is disconnect and reset. I'm still on the Sep 5th security update. I have the Nov security update notification, maybe I'll do that today and see if it helps at all.
By any chance have you NOT downloaded the actual app on your watch? I thought I had a problem too, with Feel the Wear, but then realized I hadn't downloaded the Feel the Wear app on my watch. As soon as I did, everything worked. This is with Android Wear 2 on a moto 360 sport.

I have a Samsung Gear S3 and it works perfect as well.
Make sure Android messages is installed on ur watch,this application is related to some of the missing notifications.

GT2Pro - clearing notification on the watch does not clear notification on the phone

So. Finally decided to move away from a Casio hand watch and MiBand 4 to Huawei Watch GT2Pro.
This wasn't an easy decision as I know Huawei's LiteOS isn't android GearOS but from all the list of pros and cons, I think it wasn't such a bad decision.
Of course the Russian Internet trolls will constantly throw the same topics about Huawei's watch in the comments in social media that "No NFC?!" and "Can't install apps! Samsung is the best" but I have just realised that I just don't really need it.
It is always a case of ticking off the boxes when buying something that has a long list of requirements.
But. Anyway.
As in the topic. There is only one thing which does really bother me.
When a text message (or What's App message) arrives to my phone (Huawei P20Pro) I do get the notification on the phone and the notification on my watch.
If I will clear the notification on the Huawei Watch GT2 Pro, the notification about new text message will still remain "unread" on my phone.
And sadly, I can't get over it and can accept that it works this way.
Can anyone recommend anything to fix it?
I do understand that so far this is how this works out of the box, but I am hoping that there might be an additional app (like Miband tools for MiBand) or at least any contact to Huawei to raise it as a concern/complain?
I have tried speaking to Huawei UK customer service but sadly, they are just the customer service for distribution and the only thing that was offered to me was an opportunity to return the watch.
I have also tried to find any info about HarmonyOS 2.0 and if it would actually be coming live any time soon, but this topic seems to be:
a) dead
b) delayed to the point that any news are just YT oriented views-focused sh** videos
c) nowhere an info to confirm for sure that this system would be available for GT2Pro
anyone may help?
Even to help where to send an email for Huawei to even "consider" that this is really essential for the watch to be "almost perfect"?
No action on notifications from Huawei Watch. Huawei just display the notification when arrive on phone. Even if you delete this notification on your phone this stay on your watch. (and of course if you delete from the watch they stay on phone) You must delete 2 times
On Amazfit watch the notification on watch match the phone notification and if you delete on watch they are also delete on phone (but just delete, no read mark )
I own a GT2 Pro since yesterday and thats what is annoying me also. Could you find out any solution?
Otherwise I'm thinking of returning the watch. I really like the watch, but the notification issue is annoying
Got mine today. The notification thingy is the only prob that bugs me. Other than that I am ready to retire my old Ticwatch Pro. Hope the promised os update from liteos to harmonyos fixes this problem. Other than that, a beautiful watch with great battery life!
Hope that after the launch of hw3, the harmony update for gt series rolls out soon!
HUAWEI Watch 3 with Harmony OS set to launch on June 2
The HUAWEI Watch 3 is set to launch alongside Harmony OS on June 2. The flagship smartwatch could bring eSIM support and a long battery life.

Notification management is not good enough on Huawei watches. HarmonyOS is even less finished OS.
notification won't light up the screen
notification dismissed from the watch won't be dismissed from the phone and vice versa
notifications don't have the specific app icons except few
can't reply to notifications with custom text except few messengers on Watch3
calls from messengers won't get a notification or popup screen at all
some notifications come twice
so a year later there is nothing new.

yeah this is valid for both GT2, GT3 and Watch3. I look at all the changelogs. Given the fact that Watch3 is pretty dumb, i wanted to downgrade to GT2Pro. But GT2 has one more issue: cannot display emojis.
