I love my new Pixel 2 XL but despite my best efforts to identify what app or system service was sending repeated (and annoying) default notification sounds but not showing any other message or indication, I finally hit on a solution that seems to work.
SET THE DEFAULT NOTIFICATION SOUND TO "NONE"
settings>sound>advanced>default notification sound
Then set the notification sounds to whatever you want for each app you actually care to hear from.

I have noticed this as well.
<notification sound> no new text or email...
For me, it's just easier to ignore the errant tone once in a while than to set notifications for individual apps (cause I'm totally lazy like that).
But THAT is the beauty of Android... to each their own and there are always multiple ways to skin that cat
Use a notification log
I had this same issue. Turned out to be an app I had disabled pop ups for.
I have a (potentially) better solution. Add a notification log widget to find the culprit:
1. Long press on home screen and go to widgets.
2. Drag the settings widget to the home screen.
3. In the list of options, choose Notifications
Now you can see a log of your notifications. Next time you get the sound but no pop up, go into the log and find the offender at the top of the list.
For me it was a game I didn't need so I deleted it, but you can remedy the problem as you see fit.

Glad you found it! Sorry I just saw this. I forget where I learned about this, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm glad I could pass it on to someone else, I'm sure it could be plenty useful.
I'm having the same issue but it's not even showing in the notification log. Makes me want to throw it out the window to be honest. There's time where it will go off every 30 seconds. Off to reset I guess and see if that works.
same thing here pixel 2 oreo 8.1 notification sound...no thing new in the "hot list" or email or message
very weird, and randomly at night too which is the suck
2019 and no change
Hello, same issue still persists in 2019. Every few weeks i must dump the default sound as it sets it self up again.
Still no idea why it does it, just a temp bandaid to curb the annoyance. I notice a slightly higher battery drain too, tells me something is running

Sounds like a re-install is in order...if you have an unlocked bootloader, when was the last time you've done an update via Full Factory image? I'd imagine all that might be sorted out by reinstall/updating; with the "-w" removed of course...
I hope you consider it, and I hope this helps...

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
At first I thought I was the only one suffering from this annoyance, but then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgvTFu6UKJI
See, the problem is that whenever I send or receive a message, this icon pops up. At first I thought I was delusional, but then it repeatedly became clear that this was truly a bug. I managed to get a screenshot of it (which was really difficult considering that it only pops up for about half a second). I want to know if I anyone else has had this issue, and whether or not someone found a workaround from it popping up. Anyone at all?
Are you using Hangouts?
Nope! Stock everything, and unrooted. Using the HTC messaging app

Probably Carrier IQ for some reason tracking your location. My LG G2 does the same thing.

This bothered me as well, but I have since gotten rid of it. Granted that you're rooted, you can download an Xposed module called NotifyClean. It listens for "notifications" in the status bar, and you have the option to disable them. Download/install/activate the module, turn on the listening feature, and send a message. When you go back into NotifyClean, you'll see "Data Usage". Select that, then select "Data usage is running". It should highlight the selection in red, and ultimately get rid of the little annoying icon that shows up for a split second.
It seems that I'm not the only one having an issue. Well hopefully there's a better work around for this because I don't plan rooting my phone for a long time! Flashing roms and tweaks could be addicting haha! Hopefully someone finds a better fix to hide this annoying notification!

Yeah, take it from someone that flashed a ROM today and every mod/tweak I could find... it gets addicting. I spent 8 hours at my computer today going over various mods and personalizing my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to help with your issue that doesn't involve root. If you know what is causing the notification then you may be able to go into settings>apps>all and disable the offender?

I managed to get a screenshot, and I checked what app was causing it but it was a system app called "Data Usage". Anyone know how to turn off data usage notifications? Turning off data usage alert doesn't help
This is normal behavior. While it shouldn't be popping up, its normal as in that it is what is done when a SMS/MMS is sent while on WiFi.
You can locate the app through Application Manager and tap it to Disable Notifications. This doesnt require root or anything.
Taking shots in the dark here, but there is a data usage section under wireless & networks in settings. In that menu there is a toggle for 'alert me about data usage'. You can then drag a slider up and down to set the cap for when your phone warns you about data usage. Maybe yours is dragged to the very bottom so it alerts you about any data usage?
Unlikely because it would show up during everything, but worth asking. Maybe just disabling the notification toggle would work. Also, does your carrier ship with specific software to monitor data usage? If so then check all of those apps settings to see if anything has any effect.
It doesn't matter whether or not the wifi is on, it still annoyingly pops up. I meant that you really can't disable notifications as it is a system app

I read its some type of traffic usage. Someone here posted a picture of it here. Also I have an option on the ROM I'm running to hide that notification. O don't think its carrier IQ but then again.
I have noticed any of the apps that supports pop-up notification doesn't work? I'm pretty sure it's because of the notch being in the way.
Mine comes and goes. It's very frustrating!
I've experienced this a few times. A reboot fixed it. I read somewhere that someone said they stopped working after using the Pixel Stand. I haven't tested that to verify.
Mine come and go as well. The first time they stopped working, I checked Messages, and it somehow turned itself off (it was definitely on). Flipped it back on, and it worked for a few hours. Rebooted my phone yesterday and it's been working. I'm hoping for a lot of fixes in the November update...
I don't know if this is your issue or not but I found it yesterday on the interwebs.
Search settings for custom then select custom restrictions.
In here I had a check next to "Don't pop notifications on screen" when the screen is on.
I unchecked it and now I get heads up notifications on the applications that I turned them on for.

1) Go to Notification Access

You should be able to see pop up notifications now

It's definitely the pixel stand. Every time I take my phone off I have to reboot for notification previews to start working again. I set this, hopefully it works. Any caveats?

I have not yet tested the notifications when placing the Pixel 3 on the Pixel Stand so have not seen any caveats. But just see this as a temporary fix until Google releases the patch for the ambient notification bug. Hope it helped.

Didn't work. Unchecked this yesterday, took my phone off the stand this morning, no previews or popups... They really need to update their app. This is stupid. I have to reboot my phone every day...
Hi everybody,
I'm running the Android 11 public beta and to be honest I've been doing so pretty much since I bought the 3a XL, so I can't remember if this was an issue beforehand. I am having absolutely no issues elsewhere.
Basically when a text, WhatsApp, Gmail or anything like that comes through I get the sound but the screen doesn't light up.
I don't have AoD activated (can't stand using them) but I do have the toggle for lighting up for new notifications activated. I have no power saving modes or do not disturb settings switched on and all notification settings for my apps seem to be fine. I don't want to reset my phone and start all over again as I really can't be bothered just for this one thing, and it would also use up my last slot with YouTube Premium so I'd have to call them to clear my device list again.
Please can someone think what might be happening here. Is this a bug with 11? Or can anyone think of anything else to try.
Many thanks
Maybe check lockscreen settings and see if you're not allowing the notifications there.

Show all notifications etc are on. When I tap the screen the notification is there so it's not hiding it or anything - it just doesn't light the screen up.
Double check all settings in Display > Lock screen display. I think all the action is there. I'm sorry if this is menial or redundant. Just offering up ideas, it could be a bug but I can't verify it since I'm not on 11.

Yeah sadly I've been through all the settings and I really can't find anything that would be causing this. I thought maybe it could even be a faulty proximity sensor or something but that's working fine too.
I was hoping that it was a known bug because then at least I know it'll get fixed, although this issue has survived the most recent beta update.

Here's a screenshot of my settings, not sure how much will match with yours but I can't imagine much difference. Either way I get notifications the way you want with these settings. If you don't you might file a bug report.

It's happening on my phone also. Maybe a bug in Android 11
So a friend and I got the 13 Pro for 2 days and we already encountered so many problems, most of them I've been able to fix, but there are two remaining that I can't manage to fix, and not the least.
Firstly, we don't receive push notifications for Gmail. Notifications are enabled for Gmail in phone settings, in the Gmail app, and battery saver is disabled for the app. Everything seems normal. We tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone, clearing data of the app. Nothing works.
Secondly, when sending a voice message on Instagram, the voice waveform is flat. Like there is no sound. But there is actually sound, it just shows like there is not. Not a huge problem in itself but it's quite disturbing when a recording a message, and for the person who receives it.
Also, not really a problem but still deserves an honorable mention, as stated previously, my friend and I have the same phone, (Xiaomi 13 Pro 12/256GB, MIUI 14.0.15, Model 2210132G). His torch light is yellowish, like most of the phones I'd say, while mine is very white and bright. We just don't know why...
Any help would be very appreciated, especially for the Gmail issue which is very problematic
(screenshots attached for more details)
I assume you have granted permissions to Gmail, even though it is not mentioned in the post.
Version of the rom(full name)?.
Yes permissions for notifications were granted to Gmail on the first launch of the app.
The ROM full name is 14.0.15.0(TMBEUXM)

I can't find this rom.
Long press on the Gmail icon/information/permissions :
Allow all (always allow except sms).
That's weird, this is the ROM for Europe I guess, I didn't installed anything else, just updated the the software when prompted on first boot
So I gave all permissions to Gmail.

You indirectly grant the permissions.
Check like this;
Xiaomi settings/app management/installed apps/gmail/authorizations.
Sorry I'm trying my best but the steps you give me don't match with what I see
Here is what I got in the screenshots below (leading to the same page as the screenshot from one of my previous post)
I got Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > Gmail > App permissions
Ok,it's good, it's Gmail that does that (I don't use Gmail).

No screen notification on standby or even screen on?
used you AOD?
Screen on or screen off, no notifications.
Last notifications I received were from about 30 mins ago (screenshot below), phone vibrated, notification showed on wake screen and in the top bar when unlocked.
But if I open the Gmail app, there is an email notifying me your reply at 5:58, for which I didn't receive a push notification...

Effect of notifications/all but none.
If you use AOD/verify that on used theme that notifications is activated.
Gmail notifications are correctly allowed for lock screen, floating notifications and badges.

Ok so this time I got a push notification ! Phone was unlocked, I'll let it locked from now to see if it changes anything next time.
Regarding your reply, I already checked here a few minutes ago while browsing in the settings looking for anything that was disabled while it's shouldn't be... Everything looks good there.
