From what I understand google has completely removed the Notifications Listener Service for Android TV instead of simply disabling it by default with an option to enable it.
Does anyone know how to get native app notifications back other than using the Notifications for Android TV app that simply transfers notifications from your phone the Shield?
Thanks

I'm running CM 6.1 Stable. I have two apps installed that I have configured to provide me with background notifications: reddit is fun and Foursquare. Reddit is supposed to check for new messages hourly and Foursquare us supposed to check for friend updates every 10 minutes. Neither app is functioning in this regard.
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Is there by chance some setting that prevents 3rd party background notifications from working that I may have enabled by accident? Gmail notifications are still working.
I checked my system log for errors or anything unusual while enabling or disabling the Foursquare notification feature and there was nothing that I could see.
Do apps need to have a service running to provide this sort if functionality, or can the Android system simply let apps schedule periodic tasks? I ask because I don't see any services running for these two apps, and if they are required, that would be a problem.
try moving it back to ur phone not ur sdcard......

Hey all,
I'm currently having issues with a few apps where the notifications don't appear :S
I've contacted the app support, They don't know.
I've contacted Google support, They don't know.
My question is: Have I messed something up internally? I've tried using returning to Stock completely(Both 4.3.* and 4.4)(No custom recovery etc) using Wugfresh, So that rules out the Custom ROM causing problems(I think).
Apps I've noticed missing notifications: Hay Day(Game, VERY new to my account - Only been playing for a few days), ON Air TV Guide(These just randomly stopped coming through to me).
I don't use any sort of task killer, I've tried leaving the applications in my Recent menu.
They are enabled in the App settings to receive Notifications.
I'm out of ideas and Google support didn't help.
Anyone know of this problem or a fix?
Regards,
J93.
Is there a way to disable the Google Now notifications for "travel to" and "weather" that popup on your phone all day long? I never need or want to know how long it is to travel to my home or office. I don't want a weather update either. How can I disable that crap? I tried going to the Android Wear app, then Settings | Block Apps, but there is nothing listed there that corresponds to these annoying notifications.
I think that you would need to go into the Google Now app on your phone and change settings there. That's where those come from.
I have uber cab application on my phone. I have restricted the background application working and disabled the mobile data access in background and this app is still sending notification on my phone. How is this possible? What are these settings for if they are not restricting the apps? It means app is still working in background.

Optimize doesn't mean it will stop bringing notifications in background or doesn't mean it wont work at all in background. The interval for checking the notifications maybe reduced.
Use greenify if you want to completely stop background activities.
If i have restricted the background data access, hows the app sending me notification without internet?
Whenever i do this to other apps like Instagram, i dont receive any notification from that app. Its just uber

The thing with Instagram is weird, background data access has nothing to do with notifications. Notifications are sent from the app server (in this case Uber's) to Google servers and Google in turn send them to you. If you want to stop receiving notifications you can disable them, but not as background data access, what you can do is long press the notification and then press "Turn off notifications" and then you can choose to turn off the channels that you don't want. That should do it.
I dont wanna sound rude but thats not what i asked. How can uber send the data to Google in the background if it doesn't have access to Internet?

The thing is, Uber doesn't send it from your phone to Google, it sends it from their server which is most likely on the cloud (AWS, Google Cloud or any other) directly to Google, so you can disable background data all you want, but that won't stop them from sending you notifications until you disable the notification itself.
When you said that you "have restricted the background application working and disabled the mobile data access in background" the only thing you did is stopping the app from doing any work when it is not open but only ON YOUR PHONE, the Uber server and services are still running and they will keep sending notifications to all their clients.
When you restrict an app what the system does is to permit activity for that app only when in use or at system wakeups (app standby)
But if you use that app frequently, then the system tags it at different levels (active, frequent, no frequent...). Regarding the tag, more or less often it will sync during programmed system intervals.

Uber could be using firebase clouding, wich is a server-client service to send notifications to clients (app installed).
If you do not want NOTHING then you will have to disable the app and only enable when you are going to use it.
I installed the Google Phone app because I like it better, but incoming calls are still being routed through the Samsung phone app, even after I've set the Google Phone app as the default and gave it all permissions.
Is there something else I need to do to get incoming calls to route through the Google Phone app instead of the Samsung one?
I think I got it, I removed the permissions from the Samsung Phone App and I believe calls are incoming through the Google Phone app. I'll keep trying it and will post here again if it stops working.
You have to go into the apps settings, then look for a setting called DEFAULT APPS. Go into that, and then choose phone app, this is where you set the Google Phone app to default....
