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.

Hey all,
I'm about to leave the country, and to avoid massive data charges I want to limit my data use as much as possible. In the "Accounts & sync settings" menu there is an option to disable Background Data, but when I do so I get a text box which warns that "Disabling background data extends battery life and lowers data use. Some applications may still use the background data connection.".
So my question is, which applications will still use data in the background? Do I need to go through them all and disable non-wifi data use? Or is it just a specific type of app which will use data in the background?
By the way, not sure if this is significant, but I'm running froyo, using the modaco rom. (So applications can auto update, but I assume disabling background data will at least stop this.)
Thanks!
Background data (to my understanding) is Syncing i.e. gmail, facebook, twitter etc
The best way would be to disable this option and then hold the power button and select "Mobile Network" at the bottom. That completely disables the the mobile data connection.

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......

Hi,
I have updated my P6 to B707 international and since then, I can't get the notifications from any App.
For example, if someone sends me a message via whatsapp or viber, I don't get it, altought I have internet connection and non of my apps are restricted in the notification manager!
So I have to first open whatsapp or viber and then these apps get the messages.
Just imagine, everyday, I have to open my messenger apps like fb messenger, whatsapp, viber, telegram, ... every few minutes to see if someone sent me something!
It's really bothering
P.S. today I updated to B708 and I still have the same problem. :silly:
and sorry to post it here, I wanted to post it on Help & Troubleshooting ...
You need to set those apps to run in the background (Settings > Protected Apps), as well as make them startup at boot (Settings > Startup manager).
That should fix it.
In the pull down shortcuts there is an icon for auto-sync. Make sure it is enabled. I was scratching my head for a while too.
Sent from my P6-U06 using XDA Free mobile app
SOLVED

Anyone else having issue with Facebook notifications?
Every other app works fine - Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn..etc.
I checked my app settings and notification settings within Android and everything seems to be in order. Even re-installed the Facebook app and still no dice.
When I open the app I see I have notifications, however my phone isn't notifying me of anything related to Facebook. I have open the app to see the notifications within the app.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I am on Pixel 2 XL 8.1 stock.
Did you disable background activity for the app?

No, it is active.
Having the same issue. Also there are times the app doesn't recognize that the phone is connected to WiFi. The app continues to update the feed, but the videos won't auto play until I turn off WiFi then back on.
Have you ever cleared the cache and data under the Google Framework Services trying to push the OTA update? It is said that would break GCM things.

I have not, but the problems have been since day 1 of getting the phone. I'll give it a try and see if there is an improvement.
hey have you got a solution to the problem i am facing the same problem
Similar problem with bootleggers on my Redmi note 5 pro
Now that Android 10 allows Location for apps to be set to "Allow Only When App is Active" it seems like a good permission to use to limit the battery drain sometimes associated with Android System from background GPS.
When I try to set the "Google" app and the "Maps" app to this setting I get a warning that it may stop the app from functioning properly.
Does anyone know if its OK to use this setting for those two apps on my S9?
Thanks.

From what I've noticed is if you close out maps. It has to relocate you. As for Google apps I would assume personalised services such as weather and stuff will be inaccurate I may be wrong as I've not tried on Google app but in would assume
