Google Pixel 2 XL Notification problems - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

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 menĂ¹ 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

Notification problem: tap on new mail doesn't do anything

Hi,
I've noticed that when I get new mail, I get the little mail icon at the top of the screen. I tap and get the notification manager. When I tap on the new mail item, nothing happens. It's just an annoyance because normally I wouldn't bother and just go straight to the inbox, but jas anyone else come across and know of a solution please?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi there,
Just wanting to check in to see if anyone is having this problem.
To recap, when I tap on the notification area and get the list of notifications, if I tap on ANY notification (whether mail, SMS or reminder) nothing happens. All I can do is exit from the notification manager or dismiss all.
Anyone else seeing this please?
Thanks,
Pete
thats how it is with the stock rom im pretty sure...if you download something called the "topaz notification" it will enable you to do what ur trying to plus go directly to more specific settings directly from the notification manager...i used it on stock verizon...try it out...hit the thanks if it works
Thanks, I'll have a search and try it out

Notification problem - alarms as well
I have a similar issue - if I have an Alarm reminder and go to the Notification Screen, I can't select it - all I can do is dismiss it (actually dismiss all) and I can't see what the reminder was....any ideas out there?
same problem
I have the same problem and will be very gratefull if someone has a solution.
Also had that problem. I just figured it was caused by one of the programs I had installed. After removing several programs and resetting the device to default status, I still had the problem. So I decided it was time for a hard reset. That solved my problem. Drastic solution I admit, but it fixed the problem
I have the same problem with new messages and missed calls.
They wont be shown when I tap on it on the notification manager...
Just pinging this thread again to see if anyone might have ideas how to resolve this without a hard reset...

SMS Notification mixed up!!!! Strange icon in notifications

Hey guys i noticed 2 days ago that when i receive an sms i get two notifications (previously i had only one). The first one says that i have # new messages and when you click on it it takes you to the messages app where you see all the threads you have. And the second notification is the default one which has the sender and a preview of the sms message.
I didn't find the first notification anywhere neither in the guide or online but i only want the default notification with the sender and the preview...
In addition even if you click on the first notification it stays there but it says no new messages!!!
How do i disable this ???
edit: i uploaded screenshots that show this notification
edit2: i even disabled the notifications in the messages app and i don't get the sms preview notification but this one still comes up!!!
ok please a mod close this thread......it was from the beautifull widgets 2...i didn't have the sms widget on my home screens but it still was getting notifications.UNINSTALLED and everything ok
No No No - Dont close this
This has annoyed me for 4 days now and if this fixes it, then it needs to be left there....
Testing to see if it works now.......
Yup it works, Uninstalled the same app and we have lift off..
Thank you. this has dont my nut in all weekend.....
I have also had this problem for the last few days, but didn't connect Beautiful Widgets with it. Problem solved when BW uninstalled.

[Q] notification reappear until the message is read

Hi All,
I've an S4 mini with stock rom 4.2.2 without any special app to manage notification
Since the first day of usage I'm very disappointed on how the phone manage the notification
Example, If I receive an useless msg from whatsapp I want to delete the notification permanently without read the messagge
So I swipe down the get the notification panel and I press delete button or I swipe right the whatsapp notification
The notification disappear but few hours later the notification is still present
I don't like this friendly unsless reminder!
It's me, the phone or android wrong?
Thanks you a lot
Stefano

its from the app not the phone mate ... if you have Facebook messenger you will see if you dismiss the message it wont reappear
that's a pain, the notification behaviour it's managed by the app not by the os!
that's mean that I haven't control how how the notification are manged
There is any app to give more control to the user? anyway to fix without root?
Thanks you?

[Q] notification bar question

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.

Whatsapp Notifications

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.
