My android notifications randomly stop working, companion app works fine when notifications don't work. What could be the problem or how can I diagnose it?
Don't know if this is related but some months ago my notifications would keep alerting me until I stopped them, now they only alert me once. The problems might have started since then but I am not sure.

what do you mean stop working? are you getting an eror sendng them? is the app recieving them and not posting them?
wind crescent
no error, they just do not work, i have no clue if the app receives them or how to even check that, however i do know the app works fine.
timid marsh
check HA core, any errors there when you send?
wind crescent
no errors in the home asssitant core logs after sending notification (and notification did not reach phone)
timid marsh
ok now hceck the app....Settings > companion app > notification history.....do you see them there?
wind crescent
or at least phone did not show a notification, to be accurate
timid marsh
thats what the history can confirm
if you see them there, then go back one screen and edit the notification channels, you probably turned it off
wind crescent
yep i see, this will already help me at least fogure out what is going on, i restarted the app and they work now, but this does not always work
no they are not turned off, they literally work sometimes and sometimes not

it's very weird since sometimes i don't get notifications, and then i open the companion app which works fine
and i THINK this whole mess started when the notifications stopped being persistant, if that is the right term, they used to just keep ringing until i stopped them on the phone.
before that it worked flawlessly for months
timid marsh
oh yea that broke sometme ago thanks to google
you wont hear a ping but the notification should still show up
make sure the app has background access as that can interfere with showng the notification too
wind crescent
i can still hear it, but only once, which is not the end of the world, i did find one setting that might be related, i'll have to wait and see if they stop working again
