How to prevent an app from deleting and re-creating notification categories? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a Sony XZ Premium with the latest Android 9 software.
Facebook Messenger has really been a pain. Whenever I modify it's notification categories after a couple of hours it deletes the notification category I modified and re-creates it. At the bottom of the screen there's a counter - 245 categories deleted.
Messenger -> App Info -> Notifications
My question is how to prevent it from deleting it. I want to disable Messenger's chat notifications' sound and leave only the green led & chat previews pop-ups. There is no "None" sound in Messenger options and you either disable notifications totally or not and when I choose None in Android Notifications it deletes the chat category and re-creates it with sound picked.

[Q] Automatically clear notifications

I've been google'ing and puzzling for hours to get something like this to work.
Basically the whole idea is:
I'm using MissedIt! and i only want to see these notifications.
I can disable SMS notifications by it's settings, but it automatically disables sound notifications too, which i don't want.
I cannot disable missed call notification by any setting.
I can use Tasker to clear the sms and missed call notifications automatically by simply opening the phone log / sms app and retuning back to the home screen, but then the MissedIt! notifications are ofcourse also gone ;-).
So, basically; i no longer want to see notification texts/icons in the status bar, but i still wanna hear the notification sounds.
When i clear the message from the notification bar, MissedIt! still shows a missed 'event', which i want.
How on earth, are these notifications to be stopped / cleared, automatically!??
Any Tasker idea's for this one?

This is possible if you flash a 4.1 rom. Go to settings -> apps -> click on the app -> uncheck enable notifications.

How To Turn Off Gmail Notifications With Notification Extender?

How do I turn off Gmail notifications on the watch with GNE?
I just want them to show up with the stock Gear Notifications.
Someone? Please?

In Notifications for Gear S (maybe it's not GNE, don't know), you can select what apps to have their notifications sent through Notifications.
For that :
1. start Notifications (on the phone)
2. press the "wrench" icon in the upper right corner to enter settings
3. Uncheck "Read Gmail Notifications"
If it's still showing notifications, you can use 2 other methods :
A. filter by notifications text
- in the settings use the "Do not read notifications containing ..." and add whatever text you know will always show up
B. selective notificationns
- in the settings activate the "Do you want to be asked for new...", this will make the app ask you for each new notification type. When the dialog shows up (when you get a notification from a new program) you can choose to send the notification or to ignore it
In case GNE and Notifications are not the same app, you should look into GNE's settings and see if it has similar ways to choose what notifications it sends.
But, then I won't see Gmail notifications at all, instead of only seeing them once, versus twice, which happens now with GNE.

If you only disable GNE to send the notifications and leave the standard Gear S notifications active for Gmail then you should get just one notification (the standard one).
If you instead want to get the notification just from Notifications Extended, well, i for one didn't manage to do that.
When i disable notifications for Gmail from the standard Gear S notifications then the Notifications Extended doesn't send the notifications either. I might have something configured incorrectly though, haven't played too much with the settings.

Disable bundling of notofications

Hi, I'm looking for a way to disable the bundling of notifications of the same app grouping into 1 notification. I especially hate this with whatsapp, where I sometimes have to swipe so much to see the different messages I got, that it's faster to just go into the app.
In this cas:,
1. I have to swipe once to expand the main notification
2. I have to swipe to see the group messages
3. Even when fully expanded, not all notifications are visible.

Is there a way to just let it show all my notifications in separate bubbles, something like this (iOS10 plua jailbreak tweaks):

Honor 9 Notification Management - How To Not Use My Phone, pls hlp

Hi folks,
As part of a project to minimise my phone use, I'm wading deep into the murky waters of Honor 9 notification management. Bear with me.
Phone: STF-L09
EMUI: 8.0.0
Android: 8.0.0
Launcher: Nova Prime
2 x Google accounts, personal and work
GMAIL
I don't want to see any notifications from my work e-mail at all, but for my personal email, I'd like to see a status bar icon when I've unlocked the phone and have new messages - no lock screen notifications though! I'm tweaking settings via Gmail App > Settings > {choose account} > Manage Notifications, which takes me into the Huawei 'Notifications management' settings menu for the specified account.
For the work e-mail, I've just toggled 'Allow notifications' to 'off', and job done
For the personal, I've toggled the following settings;
- Allow Notifications - Yes
- Display in the Status Bar - Yes
- Banners - Yes
- Lock Screen Notifications - Never
- Priority Display - Off
- Ringtone - Yes
- Vibrate - Yes
If I go via the phone settings to Settings > Apps and notifications > Apps > Gmail > Notifications, It reflects these settings, with notifications allowed, but then 2 different entries under 'email' reflecting the above.
Despite this, I'm never notified of new emails to my personal account at all. What have I done wrong?
GOOGLE CALENDAR
I want to see lock screen notifications for both of my calendars, but I'd like to hide the content of events in my personal calendar. The settings don't seem to have the same granularity provided to the Gmail app - am I missing something, or is this just a Google oversight/quirk?
Probably more to come as I continue to tweak my set-up

Question Realme GT 5G - a few functionality issues

Hello,
I have been the owner of the Realme GT 5G phone for 2 weeks - it has Andoird 11 (v RMX2202_11_A.11) with realme UI 2.0. I spent hours trying to configure a few things, but I failed. As I didn't get the desired results, I decided to try to find help on the forum.
So, starting from the beginning:
1. I have a problem with the Facebook Messenger app, because when I work in vibration mode, notifications coming from the app are only signaled with a very short and delicate vibration. This vibration lasts for about 1 millisecond, which I can barely feel when I'm holding phone in my hand and expecting the notification. I checked vibration for notifications from other applications and they work properly.
a) I have all notification settings turned on in the Messenger app.
b) In settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> vibration intensity -> the sliders for the vibration with the ring and the vibration with the notification I have set to maximum
c) Battery settings for Messenger app are "optimization off"
When I have ring mode on, the Messenger notifications are properly signaled with a sound.
So what is wrong with vibration pattern for this app? Why the notifications are not properly signaled? What can I do to get normal vibration notification?
2. I have 2 games in "Game space app", version of the app is 4.5.27_6d29cc7_210603.
a) When I'm using app #1 - the Messenger chat bubbles are on top of the app, so I can see them for the entire time <- and that's what I would like to achieve.
b) When I'm using app #2 - the Messenger chat bubbles are hiding under the app #2, so I have to show the navigation bar (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), to see chat bubbles on the screen.
In settings for Messenger I have set "Display over other apps" as on.
Which setting is responsible for this feature?
3. Another problem with notifications from some apps (inter alia: Gmail, and game #1).
I'm using original Always On Display mode.
The problem is that some notifications don't come when the phone is locked and Always On Display is working.
Notifications from text messages, calls, facebook messenger or game #2 arrive normal, at the time of their receipt.
But from Gmail or game #1 notifications only arrive when I press the power button and wake up the screen. So when the screen is locked, there are no chances to get notification from those apps. This is silly because notifications are there to notify you of an event when you are not using your phone. But in this case, they only notify when the phone is in use.
a) Battery settings for these apps are "optimization off", "allow auto startup", "allow background activity".
b) In notification settings these apps have all settings on. They can notify everywhere and everytime but that doesn't solve the problem.
What else can I do, to receive these notifications on time?
Thank you for your help
