Notifications when app NOT RUNNING - Amazon Fire Phone

Have 3.6.8, unlocked, Google play installed.
Most of the programs, when are not open, will not display any notifications.
Example: if someone sends me a skype message when skype on my phone is not open, I will not know about this message until I open skype.
If skype is running, then notifications go through just fine. So I have to keep skype, viber, whatsapp, hangout, tapatalk open.
On the other hand, Facebook chat and Gmail app will always get notifications through, even if they are not running.
I checked notification settings, everything is turned on.
Any help?

Using another launcher does this

I had the same problem without custom launcher....
Why would Gmail and Facebook chat go through and nothing else? Even Facebook doesnt go through, just chat.
What I found also is, when I restrart the phone and send skype message to it, it goes through. Once I open and close skype... nada. But this is only for skype, hangouts, whatsapp, viber, tapatalk are still no-no....

I only use whatsapp and viber..the launcher was the issue..im not sure about other apps

Facebook notification error

Friend is on 2.2 and her daughter used her phone to sign in and upload photos to Facebook. Now my friend keeps getting notifications whenever someone comments on her daughters Facebook.
If she goes online to Facebook she is signed in. She cannot uninstall Facebook for Android (only updates) or the Facebook for HTC.
Any suggestions to stop getting her daughters notifications appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open FB and log out from the app or, instead to uninstall the app, just clear the app data, that will reset the app
Thanks, I have gone into app management and in both apps forced closes, delete data etc but I cannot uninstall either of them. I can understand why I cann't delete the FB for HTC Sense cos it is in the ROM but the FB for Android was downloaded from the Market. Will get her to log out and log in again and see what happens.

Not recieving notificatons for Twitter/Facebook

Every new rom I install I don't recieve notifications from twitter or facebook. I recieve a gmail notification but never a notification for that specific app. How do i get my notifications to come through?
Make sure your notifications box is checked. In Facebook, click the menu button on your phone and go into settings. The box saying "Notifications" should be checked in and say "Active". As far as I know, Twitter should send you notifications automatically.
i did all that all my notification boxes are checked but when i get a mention on twitter i get an email from gmail but not a twitter notification
I was actually also getting that also until the new update now it is coming through sometimes but yeah sometimes they don't come in

Use friendcaster instead of the Facebook app. Then under settings in friendcaster have it set to push notifications. This will make it so that when you get the email, you will get a friendcaster notification. They have a twitter app too called tweetcaster that is equally badass.

[Q] 'Facebook chat' is turned OFF but still shown as Online (linked via Messenger)

I have my FB account linked to my Messenger.
In the WP7 'messaging' settings I've turned off the FB chat. However whenever I go online for Windows Live Messenger I seem to appear as 'online' on Facebook.
As a consequence I get Facebook messages delivered to Messaging, but because chat is turned off.. I can't actually reply to the messages.
It's very annoying.
My work around has been to go to http://touch.facebook.com > Chat > Go Offline.
Had anyone else experienced this problem &/or know of a solution?
Your phone settings will not change the computer settings. You have to turn off or unlink FB from your WLM if you don't wish to have chat on.

How do i get FB, Whatsapp to name a few to work on my SW3?

Just got a SW3, setup has gone fine, the watch syncs with my Z5 (5.1.1 stock UK) watch appears to be upto date and latest version of android wear installed.
Only some of my wear apps appear on the watch, BBC News, Accuweather, Flight radar to name a few but FB, FB messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Google+ are all missing.
My first smart watch, had a look on the Sony support pages and found nothing
I get the occasional message saying Google Play Services is missing from my phone.....which its not and is upto date as far as I can tell.
Any ideas anyone
G+, FB (and maybe others) are not a wear app
You'll get notification, where you can reply to any message. That's at least for G+ and WhatsApp
For facebook you can reply to messages and like tags (which is kind of useless since it doesn't even show you what was tagged) so yeah, FB support is still pretty basic.

Not getting push notifications from GMail

Strange, I am not getting GMail notifications since I have my Pixel 2XL
Messages stops working after few minutes after the screen is off
1. I have tried to reinstall GMail + clean cache/data
2. tried to use Inbox app but same results
3. Other email apps (Edisson Email) works fine with push notifications
4. All other apps using push notifications works like a charm
any sugestions?
Please check whether sync option is enabled.
users & accounts > Automatically sync data > Enable
Checked, done - other Google items like contacts calendars etc are syncing properly
I've had this issue with Gmail for at least 8 years on every phone I've owned. It works when it wants to, that's about all I've learned in that time.
Interesting thing now that I'm using Tesla Unread: Whenever Gmail is not doing it's thing, I will see a badge for unread messages even though there is no notification. Open Gmail, and it shows unread messages in the inbox menu (but not in the box itself). A minute or so after opening the app, it will download the message and give a notification.
I no longer rely on Gmail, because of this. It's been going on for years and many people have had the same issue.
