VERY buggy Notifications - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Recently purchased the s9 (GM-G960F). However, I've noticed that the notifications are really buggy. I don't receive ANY notifications for my Gmail, Instagram sometimes works but when it does, 80% of the time it only vibrates with no sound. With WhatsApp, I only receive notifications for every 10 or so messages, and most of the time it only vibrates.
Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram are unmonitored from the battery
All notifications are on and set to urgent (so I get sound and pop up on the screen)
Notification sound is set to "skyline" (default notification sound)
I've tried using other notification sounds but no luck
I've looked in advanced notifications and I can't find anything wrong
Reset phone twice and still nothing
I've cleared the cache a number of times for each app that notifications don't work​
Any help?

Thanks, I installed it this morning. However, there is no difference. Notifications are still buggy

Check that you didn't enable any battery saving feature or install any on your phone including those that stops applications from accessing the internet or updating in the background. Also check the status bar in the settings, "Show Recent Notifications Only" should be turned off.

I've checked and no battery saving features are activated for WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram. (I've even turned off the save data feature in Instagram and Twitter), As for Gmail, nothing shows in the battery settings to unmonitor it.
Show recent notifications is off (it's one of the first things I did when I set up the phone)
My current Apps that I have installed are:
WhatsApp
Instagram
Twitter
Google Authenticator
Spotify
Snapseed
The rest of the apps came pre-installed on the device (Youtube, Gmail, Drive, Maps...)
I've started to uninstall one by one the Apps i've installed to see if it fixes it. So far I've tried Spotify and Instagram, but no fixes were made.
I've even gone into recovery mode and cleared the whole cache.

One example is a list of events I had on my calendar, it appeared today and i had a checklist to check it off and dismiss it as it completes.
however after restart, the list is gone. its still on my calendar, but the notification is gone.
is there a way to keep notifications on until i clear them? even after restarting the phone?

[Q] How to turn off Flipboard notifications?

How do you turn off Flipboard notifications? I'm tired of this app spamming me every day, I've tried going into the app going to profile, hitting the settings icon and then going to Push Notifications and unchecking all of the boxes but its still sending me the notifications!
Thanks.
Block it with debloater
Goto tablet settings, apps, find flipboard and turn off notifications, simple ☺

Same issue here. Turning off push notifications does not do the trick. Pissing me off, tell you what.

That's the problem, I use it daily, just hate the notifications. I have everything unchecked in settings and still they notify me. Ugh.
If the app is running in background you still get notifications, even with it disabled in settings, only way to stop it is to open recent apps and clear flipboard once youve stopped using it, this seems to happen with alot of apps, i get the same thing with news republic app

Android allowing notifications
The Blocking Mode on Galaxy devices lets you disable the entire notifications on your device, But how to disable notifications on Android for selected apps? follow the instruction to specify which application is allowed to show notifications on the status bar:
1. Open Settings and go to Application Manager (or Apps on some devices)
2. Now you should see the list of installed applications on your device
3. Tap the application you would like to disable notifications
4. Make sure "Show Notifications" is not checked

I also cleared data and signed out - some who still use FB may not want to go this far.
I'm so proud of myself. Some months ago, I started searching the Internet to find out how to end those annoying Flipboard notifications. Today, I was out searching, again. Somehow, I accidentally discovered the answer. And you'll flip when you read my solution! (Definitely, no pun intended. )
To disable Flipboard:
1. Go to your notifications.
2. Find a recent Flipboard notification item and touch and hold the notification item.
This action should take you directly to the app's notifications settings. At the very top is the option to disable Flipboard's notifications.
This worked in my Sansung Galaxy S7, but I see no reason it shouldn't work for other devices/users who are disgusted with the annoyance.

BUG- Lineage OS notification audio keeps repeating

Whenever I get any notification e.g. from youtube, email etc..
an audio notification sound would play
The problem is, it keeps on playing and will not stop, even after I have opened that app or dismissed that app from the lockscreen
Also how can I disable notification sound for all these type of apps?
I can't find an option in the settings.

I am getting the same thing. Have had LineageOS 15.1 on my Tab S2 for a while now with no problems. Then, for no reason I understand, it has started doing this. When a notification triggers, the sound repeats 2-3 times per second .
I have mainly noticed this in the Naviator app when it notifies 'TFR Database Updated'. This doesn't seem to be an actual system notification; instead, it is a pop-up in the app but plays (it's own?) notification sound. After the pop-up disappears, the notification continues indefinitely. I thought the issue was isolated to that app. However I had it also happen with a system notification (though I can't remember which) where, after dismissing the notification, the sound continued to repeat for another 10-15 seconds.
Any help would be appreciated. I will try wiping the dalvik and system cache to see if that helps.

Galaxy S20 delayed push notifications.

Hello all,
I have recently come back to Android from iPhone.
I am having delayed push notifications specifically from my Reolink wireless security camera.
Currently working with Reolink Support and have tried the following with no luck:
Solution: Please avoid turning on the Battery Saver Mode when using Reolink App.
Solution: Go to Apps -> Configure apps -> Battery optimization -> All apps, and then disable battery optimization for the Reolink App.
Solution: Please avoid closing the Reolink App or lock the Reolink App before closing the background process.
Solution: Use the Push Notifications Fixer app. <-Set to 5 minutes (recomended).
My notifications are coming in about 10-15 minutes late, which is not very helpful for security camera.
Any suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated !!!
Thanks.
i did observe same in gmail push !
I got pixel phone + gsuite payed gmail
notification was about 6-15min delay when phone was in deep sleep
I can confirmed that on iphone was wroking. properly , in time .
I get delays sometimes with Whatsapp, ebay, and paypal apps.
What frustrates me sometimes is that my Galaxy Watch sometimes stops notifications for the Samsung Email app (used for work email). Notification will show on the phone, but appears sometimes instant, sometimes delayed 5 mins, or never at all. Reboot of phone and watch does not fix it, i have to turn off the notification in Galaxy Wearable app, reboot, and re-add the notification.
I have Battery Management set to High Performance, as i do not want apps put to sleep etc.
