How to prevent applications from being unloaded from memory

Reboot your smartphone

One of the simplest solutions, and often a great substitute, is simply restarting the terminal. Although we don't believe it, this action may provide a clue to solve this problem in the notification bar of our mobile device. Either because it is not displayed or it is frozen taking up the entire screen and no matter how hard you try to make it work, it is possible that some process has failed, but by restarting it we can fix it for good.

Although we don't believe it, by following this action we can make the smartphone work normally again. Because we will get all the processes that were running to restart. So, most likely, when we enable it again, we will be able to move the notification bar without any glitches.

Apart from being one of the simplest methods, it is also considered one of the most effective solutions. Even anyone can do this without having much knowledge. More than anything else, because we will only have to access the On/Off menu and click on the Reboot option.

In case the alert panel has been locked and we do not see the said menu, it will be necessary to try a button combination to force it to restart. Depending on the brand of terminal we have, it may vary. Although quite often he presses the lock on/off button and the volume up button at the same time.

Phone settings

If the autorun function and notification settings are in perfect order, but WhatsApp still does not show pop-up notifications, more precise settings of the phone are needed to solve the problem.

Energy saving mode

The power saving mode is set by the system by default and is activated when the battery charge is insufficient, for example, if less than 30% remains.

Next, the problem is solved in two ways:

Option #1

If the remaining battery charge allows you to wait until the battery is recharged, you can completely disable the power saving mode either through the drop-down notification shade (called by swiping down) or through the settings of your mobile device (you need to go to the “power and performance” tab and turn off the power saving checkbox).

Don't confuse the panel with the control center

One of the first aspects we must take into account is that the Terminal Control Center should not be confused with the notification panel. For those who don't know, the first one offers us instant access to various controls that will be very useful without having to enter terminal settings. As with the flashlight, airplane mode, adjusting screen brightness, activating mobile phone Wi-Fi and many other functions.

Once we understand what it consists of, it becomes clear that the panel is responsible for displaying all incoming notifications on our Android device. That is, just by its name we should already have an idea of what it consists of. Well, basically, as we already said, it is the place where these notifications about various applications appear on Android mobile devices. For example, unread messages from WhatsApp or some interaction on a social network.

Thus, this panel will display those notifications that we have received, regardless of whether we are using the mobile phone or it is locked at that time. We can say that this is a kind of e-mail mailbox in which all those notifications that reach the terminal are collected, since it can also be an SMS or a missed call. Also, to access it, you have to slide from the top of the panel, but this may not work for various reasons, but fortunately, there are different solutions that we will show you.

Power saving mode as a reason for not receiving notifications

If you have battery saving mode enabled on your Android smartphone, this may also cause notifications to stop coming. Typically, you can turn off power saving mode in one of the following ways:

A button in the notification area, as in the image in the previous section.
In settings. On pure Android, in the “Battery” section - “Power Saving Mode”. There, it may also make sense to disable the “Adaptive Battery” mode, if available.
On Samsung Galaxy - in Settings - Device Maintenance - Battery - Power Mode. Try setting it to High Performance mode.

On devices with their own interfaces, for example, Xiaomi or Huawei, the location of the battery saver setting may differ, but it is usually easy to find (you can also use the search in settings).

VK Push Notifications are not enabled

Users using the mobile version of the site on a computer are wondering why VK push notifications are not enabled in the settings. Instead of activating them, a message appears stating that notifications are blocked.

The thing is that this option is only available for mobile devices. Accordingly, you need to enable it on your smartphone or tablet. In the full version of the site, this setting is not displayed at all.

Other notification settings on Android that may cause them to not arrive

In addition to the cases described, notifications may not arrive for the following reasons:

Do Not Disturb mode is turned on (usually turned on by a button in the notification area). But on some smartphones you can make sure that notifications continue to arrive in this mode, for example, on Samsung - in Settings - Notifications - Do Not Disturb (if you enable this item, they will begin to arrive).
The application is not allowed to send notifications. Typically, you can go to Settings - Applications, select the desired application and click on the "Notifications" button to see whether notifications are allowed for this application and which ones (as in the screenshot below).
Some applications may have their own settings for sending notifications, independent of Android. Try going into the application settings and see if such options are there and whether they can be changed.

Usually, by this point the problem with notifications has been resolved, or at least the reasons why they are not arriving are clear. However, if this is not the case, pay attention to the following nuances.

What applications do notifications come from?

Before you try to enable them for any program, it is worth finding out whether it even has such a function.

For example, from the applications “Calendar”, “Calculator”, “Voice Recorder”, “Notes”, etc. notifications cannot be received (only system ones).

The notification function is usually installed in all social networks, instant messengers, mail, news applications and games.

This item can be checked as follows:

Go to “Settings”;
Select the "Notifications" tab;
Open “Manage notifications” or “Application notifications” (depending on the MIUI version);
There you will see a list of applications with access to notifications.

Why does your smartphone run out quickly?

However, be careful. Due to the fact that the system loses the ability to automatically unload applications from memory when resources are overused, this can negatively affect the battery life of the smartphone. In this regard, we would recommend not to get carried away and not switch to manual control of too many programs. Otherwise, you run the risk that your device’s charge will go down the drain within a matter of hours after being disconnected from the power supply.

Scheduled cleaning of inactive contacts

The Gravitec.net service has developed a function for clearing inactive database contacts to maintain its relevance. So, if a user has not received push notifications within 14 days (they were not delivered), then he is automatically excluded from the database. In addition, cleaning can be done manually to weed out invalid tokens. Therefore, if, for example, a subscriber was on vacation for more than two weeks without access to the Internet, his contact may be deleted from the database. What to do in this case?

If you continue to receive push notifications from the site you are interested in, you need to update your subscription (go to the site and click “Allow sending notifications”).

Reset your mobile

The last alternative that can solve these problems on our mobile device would be to reset it to factory settings , that is, the way it was on the first day of use. But we reiterate that it is not advisable to do this lightly, only when none of the other methods gives us a solution.

So, if nothing worked, we will have to try restarting our smartphone. Since it is normal that this notification panel error can be solved. Also, before starting this process, it is important to back up all your terminal data.

To restore it we must go to Settings > System, although again this may vary depending on the brand of our phone. Then you will need to go to Recovery > Restore Phone. We will then click on "Confirm" or "Accept" and enter the pin code that we usually use. After that, click the “Restore” button, and after a few minutes the mobile device will start up again.
