This affects me for all apps; notifications tend to show up only when the phone is woken up by touching the screen or some other external action.
The phone is at full charge most of the time and on WiFi. I have Battery Saver and Adaptive Battery turned off. Many apps are affected including Gmail, Signal, Slack, and Phanpy (a PWA in Chrome). I'm running Android 14 on a Pixel 8, Build Number AP1A.240305.019.A1.
I made a Reddit post about this about a month ago which people keep finding. New comments every day saying "this is happening to me too, is there a fix?" Not many details in most of the comments but may be a source of info from other affected users.https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1atgrmf/pixel_8_delayed_notifications_is_there_a_fix/

Most annoyingly, this happens with Messages (SMS/RCS) and PHONE CALLS. This is such a basic, essential phone function that I cannot in good faith ever purchase a Pixel device again. Please fix this.

By the way, this is NOT specific to the P8P or beta. This is happening on Pixel 8 with the standard OS, as well. Calls go straight to voicemail for the caller.

Hello, I'm also in the UK (but using iD who are on the Three network) and experiencing the same problem.
I've set various apps to unrestricted battery usage in case that affected things but continue to expressive the opportunity!
Searching again today because WhatsApp (which I have set to unrestricted battery usage) notifications didn't arrive until I unlocked my phone and were from 15 minutes ago. Battery is >80% and both WiFi and 4G were available. My phone was not in DnD mode.
I have a Pixel Watch 1 which the phone is connected to via Bluetooth but I was not wearing this at the time.
Don't remember encountering anything similar with my Pixel 7 Pro or any other android devices.

It also prevents alarms from firing. When you power on the device, along with a plethora of other notifications, you'll also see voicemails for the calls you missed, and a notification of "missed alarm" with no details other than the time you were supposed to wake up, but didn't.

I think I fixed this problem on my phone by turning off "Adaptive Connectivity". I don't know what that setting is supposed to do but it seems to be breaking timely notifications. Details in
ro...@gmail.com
I'm experiencing the same behaviour on my Pixel 8 since I bought it in January.
For me at least following apps are affected (most important for me): Whatsapp, Gmail, MS Teams.
The notifications are not always delayed, but most of the time (could be 5 mins, 10 mins, ... , 45 mins, etc.).
And if I pick up the phone and unlock the display, the notifications come in or in some cases only when I open the related app.
The most unpleasant thing for me is, that also MS Teams calls (not only messages) are sometimes affected. Suddenly I get a missed Teams call notification, but the phone was not ringing. I have a very good and stable Wifi connection, so it's definitley not related to a bad network connection.

My ticket got merged with this, but yes same issue, I had adaptive connectivity off, always do, along with any battery optimizations and data saving crap. I see the same issues with Gmail, exchange email clients, google voice, etc. Same behavior where I can go hours with no notifications until I wake the phone. I also have AOD on. Pixel Fold here.

My Pixel 7 is only two months old. Since the most recent software update at the end of March, my Pixel 7 has had delayed text messages. This has occurred 7 different times with a text delay ranging from 3 to 12 hours in the past 2 weeks. This has happened with MMS, SMS, and group messages. It has happened with different contacts. I have talked with AT&T support five times and they have assured me the issue is fixed, but this continues to happen which signifies to me that this is a Google issue. Others online have also reported this issue. I tried using a different messaging app and had the same issue using both Messages and Textra. It is unacceptable to not be receiving text messages for 12 hours. I have been loyal to Google pixel for 7 years and this issue is causing me to question if I can remain using a Pixel. Please fix this issue ASAP or I will be trying to file a warranty on my device.

Pixel 8 Pro, same here, notifications are constantly delayed from a few minutes to hours. This bug breaks the basic functionality of the smartphone, anything related to push notification is affected.
Turning off "Adaptive Connectivity" and "Battery Manager" as adviced does not solve the problem.
Can confirm this bug was introduced with QPR2 in March and no following updated solved it.

Same problem on my Pixel 7 since the March update I think. This wasn't happening at the beginning of thia year.
Notifications from the security GPS tracker for my kid don't arrive in time for me to respond in an emergency rendering the service almost useless. My wife's iPhone continues to receive them instantly.
I get a deluge of other delayed notifications when I wake up the phone after the screen has been off more tha 5 minutes or so. This is a critical bug that needs fixing ASAP..

I, too, am getting delayed notifications. It seems to happen when the phone is off of the charger and the display is locked for a certain amount of time. I have several apps that I depend on the notifications but the notifications don't come through until I unlock the phone. Then I get multiple notifications that are out of order and I have to try to piece together time-frames. Absolutely stupid.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
From the log analysis, things look normal to us.
If the issue persists, please file another bug with a newer bug report that includes:
- the time at which the notification was expected
- the time it was actually received.
- the app which the notification is expected
We also took a look at some of the other comments and they do not appear to be related to the issue described by the original issue.
In the future we would need a separate bug with bug reports to investigate each issue further.

We have taken a look at the bug report and do not see any sent messages for a specific app.
Could you please help us with the following information to investigate further?
1. Name of the app/app package
2. Expected receipt time of notification
3. Actual receipt time of notification
bl...@gmail.com
1. Involved apps on my device: WhatsApp, Instagram, Signal, Glovo, Proton Mail, basically any service involving push notifications while the device is in deep sleep.
2 and 3. (Actual notification receipt time - Expected receipt time) varies from notification to notification, if the device is awake notifications show up immediately, if it is not it must either be awaken manually or the notification may come up from 2-3 minutes late to 1-2 hours.
Disabling doze from adb resolves the problem but obviously kills the battery, it's not a solution.

Would you be able to clarify what the original "banking transaction" app is?
-
We are currently trying to verify that the messages are actually being delayed due to doze. However from the bug report we are not seeing any messages queued up due to doze being delivered upon exit from doze.
-
Furthermore, we are not seeing any push notifications from the mentioned apps.

With my device being on the Beta 4 (AP31.240617.009) I can confirm this is still an issue. An example is with Facebook when I unlocked my phone I got the notification straight away but the time on the notification was 13 minutes ago.
st...@gmail.com
Another example but happening with Gmail. I unlocked my phone and then I got the late notification which should've been sent 8 minutes ago. See attached.
gy...@gmail.com
Same here, I have the device paired with a smartwatch for notifications, and when the phone is standing on a table for i.e. an hour because I'm busy I get 0 notifications on my watch, then I suddenly turn on the phone and I get tons of notifications from all chats/email/whatever all of a sudden, with my watch getting crazy from too many notifications at the same time, of course all notifications time span from some minutes ago to dozens of minutes ago. It doesn't seem to be happening when I am on the move and the phone is in my pocket. It seems a little bit better disabling both adaptive battery and adaptive connectivity, but it's not a solution.

Same problem on pixel 7, I still have a delay in notifications, I think the problem is with FIrebase cloud messaging.
Support told me to reset the phone, but that didn't help. As a result, I lost all my data in vain. This is a really big problem :/ I hope Google will solve it soon....

same here on pixel 7 pro. It frequency to happen when I put the phone for a while (for example 30 minutes). the application notification was not arrive until 15 minutes pass. the notification arrived. After I opened the message. It was sent 15 minutes ago.
The application that I used is LINE Messaging. it already set to receive the message in background (Unrestricted) but the issue still happens.
This is very critical issue to me. I hope google solve this issue as soon as possible.

Having this happen on a brand new P8P as well. I'm pretty sure the issue is caused by dozing, because on gsam battery monitor it will tell you that the phone spends virtually no time in light doze and keeps jumping straight into deep doze, which is why disabling dozing via adb fixes it.
Quite frankly, I have to wonder if Google did this change on purpose to improve notoriously bad battery life on Pixels, and probably won't fix the fact this murders notifications. I switched from Samsung - think I may have made a mistake.

I advise people reporting this issue here to check this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/x9r70i/doze_has_almost_ruined_android_for_me/
As you can see, this is a longstanding issue by design that Google will likely never fix. If they would just give us the option to disable doze on a per-app basis, that would be a decent workaround. As it is, it's all or nothing. Having instant notifications is EXTREMELY important for certain applications, such as security cameras and doorbells.
You can use an app called Doze Stopper on the playstore to fix this, instead of relying on the adb command.
Finally, Google are increasing the speed at which a phone enters Doze by 50% for Android 15 - they are making this issue worse, not better.

One final thing to point out - Doze DOES allow for apps to override it and push notifications through instantly, as far as I'm aware (so that you can get texts and calls still). This requires the app dev to have their notifications set to a higher priority. The problem is, a lot of them don't. eBay, for example.
Guess what else - Gmail. That's why you often see complaints about Gmail stuff not being pushed through properly versus other 3rd party clients.
Since we can't rely on app devs to use their notification overrides for doze properly, we NEED to be able to manually turn off doze on a per-app basis. This used to be possible when it was first introduced in Android 6. I have no idea why this is no longer possible.

I'm returning my new P8a as a result of this. Not receiving notifications when emails or messages are received renders the device useless to me. I can pick up my phone from the desk and Gmail notifications arrive for emails received 1-2 hours prior. None of the suggested fixes have worked. Given how common the issue appears to be and how significantly it impacts the usefulness of the device, it seems wild that fixing this doesn't appear to be a priority.

I just missed an important delivery that required a signature because my Pixel 8 Pro failed to deliver the ring doorbell notification. I was on the patio literally reading an article on my phone: So my phone wasn't in any kind of "sleep" mode. I was actively using it, clicking links, etc. I was on WiFi. I didn't have any kind of do not disturb enabled. My Ring app is already set to "Allow Background Usage" to disable the adaptive battery nonsense for that app. I also have adaptive connectivity already turned off as well.
This kind of thing is happening ALL THE TIME with the Pixel phones, and it's been an issue for a while. My wife's Pixel 6 is doing the same thing.
This needs to get addressed ASAP. I miss calls, texts, and important emails all the time because of this issue.

ad...@gmail.com
To follow-up on the above, having read that the Gmail app is notorious for not pushing messages, I installed Spike and then Edison to manage email, and I'm sat at my PC with several emails in my inboxes that my P8a has declined to notify me of for over an hour. As soon as I wake the device, the notifications are pushed. I've removed my iPhone from my Google account and the P8a is the only mobile device synced to my accounts. Notifications are enabled, I've disabled adaptive battery and tried various other fixes to no avail. This applies to multiple apps, including Ring and WhatsApp, but calls haven't been an issue.
Total waste of time so I've booked it in for collection and will either return to using my iPhone SE or look for an alternative with a ≤6.1" screen.

Another update for anyone still struggling with this and not able to return the phone.
I realised that notifications were almost instantaneous during charging, which pointed to doze as the culprit. I also discovered that Gmail, Ring etc., notifications would arrive <6 minutes after locking the device, but beyond that, nothing. Someone on Reddit suggested disable doze via ADB, but the terminal command failed due an issue with permissions, so I tried out an app called "Doze Stopper" which seems to work fine.
Not sure what impact on the battery this will have but to have to go to these lengths just to receive time-sensitive and important notifications really isn't good enough.

How many of these impacted apps actually send ttl 0 and property high with their firebase messages to make sure notifications are received timely? Android purposely delays certain notifications not sent with high priority which is not a user controlled parameter.

Similar issue for me. I own Pixel 6 pro. I may have the phone down, charging for a while. Not hear any notifications. I pick it up, unlock it and then behold, a whole bunch of notifications come in. My expectations for my phone is to keep me informed of all alerts and notification immediately, not only when I pick up to look at it. Please fix this immediately as this is what I deem extremely crucial everyday aspect of this device.

Re: #46 - this is a valid point but you'd imagine that the Ring app would send high priority notifications when someone presses your doorbell or breaks into your house. Likewise Gmail and the various other email clients I tried as an alternative. Although (unlike some others) I've had no issue receiving calls/messages, which does suggest priority could be a factor.

Add me to the list of people who also started seeing this after the March update. I did not install it until this summer and noticed it immediately afterwards. I'm sure there are lots of differences between versions but whatever happened between the October 2023 version and March 2024 has introduced this bug. I would agree that something with Firebase communication is potentially causing this issue.

I can confirm it is happening on the Pixel 9 Pro XL too. It is happening also with apps that supposedly use hi priority notifications like RCS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Eufy and many more.

Notifications are still delayed sometimes by over 20 minutes.

Update: I inquired with my co-workers and two family members who are on both, Pixel and Galaxy platforms that they are also noticing delayed notifications on their devices. The network we use is minimally at 500Mbps so network connectivity is NOT the issue. I've switched to iOS since September 16th. E-mails to all of us seem to appear in my iOS notifications within 25-30 seconds while the Android users receive the e-mails about 20-27 minutes after sent. It's possible this isn't just a Pixel issue.

Never really had this problem on my previous Pixel's (I've been using Pixel's since the first one) but since "upgrading" from a 7 to a 9, I've been constantly experiencing delayed notifications from a variety of apps and in some cases notifications that never even arrived. Receiving timely notifications is an absolutely critical feature and it is really disappointing to see that this bug has been apparently been widely known for years and still not fixed. If we can't get something this critical resolved, this is likely my last Pixel. I need to be able to trust my phone.
For notifications not being received at all, it seemed to be related to apps that were transferred over during device setup. If I reinstalled those apps, it seemed to resolve it.
However, even after fixing that, I am still seeing delayed notifications for many apps.
I'm a huge fan of this platform, but please take this seriously and find a fix.

Also happens on my Pixel 6 Pro (It's been happening for many months). I'd suddenly receive dozens of notifications. It just happened minutes ago. I have Adaptive Battery turned off and phone was at 98%.
Perhaps turning off "Adaptive connectivity" could be a workaround?
If this isn't fixed, I'm jumping ship to another phone manufacture by Christmas time since Google doesn't seem to care (or have the capability to fix bugs).

The FCC categorizes notifications as being "user controlled" however, in this case, the cause of the notification delay is "android controlled" or caused by DOZE which is built into the android system. We can file complaints with the FCC that we don't receive our notifications immediately. The FCC DOES require for smartphone users to receive emergency alerts however, with the notification delays we are all experiencing, even for alerts, I feel the FCC will take action due to the potential danger android users could be in by receiving delayed emergency alerts.

Like *gy...@gmail.com <gy...@gmail.com>* said, the best thing to do is open
a new bug report, as the dev. team has basically said they won't be
following this thread anymore. Based on the feedback they have a while
back, I don't think they don't consider this issue relevant anymore because
it was posted about an Android version that is out of date. To the end
user, the problem was introduced with the DOZE function in whatever that
version was and persists now, but apparently we need to make a new thread
about the current version of Android every time there is an update.
Luckily for me, the issue has gone away for all of the apps that I care
about after finding the now hidden menu to allow apps to run Unrestricted.
Android changed all of my apps to Optimized at the same time that menu was
hidden. I still get a deluge of notifications every time I wake up the
phone after it's been in sleep for for a while, from apps that I don't
really care about that much, so the issue is still there.

Why have people raise a new issue when this could serve the purpose perfectly well?
Why not merge the multitude of issues raised around this bug and actually investigate it properly?
There are people being threatened with termination of their employment because of delayed Android notifications and all you can offer is "intended behaviour".
The problem persists with 15. My Pixel is now a cross-platform test device while I carry a proper phone that lets me know when I have emails/messages, or when someone's ringing my doorbell.

Intended behavior!?
So delayed notifications, messages, calls, is intended for a smart phone?
I've bought ever pixel since the first one, currently using a Pixel 8 pro.
I just have to express I'm disappointed in google. I have advocated for pixels and gotten multiple people to buy and use pixel phones and I feel responsible for them having to experience this.
Truly disappointing. I would never suggest a phone that receives delayed notifications, let alone miss phone calls.
I hope that there is a class action lawsuit that holds google accountable for this.
Absolutely unacceptable, I feel betrayed as a fan and advocate.

>> Won't fix (Intended behavior)
For years, after every reboot I forced to use terminal to disable your ****** deviceidle mode, by issuing command:
./adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
And after years, you just tell that THE PHONE THAT DID NOT RECEIVE MEET CALLS (and does not deliver any other notifications in time) is Intended behavior.
I can't believe. F*** you GOOGLE.

You need to report it to the FCC and provide a description of the issue. I reported this issue to the FCC a couple of weeks ago and got a case number. In my case, I was receiving delayed emergency alerts, etc. I still keep an old iPhone handy which has proven the DOZE/deviceidle mode on Android is delaying notifications up to 35+ minutes, even on apps set completely as unrestricted on my Pixel. My colleagues with Samsung and Motorola phones are experiencing the same delay. Google will have to acknowledge this very soon since the FCC has been getting reports of this.

The other problem this causes is when I pick up my phone to do something
important like make a payment, confirm 2FA, unlock something, etc., I get
bombarded with irrelevant notifications that block my interaction with what
I'm trying to do and I have to quickly swipe them away one by one.
Obviously I can't read each one as I do that, and I end up missing some of
those delayed notifications because I've now swiped them away. So even if
your critical notifications are somehow coming through, having the other
ones delayed is a useability disaster.

Just please please add toggle (it can be hidden in developer options if you wish) to turn off doze mode like you can do it via adb command, that has persistance and is remembered between reboots - solution simple as that, power users that are bothered with delayed notifications can turn doze off, all the rest of the world don't care and won't use it.

Intended behavior, are you kidding? If you only mean - intended by Google.
A little history of my discovering of notifications delays. I was always sort of a fan of Nokia phones and the last one was 5.4, where I noticed the described problem for the first time. In particular, delays were seen after a long idle, i.e. the phone wasn't used for 5-6 hours, just lying at the table. Though it is not normal, as no Don't disturb mode was on, I thought it might be reasonable. Well, like if you are not using your phone actively let it slow down to reduce a battery drain. But later all became worse, notifications stopped just after an hour of the phone inactivity and flooded right after the screen awakening. I assumed that it was the phone itself, that it has slow memory, that it generally degraded by time (2+ years), that the HMD manufacturer dropped the software quality, etc. By the way, it was Android12 then. There were no such problem in previous versions or previous HMD phones.
Considering that the Nokia phone brand was discontinued and further HMD plans were generally vague, I decided to switch somewhere. For a number of reasons, the Pixel 8a was chosen. One of the reasons was that it's a "reference" phone with decent hardware and the direct Google vision of UX, which means expectations of smooth work in every aspect. And you know, that's true for most ...except the notifications! With the Android14 on my new phone this bug was still there, i.e., just give it a little idle time and it will stay silent. Thank God SMS/Calls are not affected, but the rest of the software, starting from any kind of messengers to different online banking, postal services, market apps, etc. is like going offline with the screen off. Kind of a workaround was to unlock the phone more often and it was really annoying. And then the Android15 arrived and now it's a total nightmare! Even if you unlock your phone, you can't be sure that you have no notifications, because some of them will appear while others you may not see till you open the app.
The worst is that there is nothing you can do. I've tried reboots, cash/data cleaning, apps reinstalling, turning off all battery restrictions and "clever" adaptations... So, it's definitely an intended. Intended core system behavior. Behind the battery life extention and all that AI crap Google has forgotten the main purpose of a personal electronic communicator - to send and receive messages immediately, and to be able to adjust your device behavior to your own needs. Now, you have neither. You have no a reliable channel to receive notifications and stay informed and be ready to react timely, but should be happy with having the AI assistant, AI wallpapers, AI photo effects, AI battery.

Pixel 7, having the same issue. Wife had a Pixel 7 with the same issue too. We both factory reset and attempted suggestions on this thread but still getting delays. She switched to a Galaxy and everything works fine. I'm struggling on but this will be my first and last Pixel given it seems this issue has been going on so long and Google are not interested.

I honestly can't believe that this is "Intended Behaviour".
What are they smoking in engineering that "Thing that's supposed to get your attention" is permitted to be delayed for hours in the name of battery life? I'd like to go down there and program their refrigerator to turn off if the door hasn't been opened in a few minutes, in the name of "power saving". Or maybe turn off the lights every minute if someone isn't flailing their arms around. Or escrow their paycheques until they walk to the bank.
Jesus H Christ what is going on such that I can't rely on a state-of-the-art communication device to notify me of communication AS IT OCCURS.
Do I have to go back to a pager to get real-time communication?
What do we have to do to get Google to reopen this case and take it seriously? Just give me a menu option to switch this "intended behaviour" off. How hard can that be?

Nothing original to add, but chiming in to say the Pixel 8a I just bought to replace my Pixel 7 Pro is behaving the same, problematic way on current versions. Troublingly, Nest camera and doorbell notifications are also delayed, so this isn't a "third party app" issue, as I've seen some try to pass the blame in other support threads. I'm missing many other notifications on my phone, from several apps. Worst-case, I don't get Nest camera notifications before a home invasion. Best-case, I'm missing non-urgent texts from family until I unlock the phone.
Root cause is something to do with the "adaptive" battery/data settings since Android 12, if all the threads I've read are painting an accurate picture. I've made all recommended changes, at the expense of my battery life, but the problems persist.
I was holding out for a 9a. I wouldn't have bought another Pixel if I'd researched & found out this bug is so prevalent. It's getting returned ASAP. I may let my partner finally talk me into finally joining Apple.
I'm willing to support devs if you reach out (info, logs, how to reproduce problem), but seeing how old this issue is is very frustrating.

Another "me too" here. Came from Pixel 7 to 9 Pro and I don't get important notifications until I pickup or use my phone after it's been sitting for a while.
I've turned off adaptive battery and adaptive connectivity and set my important apps to run in the background, but it's made no difference whatsoever.
I'm close to resorting to custom ROMs.

For those who compare Pixel phones vs other manufacturers, that`s not how it works. Pixels are decent gadgets overall. Looks like the problem is the Android system itself beginning with the 12 version. Either you are using your phone actively or have a big chance of missing notifications. So, if you have a Pixel phone, don't bet on the chance to get rid of delays with buying e.g. Samsung or Xiaomi. You'd better try some workarounds, like using apps that prevent doze. Personally, I prefer to use only ADB shell with the command
./adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
(this method works only till reboot, so you need to repeat it after system updates and check whether your phone didn't reboot automatically)

I gave Doze Stopper a try and the difference is night and day! My phone works as expected again, and battery life doesn't even seem to be any different for me, either.
Really hope this gets fixed so that I don't have to resort to janky workarounds, though.

Yes I am being impacted by this as well. Switched over from Apple when I got my Pixel 9 Pro XL and have intermittent delayed notifications since pretty much the beginning. Extremely frustrating to pick up my phone to get 4 or 5 notifications appearing all at once for apps that was supposed to trigger up to 30 min ago. Insane to think that this was labeled as Intended behavior, which really makes me believe they didn't understand where the original issue was coming from.

No need to say it's my first Google Pixel device and last one. I cannot rely on a device that delays notifications. Won't fix (intended behavior) is a joke on us. Google should be more clear and admit the problem and give us a preview date for a fix.
