Have you set the notification check interval too low? Try increasing it. Or, if you don’t want it running in the background, you can disable notifications.

i set it to 240. I thought 0 would disable it but 1 is the minimum.

I use WorkManager to check for notifications in the background. Although WorkManager supports periodic tasks, it enforces a minimum interval of 15 minutes. To work around this, I set up a single task with a delay after each notification check. I suspect this may be causing battery drain. Android optimizes background tasks to save battery, so even if a task is set to run every 15 minutes, it might only run daily. Since you’re using an older Android version, this optimization might not exist. I’ll test this by disabling the optimization, and if I notice excessive battery drain, I’ll switch to using a periodic task.
