Notifications not working

[brokoli18]

When I set up a task on the mobile app I set a due date and a reminder, however no notification is displayed on the phone. The notificaiton permission has been granted and using the notification test button on the app works, so I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Android version: 14 Nothing OS: 2.6

Same problem here (Google Pixel, Android 14 latest release).

I have one task set up to repeat daily and suddenly stopped receiving notifications for it. Test notification works, just not when the actual task reminder is due.

My suspicion is that it has something to do with new battery optimization related permissions in Android. The tasks.org app has recently started requiring new permissions (see version 13.10 changelog - https://github.com/tasks/tasks/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md - "Android 13+ users must grant additional reminder permissions").

I still had an old version of tasks.org installed from F Droid and didn't receive any notifications there either until I updated it and granted the permission. If I remove the permission, I again don't get any notifications so I'm pretty sure that must be the root cause.

Will be fixed in the new version I will release tonight. The reason was that the package we're using changed what they include in their android manifest, so we were missing some attributes. I'd appreciate feedback to rule out the battery optimization this as soon as I release it.

I've upgraded to 0.1.7 on a samsung S21FE, Android 14, and i still dont receive notifications.

@darrylgibbs Can you confirm you tried reminders and due date notifications, the "send test notification" button in the settings works, and what your API version is? Thanks!

[Benimautner]

Also, if you could try to reinstall the app (fully uninstall and reinstall it) that would be great! Sometimes manifest changes fuck stuff up.

@Benimautner In my case notifications are now working after the upgrade

[Benimautner]

@brokoli18 great to hear, can you confirm android version and API version? Thanks!

[brokoli18]

Android version is android 14, but I am not sure what you mean by the API version?

[Benimautner]

When you log into your Vikunja Web client and go to /about (or click on your username on the top right and click "About"), what does it say?

[brokoli18]

Version: v0.24.2

@brokoli18 Thanks!

[darrylgibbs]

@Benimautner after running multiple (for lack of a better phrase) A-B tests, i can confirm all is well.

I eventually worked out that having the due date rather than just reminder date, (sorry I'm coming from Google Task logic) was a key factor. Also, just setting a task 1 or 2 min in the future for testing purposes would work. Id need at least 5min and then they'd work flawlessly.

@darrylgibbs thanks for letting me know! If you continue to have those glitches (reminders should also work if the task has no due date, obviously), please open a new issue.
