I may have figured it out. Had android system intelligence, google play services & google play store data access limited to only WiFi, and not both "mobile data & wifi" under "commections - mobile data usage - allowed networks for apps" settings.

Will need to do more testing so far im getting notifications while on VPN.

EDIT: Further testing showd the above setting changes resolved the issue.
