How to create custom Android notifications
Set a photo, message and time on Android and understand notification permissions, alarms and manufacturer differences.
Quick answer
With Heypush on Android, you create a local notification and choose its content and timing. Notification permission, alarm access and the phone’s battery rules can all affect how a scheduled alert arrives.
Check the relevant permissions
Recent Android versions ask for permission to show notifications. If a test is missing, inspect Heypush’s notification permission in your app settings. Display permission and alarm scheduling are different controls: being allowed to show an alert does not guarantee precise scheduling in every condition. Follow the setup guidance shown in the app for your device.
Test outside the editor
Create a simple alert such as “Take the bag” with a short packing note. Send the immediate test to check content and visibility. Then schedule a short timer, return to the home screen and wait for it there. This separates the display test from the behavior of a scheduled notification in the background.
Account for your phone manufacturer
Notification and battery menus vary across devices. If an immediate test works but the scheduled alert is late, check alarm access and battery restrictions for Heypush. You do not need to disable battery protection for every application. Even after setup, delivery remains subject to the operating system and is not guaranteed in every situation.
Common questions
Is setup identical on Samsung, Pixel and Xiaomi?
No. The content can be the same, but menu names, presentation and battery policies vary by manufacturer.
Must Heypush stay open?
Notifications are scheduled locally. Missing permissions or system restrictions can still affect background delivery.
