Huawei smartphones have several options for setting up push notifications. Their activation is not always obvious and depends on the state of the smartphone (whether it is in power saving mode, active or the screen is locked, etc.).
In this article, we will tell you how to enable notifications on Huawei on the lock screen, configure their display for individual applications, and also how to enable screen activation and blinking of the indicator for incoming messages.
Generally enable notifications on the lock screen
To enable lock screen notifications from messages and apps in general, you must:
- Open the “Settings” menu
- Go to the "Notifications" section (for Android 9 and 10) or "Applications and notifications" (for Android 8 and below)
- Activate the item “Notifications on the lock screen“
Depending on the firmware version and model of your Huawei, these items may be called differently. Therefore, if you don’t have such items, look for similar names.
What to do if you receive an important message and the screen is locked?
If the display is locked and Android settings are appropriate, you will not be able to view the contents of the SMS. The only option is to unblock it. But if you have a PIN code or long password activated, this is not always convenient. The way out of the situation is to install a “smart” lock. This includes:
- fingerprint;
- unlocking with a glance;
- Unlock via Bluetooth;
- voice command.
The functions are not available everywhere, it all depends on the model and version of Android. The simplest option is to scan your fingerprint. However, sensors are available on mid- and high-priced phones. They are rare on budget devices and do not work very stably.
Gaze unlocking is a process when a smartphone recognizes the owner’s face through the front camera. This phenomenon is also not found everywhere, but every second modern mid-price smartphone has this option.
Unlocking via Bluetooth is only available if you have a smart gadget - a watch or bracelet. Then you connect these two devices via Bluetooth, and when they are nearby, you can use the mobile device without a block. As soon as the watch and phone move away, the gadget starts asking for a password or pattern.

Voice command is less common than other methods, but also works well. The system reads the owner’s voice and then reacts only to it. To gain access to the desktop, you need to set a passcode.
Enable notifications for individual apps
First of all, you need to enable notifications in the applications themselves.
For example, in WhatsApp or Telegram, you can activate or disable them for each chat individually. This can be done in the settings of each program.
To enable application notifications on the Huawei screen, do the following:
- Open your phone settings
- Open the "Notifications" or "Applications or Notifications" section
- Go to "Notification Manager"
- You will see a section for managing notifications and a list of applications
- Select the application you are interested in and see if notifications are active for it.
By tapping the app name, you can fine-tune notification settings (for example, whether to show on the lock screen or in the status bar).
Why are notifications not received on the locked screen of Honor and Huawei smartphones?
Sometimes owners of devices of these brands encounter small problems that can spoil the overall impression of using the devices.
The most common problems are:
- There is no notification about received messages and missed calls from the social networks Viber, Odnoklassniki, VK, WhatsApp, etc. Even if all notifications are allowed and everything is in order with the settings of the applications themselves.
- Online app notifications do not appear on the display in sleep mode. After logging in everything works fine.
There may be several reasons for these problems, but one of the most likely is that Huawei and its sub-brand Honor adhere to the principle of maximum energy saving and their devices are built in the same way. Ergonomics and powerful performance are the main advantages of all brand smartphones.
However, what should users do if all restrictions are lifted, the device is configured to receive content, and notifications stubbornly do not arrive in sleep mode?
Let's take a closer look at this point, and for clarity, we use the already installed WhatsApp application on the HUAWEI P smart smartphone model, running Android 9 Pie OS with EMUI 9.1 firmware.
- You need to check your phone settings and the application itself:
- enable the “allow” item in the notification section;
- o sub-item “do not disturb”;
- activate notifications for any notifications in WhatsApp settings;
- connect your smartphone to the Internet in any convenient way (via a Wi-Fi wireless module or via mobile channels).
If, after thoroughly checking all the points, notifications are still not received, then proceed to the next stage:
- You need to disable power saving mode
- launch the dispatcher by clicking on the home screen widget;
- click on the “battery” icon;
- uncheck the sub-item “enable power saving mode”.
- Activate the device to the network even in sleep mode through the device’s own settings.
- select “other battery settings” located, usually at the bottom of the screen;
- enable the “connect to the network when the device is in sleep mode” mode.
- Set the device to “manual control” in the “Launch applications” category, disabling “auto control”.
- go back a step and select the “launch applications” section;
- switch to manual control;
- toggle “work in the background” in the “manual management” subsection;
- Confirm all actions by clicking the “ok” icon.
As a result, the application will work regardless of the state of the screen, since the launch control is under manual control and the automation does not affect it in any way. Share link:

From time to time, mobile phones create various problems for their owners. And this is logical, given that in terms of equipment, modern smartphones are not far behind personal computers. Therefore, sometimes people are faced with a situation, cannot solve it on their own, and seek help. For example, what should you do if notifications do not arrive on Huawei or Honor?
Agree, this is very unpleasant. For example, the user noticed that WhatsApp or VKontakte notifications were not received. And he receives them only when he goes directly into these programs. When they are in an active state. And this is very inconvenient, since you can easily miss some very important information for yourself.
