Android’s Notification Limit:

Android’s Notification Limit:
A Hidden Quirk and My DIY Fix

Did you know Android limits the number of notifications an app can display? I share how I discovered this quirk and built a small app to work around it for my surveillance camera alerts.

Wait, what? Android can only display a limited number of notifications from an app?

The app for my surveillance cameras has the problem that after a certain time, it no longer receives any notifications. I have already contacted the app manufacturer several times about this. Unfortunately, each time without success.

By chance, I found out that there is a limit to the number of notifications displayed on Android. On my Samsung Galaxy, that is 24 per application. I had no idea.

If I dismiss notifications, new ones can be received. I was able to pass this information on to the developer, who obviously didn’t take it into account either.

As a short-term solution, I have now built myself a small app that deletes the relevant notifications after a while. 😎
