A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not getting notifications for something like a chat app is a big deal. Are there ways to allow apps to run in the background?
If the app uses Google FCM (which uses Google Play Services to poll notifications on device) it should register an FCM service that runs separately from the application, so it shouldn't need to run in the background.
However to answer your original question, you can disable battery optimization for particular apps. Or if an app wants to really never be killed, it can create an Android foreground service.
