If the app is killed that doesn't just delay notifications. It prevents them until you manually open the app again.
Yeah, but we're talking about manufacturers adding custom functionality that delays notifications to save battery.
So why not disable the notification functionality if you don't want it?
I want the notification functionality, I just don't need it to be instant.
Delaying them by how much?
For Gmail, an hour delay would be fine. For Slack, probably 5 minutes would be ok.
Both these apps allow you to do that in-app. I have Gmail not notify me for work emails and notify me for stuff on my personal account.
I want all the notifications. This was a question about timing. I don't want them to do the constant polling required for the notifications to appear instantly.
That doesn't save the battery though.
Get one of the phones listed in the link. Xiaomi is brilliant in this regard !
Does it allow the user to configure the delays per app?
Don't most apps use GCM to deliver notifications anyway?
