For some reason my push Notification are not working properly even with my ntfy server. I will miss calls from people because it doesn’t seem like my clients are running in the background on my pixel. I have the battery access set to unrestricted. I do not know why the clients don’t run in the background to notify me.

It seems they only really notify me if I keep the client open.

I am using a google pixel 8 running grapheneos. The clients I have tried are: schildichat and element.

I have also tried it on my fiance’s google pixel 8 running grapheneos and the same issue appears.

I am running both my ntfy server and matrix server on docker on a ubuntu 20.04 machine with casaos. I use cloudflare tunnels to forward my services.

When troubleshooting notifications it passes all the tests on both element and schildichat. however on element x and schildi next I get an error failed to check gateway and push back loop. (which both element x and schildi next functioning 100% for me yet. See other posts)

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: it seems to be a problem with ntfy. Checking the container logs I found this:

INFO Connection closed with HTTP 500 (ntfy error 50003) (error=internal server error: base-url must be be configured for this feature, error_code=50003, http_method=GET, http_path=/_matrix/push/v1/notify, http_status=500, tag=http, visitor_auth_limiter_limit=0.016666666666666666, visitor_auth_limiter_tokens=30, visitor_id=ip:example, visitor_ip=example, visitor_messages=43, visitor_messages_limit=17280, visitor_messages_remaining=17237, visitor_request_limiter_limit=0.2, visitor_request_limiter_tokens=60, visitor_seen=2025-02-06T09:19:26.984Z)

Edit 2: i seemed to have fixed that error by reinstalling ntfy and creating a config file with the base url. However I am still not recieving push notifications. Element still crashes/closes and stops running in the background. I have no idea how to fix this. I have seen mentions of ‘ip_range_whitelist’ variables not being set properly. However all the documentation that relates to that variable is only for synapse. I do not know if that same variable is applicable to dendrite. I cannot see it listed in the config file.
