Notification Service not running. A phone restart is required to Re-enable notifications......

Hi 

i get this message when i try to enable notifications.

Notification Service not running. A phone restart is required to Re-enable notifications on your tracker.

I have updated to the latest version of the android fitbit app on my phone. i have a blaze which is up to date.

I have tried re-starting, uninstall and re-install.

I'm using a Huawei on android 9.

any ideas?

cheers

Here's what works for me in Android 9:

1. Open Settings app.
2. Select Apps & Notifications
3. Select Special App Access
4. Select Notification Access
5. For Fitbit, I toggle it off. Then I toggle it back on.

No restart of phone necessary.

Hi,

I am also using the same Honor phone. I will tell you how to fix notification service not running on Android. It's just one step.

Just go to Settings > Apps in your Android phone.

Find Fitbit app there and click it.

Then click clear data/storage for fitbit app.

Done.

Now you have to login to your fitbit app again and your notification service will be running.

Notification services will work definitely.

I have found this workaround after making a huge search hunt on the internet.

Thank you. This worked perfectly for me after setting up my Versa 2 on a new phone.
