i´ve searched a lot but nothing helped in case of my Problem that i have with notifications.
I´m running a local Server on Java 8 on RPI Zero W and communicating with the Server trough an ESP32 via Wifi. Server Version is server-0.41.10-java8.jar and Blynk app on two Android devices is 2.27.10.
I added the notification widget with following Settings:
Notify when Hardware goes offline “on”
Offline Ignore Period “Instant”
Priority “High”
The App Options for Notifications in Android are all allowed and i turned off every automatic energy Management.
In my Code i added a Blink.notify in an if-case directly after Blynk.virtualwrite.
If the case is true the VirtualWrite works great but then it appears a message that my device disconnected and one second later it connects again. It seems that the notification blocks something and i have no idea anymore how i get it to work.
I will post the necessary parts of the code because it is a big project and i´m working in Tabs in Arduino IDE.
void Blynk_TimerEvent()
{
if (pinValueV8 == 1) {
Blynk.virtualWrite(V16, 1); //Schalter Frostwächter Frischwasser
//Blynk.notify("Yaaay...Wasserpumpe ist an");
}
else {
Blynk.virtualWrite(V16, 0); //Schalter Frostwächter Frischwasser
//Blynk.notify("Ohhhh...Wasserpumpe ist ausk");
}
}
In Setup and Loop Tab there is:
void setup() {
Blynk.config(auth, server, port); // non-blocking, even if no server connection
Blynk.connect();
timer.setInterval(1000L, Blynk_TimerEvent);
}
void loop() {
Blynk.run();
timer.run();
}
Tab for global things

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
// defines pins numbers Ultrasonic
const int trigPin = 23;
const int echoPin = 22;
// defines variables Ultrasonic
long duration;
int distance;

not sure if it is the cause of the issue, but you are sending a virtual write command and a notification every second.
Maybe add a flag so they are only sent if pinValueV8 changes. It may not be such an issue with the virtual write command, but maybe with the notification.
Do you have the disconnection issue with the notification commented out?
Yes you are right, i will add a flag for the notification. I have no issues when commenting out the notification.
Edit: I didn´t added a flag. I changed the code and added it in my write Tab so it will do it only if i change the state of the button.
// This function will be called every time a Widget or Button
// in Blynk app writes values to the Virtual Pin
BLYNK_WRITE(V1)
{
pinValueV1 = param.asInt(); // assigning incoming value from pin V1 to a variable
// process received value
}
BLYNK_WRITE(V8)
{
pinValueV8 = param.asInt(); // assigning incoming value from pin V8 to a variable
// process received value
if (pinValueV8 == 1) {
Blynk.virtualWrite(V16, 1); //Schalter Frostwächter Frischwasser
Blynk.notify("Yaaay...Wasserpumpe ist an");
}
else {
Blynk.virtualWrite(V16, 0); //Schalter Frostwächter Frischwasser
Blynk.notify("Ohhhh...Wasserpumpe ist aus");
}
}
Have you checked your server logs?
Messaging uses the GCM - http.googleapis.com service. If you see any log entries about this then that will be a clue about your issue.
My logs seems crazy. With ls -l in home/Blynk/logs the changedate of the logfile is one month ago? In these logfiles are no entrys with GCM. Are these the correct logfiles?
In logs is blynk.log, postgres.log, stats.log, worker.log
Very strange things happen. In my Server.properties i changed log Level to debug but there are no new logs created. I also tried different log Locations. Also my attached RTC to the Pi had a time drift this morning for about 3hours. Now the RTC is still available with i2detect but i cant read or write the time anymore.
I will Setup the Pi new this Weekend and i will inform you of the result when i finished. Hopefully the notifications will work then.

This information should be added to the blynk docs. Not everybody is confirm with the Google Cloud Messaging or knows how push notifications works in general.
Maybe Blynk is able to use normal notifications in the future?! Is it possible to generate a request?
Blynk is an IoT system, and as such it expected that it will be connected to the Internet.
Yes, some people use a local server in a closed environment, but in that situation it should be expected that some functionality will dork differently, or not at all.
I don’t think that there is a messaging system that will work with both Android and iOS which will meet your needs, but if you are aware of one then you could submit your idea here:
You should be aware that the developers are currently working hard on Blynk V2, and (at least in the initial release) this will be 100% cloud based. The option to install a local server version may follow later (or not).
I have the same problem on my own blynk server. It is connected to internet and everything works just fine except for the notifications. If i send a notification [Blynk.notify(“TEST”);] i don’t receive anything on my pixel 4a Android phone.
The Blynk version is v0.41.16.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thank you very much!
That was the problem. I changed to 0.6.1 and it is working now…
Should have posted this earlier, spend a lot of time trying to fix this.
Is that documented? I could not find anything about that on the internet.
