Problem with push notifications (on RPi - WiringPi)

[petit_miner]

hey guys,
I have problems with the push notifications example sketch. I cloned the newest github library and build the library on my raspberry pi. I wrote this simple program to send me a notification when the Blynk program gets started on my raspberry pi.

#define BLYNK_PRINT stdout

#ifdef RASPBERRY
 #include <BlynkApiWiringPi.h>
#else
 #include <BlynkApiLinux.h>
#endif
#include <BlynkSocket.h>
#include <BlynkOptionsParser.h>

static BlynkTransportSocket _blynkTransport;
BlynkSocket Blynk(_blynkTransport);
#include <BlynkWidgets.h>



void setup()
{
  delay(100);
  // Notify immediately on startup
  Blynk.notify("Device started!!");
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  const char *auth, *serv;
  uint16_t port;
  parse_options(argc, argv, auth, serv, port);

  Blynk.begin(auth, serv, port);

  setup();
  while(true) {
    loop();
  }

  return 0;
}

The Blynk program starts succesfully:

[1]
    ___  __          __
   / _ )/ /_ _____  / /__
  / _  / / // / _ \/  '_/
 /____/_/\_, /_//_/_/\_\
        /___/ v0.5.0-beta on Linux

but after that nothing happens, I don’t get any notifications, but my raspberry pi is listed as “online”.
After a few seconds my raspberry pi is listed as “offline”.
Could you please help me?

I now switched from 0.5.0-beta to 0.4.10, because this version is listed as stable but unfortunately the issue still exist

@petit_miner

but after that nothing happens

But… What’s it supposed to do? I don’t have an RPi myself, but your code kinda looks like the “system default” sketch which does … nothing!

Check out https://examples.blynk.cc/

yes it is the default sketch, but I want to first test the push notification command.
I added Blynk.notify in the setup function, but the notification never reaches my smartphone (Android).
Interestingly I get a message whenever I close the Blynk sketch. (Offline warning)
I tried the notification interval sketch but unfortunately the sketch doesn’t compile:

main.cpp: In function ‘void notifyUptime()’:
main.cpp:25:37: error: ‘String’ was not declared in this scope
   Blynk.notify(String("Running for ") + uptime + " minutes.");
                                     ^
Makefile:70: recipe for target 'main.o' failed
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

  Connect a button to pin 2 and GND...
  Pressing this button will also push a message! ;)

but the notification never reaches my smartphone (Android).

Have you installed the latest App version? there were some prior (and heavily mentioned in this forum) notification issues that have since been resolved.
