It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started.
FIX 1: Remove Battery Optimizations
In order to maintain an equilibrium between performance and battery, the OS automatically decides to optimize the battery usage of each app as it deems fit. While it does its job quite decently in many cases, but there have been a few instances wherein it tends to give a higher preference to the preservation of battery.
And when that happens, then app notifications are among the first ones to get affected by this. Therefore, you should consider removing these battery optimizations from the concerned apps and then check out the results.
- Head over to Settings > Battery > More Settings > Optimize Battery Use.
- Then choose the app which isn’t receiving notifications and select Don’t Optimize.
- Now check if it fixes the issue of notifications not working on OnePlus 11.
FIX 2: Enable Allow Background Activity
If you have implemented any battery restrictive measures in place, then it might prevent the app from receiving notifications when it is minimized or running in the background. Therefore, you should remove all those restrictions using the instructions given below and then check out the results.
- Head over to Settings > Battery > More Settings > App Battery Management.
- Now choose the app from the list and enable the toggle next to Allow Background Activity.
- Check if it fixes the issue of notifications not working on your OnePlus 11.
FIX 3: Pin App to Recent Apps

To counter this, you should pin the concerned apps to the Recent Apps screen so that they would stay there even if you use the Clear All functionality. Here’s how it could be done:
- First off, open the app which isn’t receiving notifications.
- Then minimize it and bring up the Recent Apps screen.
- Now tap on the overflow icon next to that app and select Lock.
