Many Android users report that the Binance APP often fails to receive push messages such as price alerts, transaction completion notifications, and security warnings, only discovering that previous limit orders were filled or the market had fluctuated significantly after opening the APP. The root of this problem is almost always the Android system's power-saving optimization mechanism killing the Binance process in the background. Domestic Android customized systems (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, etc.) manage background applications very aggressively to extend battery life; once you lock the screen or switch to another app, Binance may be frozen or directly killed by the system within minutes. To solve this problem, it is necessary to set up a battery-saving whitelist and background persistence permissions for Binance at the system level. First, ensure your Binance APP is the latest version downloaded from the Binance official website, as older versions may have bugs in the push mechanism. If you haven't installed the Binance APP yet, you can get the latest Android installation package from the Binance official APP download page. Apple users encountering notification issues should handle them differently; please refer to the relevant instructions in the iOS installation tutorial. This article will explain the battery-saving whitelist settings for mainstream brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Samsung, Honor, and OnePlus one by one to help you thoroughly resolve the issue of Binance not receiving notifications.
Why the Android System Kills Binance in the Background
Understanding the cause of the problem helps in solving it more effectively. There are three main reasons why the Android system kills background apps:
Reason 1: Battery Optimization
All Android systems have battery optimization features (also known as Doze mode). When the phone is locked for a period, the system progressively restricts network access and CPU usage for background apps, which may eventually lead to freezing or killing the application process. Frozen applications cannot receive notifications pushed by the server.
Reason 2: Aggressive Battery Saving Strategies by Manufacturers
Domestic brands have added their own battery-saving strategies on top of Android's native Doze mode. For example, Huawei's "Launch Management," Xiaomi's "App Battery Saver," and OPPO's "Background Power Management" are much more aggressive than native Android and may even kill background applications due to memory pressure while the screen is on.
Reason 3: One-tap Clear
Many users have the habit of clicking "Clear All" in the recent tasks interface to release memory, which directly kills all background applications (including Binance). Even if you open the Binance APP afterward, the next full clear will kill it again.
Battery Saving Whitelist Setting Guide by Brand
Huawei/Honor Phones
The background management for Huawei and Honor is among the strictest of all brands and requires a full set of settings:
Setting 1: Launch Management
Settings > Battery > Launch Management > Find Binance > Disable "Manage automatically" > Manually enable the following three switches:
- Auto-launch
- Secondary launch
- Run in background
Setting 2: Battery Optimization
Settings > Battery > More battery settings > Find Binance > Select "Don't allow" (or "Not restricted").
Setting 3: Lock Background
Open the recent tasks interface > Find the Binance task card > Swipe down to lock (a lock icon appears).
Setting 4: Disable Power Saving Mode
If Power Saving Mode or Ultra Power Saving Mode is enabled, add Binance to the power saving mode whitelist or disable the mode when you need to receive notifications.
Xiaomi/Redmi Phones
Xiaomi's background management is also very strict:
Setting 1: App Battery Saver
MIUI Path: Settings > Battery & performance > App battery saver > Find Binance > Select "No restrictions."
HyperOS Path: Settings > Battery > App battery saver > Find Binance > Select "No restrictions."
Setting 2: Autostart Management
Settings > Apps > Manage apps > Find Binance > Enable Autostart.
Setting 3: Lock Background
Swipe up to open recent tasks > Find Binance > Long press or swipe down to lock.
Setting 4: Disable MIUI Optimization (Optional)
Developer options > MIUI optimization > Disable. Note: Disabling MIUI optimization may affect some system functions; please operate with caution.
OPPO/realme Phones
Setting 1: Background Running
Settings > Battery > More battery settings > Find Binance > Allow background running (or don't optimize).
Setting 2: Autostart Management
Settings > App Management > Autostart > Find Binance > Enable.
Setting 3: Lock Background
Recent tasks interface > Binance card > Swipe down or long press to lock.
Setting 4: Disable Smart Power Saving
Settings > Battery > Smart Power Saving > Disable (or add Binance to the whitelist).
vivo/iQOO Phones
Setting 1: Background Power Consumption Management
Settings > Battery > Background power consumption management > Find Binance > Allow high background power consumption.
Setting 2: Autostart
Settings > Apps and permissions > Autostart > Find Binance > Enable.
Setting 3: Lock Background
Recent tasks interface > Binance card > Lock.
Setting 4: Power Saving Whitelist
If Power Saving Mode is enabled, Settings > Battery > Power Saving Mode > Whitelist > Add Binance.
Samsung Phones
Samsung's background management is relatively relaxed but settings are still recommended:
Setting 1: Battery Optimization
Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Ensure Binance is not in the "Deep sleeping apps" and "Sleeping apps" lists.
Settings > Battery > Battery optimization > All apps > Binance > Don't optimize.
Setting 2 (Android 14+)
Settings > Apps > Binance > Battery > Unrestricted.
OnePlus Phones
For the domestic version (ColorOS), set according to the OPPO method. For the international version (OxygenOS), set according to the Samsung method (OxygenOS's background management strategy is similar to native Android).
Google Pixel
Pixel phones have the most relaxed background management and usually require no special settings. If issues arise:
Settings > Apps > Binance > Battery > Unrestricted.
What Else Needs to Be Checked Besides the Battery Saving Whitelist?
If notifications are still not received after setting up the battery saving whitelist, check the following items:
Notification Permissions
Confirm that notification permissions for the Binance APP are enabled. Setting paths by brand:
- Huawei/Honor: Settings > Notifications > App notifications > Binance > Enable all
- Xiaomi/Redmi: Settings > Notification Management > Binance > Enable all
- OPPO/realme: Settings > Notification and status bar > Manage notifications > Binance > Enable all
- vivo/iQOO: Settings > Notifications and status bar > App notification management > Binance > Enable all
- Samsung: Settings > Notifications > App notifications > Binance > Enable all
In-App Notification Settings in Binance
In addition to system-level notification permissions, the Binance APP itself has notification switches.
Open Binance APP > Avatar in top left corner > Settings > Notification settings (or Push Notifications).
Ensure the following options are enabled:
- Price Alert Notifications
- Trade Notifications
- Security Notifications
- Deposit/Withdrawal Notifications
Do Not Disturb Mode
Check if the phone has Do Not Disturb mode enabled. If so, add Binance to the Do Not Disturb whitelist.
Network Permissions
Ensure Binance has network access permissions for both WiFi and mobile data. Background apps need a network connection to receive server pushes.
System Time
Inaccurate system time may cause the push mechanism to fail. Ensure the phone's time is set to "Automatic."
Testing Whether Notifications Are Normal
After completing all the above settings, you can test whether notifications are working normally through the following methods:
Method 1: Set a Price Alert
Set a price alert in the Binance APP for a trading pair that will trigger immediately (e.g., set a BTC price alert $50 above or below the current price), then lock the screen and wait a few minutes to see if a notification is received.
Method 2: Perform a Small Transaction
Place a limit order close to the market price and check if a notification is received after the transaction is completed.
Method 3: Login Security Verification
Try logging into your Binance account on another device to see if the phone receives a security alert notification.
If notifications are still not received after testing, it may be due to the network environment causing the push channel to be obstructed. In some network environments, Google's FCM push service (one of the push channels Binance may use) may not function normally.
Avoiding the "Clear All" Habit
Many users have the habit of frequently clicking "Clear All," which is one of the most common reasons for missing notifications.
It is recommended to change this habit: instead of using "Clear All," manually swipe up on unwanted app cards to close them individually. This way, the locked Binance card will not be cleared.
If you indeed need to release memory, use the phone manager's "One-tap acceleration" feature and ensure Binance is not in the acceleration cleanup list.
Summary
The core reason why Android phones do not receive Binance notifications is that the system's battery-saving mechanism kills background processes. The solution is a three-step approach: first, set the battery optimization whitelist (not optimized/unrestricted); second, enable autostart permissions and lock the background; third, confirm that all notification permissions are enabled. Although the setting paths differ across brands, the logic is the same—tell the system, "This app is important, don't kill it." Once these settings are complete, Binance's price alerts, transaction notifications, and other pushes can be delivered normally.
