The push notification feature of the Binance app is crucial for traders. The timely delivery of price alerts, order execution notifications, and security alerts can directly impact your trading decisions and account security. If you find that push notifications from the Binance app are intermittent or you don't receive them at all, the problem usually lies in your phone system's notification permissions, battery optimization strategies, or network push channels. Android phones from different brands have vastly different notification management strategies. Domestic brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo impose heavy restrictions by default on the background running and push notifications of apps to save battery and optimize the user experience. This is the root cause why many users fail to receive Binance notifications on these brands' phones. Before troubleshooting, please ensure that your Binance app is the genuine client downloaded from the Binance official website, as modified third-party versions might have push-related components removed. Also, make sure you have installed the latest version of the Binance official APP, as older versions might use unsupported push channels. The push mechanism for Apple users is entirely different from Android. If you use an iPhone, please refer to the iOS installation guide and pay attention to the iOS-specific settings section in this article. This tutorial will detail how to configure your phone system by brand to ensure Binance app push notifications are delivered normally.
How Push Notifications Work
Android Push Mechanism
Push notifications on the Android system are mainly implemented through the following methods:
- Google FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging): Google's official push service, requiring Google Play services support.
- Manufacturer Push Channels: Huawei Push, Xiaomi Push, OPPO Push, vivo Push, etc., which do not rely on Google services.
- App's Own Long Connection: The app maintains a persistent connection with the server to receive pushes.
The Binance app usually uses multiple push channels simultaneously to ensure message delivery. But if the phone system restricts the app's background operation or network access, all push channels will fail.
iOS Push Mechanism
iOS uses the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) to uniformly manage pushes for all apps. Compared to Android, iOS pushes are more unified and reliable, but you still need to configure notification permissions correctly.
Universal Settings: In-App Push Settings
Before troubleshooting your phone's system settings, first confirm that the notification settings within the Binance app are enabled:
- Open the Binance app
- Click the "Profile" icon in the bottom right corner
- Click "Settings" (gear icon) in the top right corner
- Find "Push Notifications" or "Notification Settings"
- Confirm that the following options are enabled:
- Price alert notifications
- Trading notifications (order execution, open order status, etc.)
- Security notifications (login alerts, password changes, etc.)
- System notifications (maintenance announcements, event notifications, etc.)
If these options were turned off, simply turning them on should allow you to receive pushes.
Settings for Xiaomi/Redmi Phones
Xiaomi's MIUI system has very strict restrictions on background apps, making it a major culprit for not receiving push notifications.
Notification Permission Settings
- Go to "Settings → Notifications & Control Center"
- Find "Binance"
- Ensure the main "Show notifications" switch is turned on
- Turn on the following sub-options:
- Lock screen notifications: On
- Floating notifications / Banner notifications: On
- Allow sound: On
- Allow badges: On
Autostart Management
- Go to "Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Permissions → Autostart"
- Find "Binance" and turn on its autostart permission
- If you can't find it in the list, use the search in the top right corner
Battery Optimization Settings
- Go to "Settings → Battery & performance"
- Click the settings icon in the top right corner
- Select "App battery saver"
- Find "Binance" and select "No restrictions"
Background Locking
In the recent tasks interface:
- Open the Binance app
- Enter the recent tasks interface
- Long press or pull down the Binance app card
- Click the "Lock" icon (small padlock)
- Locked apps will not be cleared by the one-tap clean feature
Settings for Huawei/Honor Phones
Huawei's EMUI and HarmonyOS also have strict background management.
Notification Permission Settings
- Go to "Settings → Notifications"
- Find "Binance"
- Turn on "Allow notifications"
- Turn on "Banners", "Lock screen notifications", and "Sound"
App Launch Management
- Go to "Settings → Battery → App launch"

Battery Optimization
- Go to "Settings → Battery → More battery settings"
- Turn off the restrictions on Binance in "Smart power resolution"
- Or add Binance to the whitelist of apps that do not optimize battery
Huawei Special Notes
Newer Huawei phones do not support Google services, so Binance's FCM push channel is unavailable. However, Binance has adapted to Huawei Push, and normally you can receive notifications through Huawei's push channel. If you still don't receive them, please confirm that Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core) is updated to the latest version.
Settings for OPPO/Realme Phones
Notification Permission Settings
- Go to "Settings → Notification & Status Bar → Manage Notifications"

- Turn on "Priority display", "Lock screen", and "Banner"
Background Running Settings
- Go to "Settings → Battery"
- Click "More battery settings"
- Turn off "Sleep standby optimization" (if this option exists)
- Go to "Settings → App management"
- Find "Binance" → "Battery usage"
- Select "Allow background activity" and "Allow auto launch"
ColorOS Special Settings
OPPO's ColorOS added a "Quick Freeze" feature in higher versions, which might freeze apps that haven't been used for a long time:
- Go to "Settings → Battery → More battery settings"
- Find "Quick Freeze"
- Remove "Binance" from the quick freeze list
Settings for vivo/iQOO Phones
Notification Permission Settings
- Go to "Settings → Notifications & Status Bar → App notification management"

- Go to "Settings → Focus"
- Check each Focus mode you enable (like "Do Not Disturb", "Work", etc.)
- In each mode, confirm that "Binance" is added to the "Allowed Notifications" list
Background App Refresh
- Go to "Settings → General → Background App Refresh"
- Ensure the main switch is turned on
- Confirm the switch for "Binance" in the list is turned on
Other Reasons for Push Delays and Losses
Network Environment Impact
Push notifications rely on a network connection. The following situations may cause delays or losses:
- Weak or unstable WiFi signal
- Mobile data network congestion
- Using proxy tools might affect the stability of the push long connection
- Carrier's NAT timeout settings being too short (affecting long connection keep-alive)
Insufficient System Resources
When the phone's memory is low or the CPU load is high, the system may delay processing push messages. Keeping enough available memory on your phone (at least 500MB recommended) helps ensure pushes are delivered in a timely manner.
Verification After Setting Up
After completing the above settings, you can verify if pushes are working normally via the following method:
- Set a price alert in the Binance app (choose a price that will trigger very soon)
- Close the app (don't just minimize it; clear it from recent tasks)
- Wait for the price to trigger and observe if you receive a push notification
- If you still don't receive it, check if you missed a system setting item
Setting up push notifications is a one-time job, but note that phone system updates might reset some settings. Therefore, it is recommended to recheck the above configurations after every system update.
