Why am I not receiving notifications from any of my home security cameras or door bell?

Why am I still not receiving notifications from any of my home security cameras or door bells?

We have contacted tech support and have already tried ALL the following:

Re-Register App Push Tokens (Most Effective Fix)

When notifications silently stop working for months, the connection between the Xfinity server and your phone's push notification service is usually broken.

  • Open the Xfinity App.

  • Navigate to the Security / Home tab.

  • Select your video doorbell or exterior camera, then tap the Gear / Settings icon.

  • Toggle all notification switches OFF (Doorbell Ring, Motion, People).

  • Force-close the Xfinity app, reopen it, and toggle the notifications back ON. (This forces Xfinity to create a fresh notification token for your device.)

Perform a Full App Reset

  • Log out of the Xfinity App completely.

  • Uninstall the app from your phone.

  • Restart your phone.

  • Reinstall the Xfinity App from the App Store / Google Play Store and log back in.

  • When prompted, make sure to grant full permission for Notifications and Background App Refresh.

Check Phone System Permissions

  • iOS: Go to Settings > Notifications > Xfinity $\rightarrow$ Ensure Allow Notifications, Sounds, and Badges are enabled.

  • Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Xfinity > Notifications $\rightarrow$ Ensure all notification channels are allowed and not set to "Silent" or restricted by battery saver modes.

Power Cycle the Hardware

A camera or doorbell can maintain live stream connectivity while its motion-triggering background service hangs.

  • Camera: In the Xfinity app, go to Camera Settings > Restart Camera. Alternatively, unplug the power adapter for 30 seconds.

  • Video Doorbell: Restart it via the app, or briefly turn off the circuit breaker powering your doorbell transformer for 1 minute.

Hi there, @user_b1nauq. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum and sorry to hear about the issue with not receiving home security notifications. It appears you've done some extensive troubleshooting. We would be happy to assist further. Can you let us know if you're still experiencing this problem, and if so, the model of your phone as well as the mobile OS version and XFINITY App version you have?

Hello Frank, THANK YOU for reaching out!  YES, this problem still is happening.  We even had an Xfinity technician come by the house on 8/12/26 and he couldn't figure it out either and supposedly is talking to his supervisor, but we haven't heard back/anything.  He did also verify that all of our phone settings were accurate for both me and my husband and for both our OS and the Xfinity app.  He also replaced our hub with a new hub and nothing has fixed it.

I have an iPhone 16 pro 26.6 iOS version and all settings have been confirmed a number of different times by a number of different xfinity employees.  My husband and I both have Xfinity app version 6.8.0.

Can you please help with this problem?  We really need to know when someone rings our doorbell, etc!  Thank you!
