Xfinity home app not pushing phone notifications
The Xfinity home app has stopped sending the pop-up notifications
I already checked permissions, deleted all data and install/uninstalled the app
Phone is Samsung Galaxy S25 with One UI 8.5

Same. I think it must have started a couple of weeks ago but I'm not positive.

Let’s run through a few things to help get them working again:
Settings > Notifications > Xfinity Home > Allow notifications
If everything looks good there, also make sure you’re running the latest version of the Xfinity Home app, as updates can resolve issues like this. If you’re still not receiving notifications after this, let us know. We’re happy to dig deeper with you. 👍

I pay to much for this bill this has been a issue for almost a month with new correction in place im contacting the better business bureau as this company should be providing some type of credit for the inconvenience

Everyone in my household are no longer getting the push notifications when the house is alarmed or disarmed. We get the text alerts when the alarm is triggered but nothing else. This was something changed on the side of the application and not the user's. This needs to be escalated. Review the code from a month ago to today. That's about how long ago this had been going on, maybe longer.

Same issue here. Thought it was something with my Android phone but clearly there's a bug with the latest update and it has nerf'd notifications.

It has been months since I received an notifications on from my Home App which means that the system is useless if I am away from home. You all need to escalate the problem with your Android app programmers. Fix it ASAP!

I have been having this issue for many months now and Xfinity can't seem to figure it out. It's been bad enough that I am not notified when my alarm system has been tripped, but now I don't even get the armed/ disarmed notifications. For years the app would blare a loud alarm and the screen would flash red until the alarm was cancelled, but now I get nothing. I don't understand why this cannot be rectified. I have the latest version of Xfinity Home, I have all notifications enabled, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and I have cleared all data and cache. I use a Samsung S22 running Android 16. Please figure this out. A home security app that doesn't notify me that my home has been compromised is pretty useless.

Do you have any tracking item on this issue?
Is there any real work being done to resolve this BREAKING ISSUE?
My post is from back in MAY, by now I can only think the app has been abandoned.

Is Xfinity ever planning to fix this? If not, please let your customers know so that we can purchase a different system like Ring or Simplisafe.

Are there any updates on this issue? I've reached out to Xfinity 3-4 times about it already and all I get is "our engineers are working on it and they will reach out to you to assist". But nothing has been fixed. The whole point of a security system and door sensors is for us to get the notifications of any sensors opening, closing, or alarm being armed/disarmed. If it's not doing it's basic functions then what's the point of paying for this? It's been 3 months already. A fix should have been found by now. Also, of you're not providing the full functionality of it, why are we being charged full price?

This is an issue with Android only. I have not gotten notifications for my camera or home system for months now either. My iPhone and pad devices work fine. It's pretty important and I'm amazed it hasn't been fixed yet

This issue is still persisting, is the appp going to get fixed and updated? Is there a global fix that the customers need to apply on android? This is getting frustratingly long.

It is becoming very clear that Xfinity does not care to fix this issue. Even their own mobile Android customers are not receiving notifications :(

So the tech just left and the song remains the same. No notifications coming to my S22 still. We installed the Xfinity Home app on his iPhone and wouldn't ya know it, he got every notification. He scrubbed the issue through ChatGPT and we turned off power saving, changed nothing. He said it's definitely an android app specific issue. I hope a resolution is found soon. I would like to know if my home gets broken into while I'm away.

Hi All - I'm sorry to hear that some folks are still having challenges with Push notifications.
I'm posting this as a possible solution/workaround as we continue to look into why some Android customers are not receiving push notifications. This solution involves using SMS Text Messages rather than push notifications.
First, make sure your Automation Contacts are up to date.
1) Open the Xfinity Home app and tap on More (three dots) at the bottom
2) Tap on Settings
3) Tap on Contacts
4) Scroll down to Automation Contacts
Now, edit or add any contacts who should receive Text Message notifications of events. Alarm messages (an alarm being triggered or cancelled) are automatically sent by text message and e-mail to all contacts listed in the Automation Contacts section.
To receive text messages for other (non-alarm) events, add Notification Rules:
1) Open the Xfinity Home app and tap on Automation at the bottom
2) Tap on the Plus (+) sign at the top right
3) Tap on the Notifications tab
Here you can configure text message notifications to some or all of your Automation contacts.
As an example:
1) Choose "Notify me of security system activity."
2) A template will appear: "Receive a push notification when the system arms or disarms." Any part of the template that is underlined can be tapped on to edit.
3) Tap on "push notification" to change the template to Text Message instead.
4) You will be able to select which contacts should receive the Text Messages.
5) You can also choose other settings, such as only being notified if the system doesn't arm during a certain time of the day, and which days of the week or times of the day messages should be sent.
6) Tap Add in the upper right to add and enable the Rule
Similar Rules can be configured for sending text messages on Door and Window and motion sensor activity. As an example, if you expect the door to open at 3pm every day when the kids get home from school, you can configure a text message to send when the door doesn't open between 2:50pm and 3:10pm.
More information on Rules can be found here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/add-change-rules-mobile-app-secure
Also, as a quick reminder, Camera Notifications are configured through the Xfinity app (not the Xfinity Home app).
