Delayed notifications are one of the most enduring issues with Google Pixel phones, and Google seems to be aware of the issue.

They still haven't fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

It's a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won't be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

I feel like it's been downhill since Jelly Bean.

I kept my Incredible for over a decade, rooted it at a boring job within weeks of buying it and kept trying builds from a dev forum, kept a few on a sd and had clockwork.

I had one job that required 4, so before leaving I'd back up, then wipe, then install the 4.x build with their app on it.

At the end of the day I'd wipe and restore the 3.x build I was using, by the time I got home it was back to the way it was.

This is what I want in a phone again, not hide and seek with predatory data companies. Not only that, but it was fun and I learned things.

With the Pixel phones, there's GrapheneOS. It might be my go-to one day.

I have GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I experience this notification issue.

Right - I wasn't suggesting that it would fix the notification issue, just that it might give the previous commenter the Android environment they're looking for.
