After getting a notification on my phone nothing happens, the program doesn't show in the system tray so I can't check the battery

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a notification
2. Nothing happens


OBSERVED RESULT
After getting a notification on my phone nothing happens, the program doesn't show in the system tray so I can't check the battery.

Comment 1 David 2021-08-18 23:04:32 UTC
Uhh I'm sorry lol, KDE Connect actually shows in the system tray but it's almost the same color as the background so I didn't see it :(
Comment 2 brute4s99 2021-08-19 12:30:48 UTC
np, try the the windows store build or from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/kdeconnect-kde_Nightly_win64/
Comment 3 brute4s99 2021-08-19 12:31:33 UTC
and for the notifications, make sure focus assist is disabled.

I have it disabled, I installed the latest build from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/kdeconnect-kde_Nightly_win64/ and some features such as Send ping now work, which didn't with the Microsoft Store version. Idk if it's the same version and maybe reinstalling fixed it? no idea, anyways the notifications still don't show.

It's also enabled on the android app. Shows as Notification Sync (literally translated from spanish)

My phone is a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G if that helps.

Android?

Nope, all the phones I own and owned are Xiaomi, would an emulator work?
I found this while searching https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=165554 I have no idea how kde forums work but I assume if a "Manager" said it, must be true. 
I'll give u some specs in case u want to escalate the problem or smth.
MIUI ver: Global 12.0.6 Stable
Android: 9
Security patch: 2021-05-01 (yy-mm-dd)

I found a settings menu with "Special app permissions", notification access is a thing and KDE Connect isn't toggled by default, Your phone companion from Microsoft is. Even after enabling it nothing changes sadly :/ no notifications.

that's actually a problem we haven't gotten around to fix yet.. the
notification APIs for MIUI work differently and we mostly support the
Android spec APIs only. It's the same deal with Huawei devices as well
(contributions are always welcome though!)

What a shame, sadly I have no idea about coding so can't help much :( 
Good luck with the development ;) 
might consider installing a custom ROM just to use KDE Connect haha, ty anyways. Do i have to close the report or can you do that yourself?
Comment 9 brute4s99 2021-08-20 01:05:53 UTC
