Do You Really Need Clash of Clans Notifications? My Experience
I always turn on Clash of Clans notifications because, in my opinion, they are very, very important.
If you have notifications turned off, you won’t know what’s happening in the CoC world while you are away.
The CoC notification issues are not new – Reddit users (Redditors) have already had problems while trying to fix issues with Clash of Clans notifications.
In my case, I was unable to get notifications from CoC, but I managed to fix this error by updating Clash of Clans to the latest version (which also works to fix other problems, such as Clash of Clans emails not sending).
But the problem can be more complex than initially believed. For example, this user on One Plus Forums had more problems than CoC notifications not working – all their app notifications stopped working all of a sudden.
Therefore, it is important to approach this problem with caution, as the issue might be more complex than you think.
Why Are Clash of Clans Notifications Not Working?
Normally, Clash of Clans notifications tend to work just well.
But this is not always true – users on Android forums (Android Central) have reported issues with CoC notifications several times now. But why does this happen?
1. Notification Settings Modification
If you have altered notification settings for Clash of Clans in your device’s settings, accidentally disabled notifications, or changed them to be less intrusive, this could be a reason for notifications not coming through as expected.
2. In-Game Notification Preferences
Within the Clash of Clans app, you may have customized notification preferences or turned them off altogether. Checking the in-game settings for notification preferences is crucial to determine if this is causing the lack of notifications.
3. Clash of Clans Updates or Bugs
Updates to the Clash of Clans app may occasionally introduce bugs or issues with notifications. If you’ve recently updated the app and notifications stopped working thereafter, it’s possible that the update may have inadvertently affected the notification system.

3. Clear Clash of Clans Cache
Clash of Clans is one of the games I’ve played that accumulate the most cache files, which is annoying as hell!
The cache can sometimes accumulate outdated or corrupt data, which might interfere with the game’s ability to display notifications correctly. Here’s how to clear Clash of Clans cache:
1. To Clear Clash of Clans Cache For Android:
- Open Settings: Navigate to your device’s settings and find the “Apps” or “Applications” section.
- Find Clash of Clans: Scroll through the list of installed apps and find “Clash of Clans.”

- Select “Offload App:” Offload Clash of Clans.
- Check Notifications: Go back to the game and see if the notifications are working now.
4. Enable and Disable CoC Notifications
A trick that always works is to disable and enable app notifications. To enable and disable notifications for Clash of Clans, do this:
1. If You Have an Android Phone:
- Open your device’s settings.
- Navigate to “Apps” or “Applications.”
- Find and select “Clash of Clans.”
- Uncheck “Show Notifications” to disable notifications for Clash of Clans.
- Check “Show Notifications” to re-enable notifications for Clash of Clans.
2. If You Have an iPhone:
- Open your device’s settings.
- Scroll down and tap on “Clash of Clans.”
- Toggle off the switch for “Allow Notifications” to disable notifications.
- Close the Clash of Clans app completely by swiping it away from the recent apps or force-closing it.
- Toggle on the switch for “Allow Notifications” to enable notifications.
3. Check Clash of Clans Notifications:
- Open Clash of Clans and perform actions that would trigger notifications, such as attacks, upgrades, or messages.
- Enabling and disabling notifications essentially refreshes the notification settings for Clash of Clans. This action can clear any potential glitches or conflicts in the notification system, allowing the app to properly register your preferences for notifications and ensure they work as intended.
5. Check Your Phone’s Notification Settings
Sometimes, issues with Clash of Clans notifications can be related to general notification settings on your phone.
In this case, this is what you have to do:
1. Check Silent Mode: Make sure your phone is not in silent or “Do Not Disturb” mode, which can prevent notifications from being audible or visible. Toggle the physical sound switch or adjust the sound settings to ensure your phone is in normal sound mode.
2. Check Notification Volume: Ensure that the notification volume on your phone is turned up and not muted. Adjust the notification volume to an appropriate level.
3. Test Notifications with Other Apps: Open a different app that you know sends notifications (e.g., messaging app, email app). Send a test message or trigger an action that would generate a notification in that app.
4. Verify Other Apps’ Notifications: Confirm that notifications are working as expected for the other app. If notifications are functioning properly for other apps, proceed to the next step.
5. Check Clash of Clans Notifications: Open Clash of Clans and perform actions that would trigger notifications, such as attacks, upgrades, or messages. Confirm whether notifications within Clash of Clans are now working as intended.
6. Reinstall Clash of Clans
Reinstalling the app ensures that you have a fresh and up-to-date installation, which can resolve various software-related problems.
Reinstalling Clash of Clans can help you fix the notifications issue, so try this out:
1. To Reinstall Clash of Clans For Android:

7. Factory Reset Your iPhone or Android
At this point, you might as well consider a full factory reset to get rid of notification bugs on Clash of Clans.
However, it’s important to note that a factory reset should be considered as a last resort, as it erases all data on your device and sets it back to its original factory settings
