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

    It’s been a constant thorn in my side on my Pixel 4 XL, my Pixel 6 Pro, and now my Pixel 8 Pro.

    I confirmed with a friend that it still occurs on her Pixel 9 Pro XL.

      I use gesture navigation on mine, no buttons at all. I also use Nova launcher (with updates blocked because they just got bought by an ad company). Never had a problem!

        It depends on how often and how quickly you use the task switch button. I use it to rapidly switch between two apps frequently by double tapping the button and trigger it multiple times a day still. Google still recognizes it as an open bug.

        To note, this occurs with the three button layout, so the fact that you’re not having a problem is expected.

        I’ll only switch from the three button layout if I’m forced to. The gesture based navigation is slower and less precise.

          I’m glad you intuited that I meant “gesture” navigation - had an autocorrect problem. There’s a bug I’ve seen for years where, when swiping back to home, the screen is unresponsive to taps for like a half second. Maybe that’s related? Apparently it’s more noticeable with third party launchers like mine.

            I’ll have issues after taking a screenshot and navigating back - I just get a non-responsive black screen sometimes except for the navigation buttons. Those are partially unresponsive, and I have to tap them chaotically to get rid of the black screen.

            I think the whole Android system navigation has been broken since Google started rolling it into the Pixel Launcher.
