    • On your Huawei device go to Settings > Protected apps > check "My App" where.
    • On your Xiaomi make sure your phone has the "Auto-start" property enabled for your app.
    • On your Asus make sure the Auto-start manager of your phone has the "Auto-start" property enabled for your app

    These phones disables background services starting by default. You need to make sure that your push notification service is not being blocked by the manufacturer application, since you won't receive push notifications when app is closed if so.
