I dont have GMS installed but i dont have issues with any notifications, what ver of the software are you using?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
it works man, trust me, both playstore and push notifications (tested with app tester too) and even NFC payments are working.

As some user above said, at the end you need to get a play protect error notification , you manually go and disable that notification and that's it.

I didin't noticed any problem from disabling that notification ,everything works now as my old sammy .

The guy above said when he done it the second time that he didin't got the play protect error, i got it 2 times and when i did it on my friend's p40 pro he got it too but everything on his phone works too so getting that play protect error is the key as i see it.

The only reason i reseted my phone 2 times is because i confused play protect notification with the other spamming notifications.

On my friend's phone i didin't even need to reset his phone, i uninstalled his playstore, play services and framework from some old method, then i did the video i mentioned skipping the google login part.

[MENTION=332085]jakes[/MENTION]lam why would you give up on push notifications and NFC payments for a simple error that can easily be hidden with no issues?makes no sense to me really.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] mercuryin:
Can you please confirm this method you linked is working for push notifications and nfc payments ? I followed a method from a Austrian guy and my phone is working fine, with play store, banks apps, etc. but not working for Google Pay and some push apps like protonmail. If you confirm it works, any easy way to follow the method you linked, ( the Portuguese youtuber ) but without resetting the phone ? Thanks
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
It's not a simple error. Two types of errors. First type is "device isn't certified" for security error. It appeared in different places. For instance, when Gmail is launched, it may flick and then disappear -- couldn't be launched. But if I tried several times, it may eventually open. I then could read. But if I tried to compose or reply, the dreadful device error would appear. Composing simply was blocked. Google apps like Gboard, Fit simply couldn't been launched. Then for many other apps, such as Duo mobile, Twitter that could be launched and used, errors will appear every time. GMS either complained the device issue, or asked for action, or both.

Those errors were so annoying. Living with them is a nightmare. I had to turn off notifications for any app that I use often to prevent error messages. But turning off notification couldn't eliminate those messages. :(:(
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
i've installed gmail , gmail seems to be working exactly like google maps, 1 warning when you open it( no notification error since i disabled it for play protect) , you click ok and is all good, push notifications working too.

The rest of the apps (some of them) gave that warning ONCE then they never did and working perfectly fine. I'm guessing it depends of each user too. For example i use google drive and got no warning .

Basically in my situation i get this warning only on maps which i use like once a month maybe so is really good for me given that i win push notifications NFC and playstore at the same time.

[MENTION=683873]mercuryin[/MENTION] i've already confirmed that is working, i paid today for the second time with NFC and no issue. I use protonmail too as my main email push notifications are working now. Read what i said above how to install without hard reset.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
Geolocalization seems don't work well, i have different results in all map app like GMap. The precision is almost gone!

What is your exact procedure

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Yeah, this is a big problem!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Can you compose new emails or reply? For Gmail, I could read, but cannot do either. Google drive worked for me too.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
why would gps not work lol ,has nothin to do with it, it works perfectly fine just tested it again indoor, go in open area maybe.

my exact procedure is like in that youtube video i posted yesterday , on my friend's phone since i was already familiar with the method i didint hard reset it, i uninstalled playstore, playservices and google framework then once again fallowed the video except that i skipped the google login part since his google account was already linked to his phone.

at the end, same, got a play protect notification error, turned it off then everything works fine from then. Facebook and others for example warned me once about google services, hit OK then never bothered me again. Google drive never warned me along with most of my apps. Gmail and maps seems to warn you everytime you open them but after hitting OK all is good.

edit:

maps has about 15m accuracy indoor and 5 m outdoor so all good

gmail seems the only one acting annoying, the warning appeared when i hit the compose option too but then again all worked fine, i could send an email to myself, fortunately for me i find protonmail much better especially privacy wise.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
On the playstore search bar. On your right side. Did it show your Google account icon or an Exclamation mark?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
i'm not sure, it think it doesn.t, it shows the letter that my account start with which is l so no exclamation mark

still have no idea why NFC payments work now, i was 100% sure my bank needs to release another app that uses huawei services to work and that will never pass that google safety check maybe fixing notifications fixes nfc too? i have no idea
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] brumguy_c:
I took the plunge with the Icebox method, and i have an existing Samsung S9+ running along side my P40 Pro with the same Google accounts logged in to compare notifications. My findings for my installed apps are as follows: Currently running HSF and GSF + Icebox

GMail - Can use it - in light mode only, cannot change theme to dark, no notifications

Outlook - works flawlessly with my Gmail accounts

Sky News - All good here.

BBC News - Lose their own notification tone, but works as it should

Reddit - All good. No Issues

Twitter - No issues

Youtube - Works, no issues

Google Drive - Works, no issues

Google Photos - Works, no issues

Google - OK/hey Google unavailable. Auto reverted to dark theme to match system. Lack of Ok/hey Google poss down to version of GSF installed?

Netflix - Current version running, but only in SD

Ive seen some people having issues with home automation apps, for this i use:

Netatmo

Govee

Hue

Magic Home

ihc

Nighthawk

EweLink

All of which run without issue. Notifications are rare, so i cannot confirm if that aspect works or not, but all apps perform as they should.

Some i was not originally getting notifications for. A quick uninstall, then re-install via Aurora Store sorted this.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] arkoudi:
Guys, I cannot understand why my P40 Pro behaviour is completely different. The method works 100% for GMS installing. I don't have any problem with annoying messages etc. But the Push Notification still is not working.

I reset the phone 4 times and I started all over again. Every time same results. My software version is 10.1.0.131

Any suggestions?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
really don't know, i did myself the method twice because 1st time i confused the play protect notification with the annoying ones and didin't know i could disable

then i did it on my friend's phone and same behavior as mine

the fact that you dont get the play protect notification to disable is most likely the sign of push notifications not working, did you tried NFC payments too?my banking app was giving me an error when trying to activate nfc payments and after this method all went smooth.

my phone is running 10.1.0.136 C432E8R4P1 maybe thats why, try hisuite for software update, i noticed you can update there faster and retry .
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] brumguy_c:
I would suggest:

1. Factory reset

2. Install GSF using this method: --> I cannot post URL's, but visit Youtube, and bang this on the end: /watch?v=wRNnLInoSmw

3. Icebox

4. Install Apps
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
because your gsf is active. disable it using ice box or multitool for huawei (update after you install it). but your play store will inactive.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
how do you explain then that my push notifications and playstore work at the same time without using ice box?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
well, i am guessing your gsf actually isn't "active properly". why? Because you still got the play store error notification and you disabled it. like you said :o. You may check it in facebook. try to Check In and click arrow sign on the top right. tell me what you got. And also if you have your p40 pro on your hand right now. On the playstore search bar. On your right side. Did it show your Google account icon or not?"

You may check the difference of gsf active properly or not on your ytube video reference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAxj0FYgwoY). See the difference on right side play store search bar. On 14:37 (First phase/first GSF ID generatet) only show our first letter of google account and gsf is not active "properly" or fully registered yet (sorry if my term was incorrect). On 22:34 (Second phase/second GSF ID generated) it show picture/icon of our google account. gsf is already active "properly".

Based on my experiences, this is what happens on each phase :

- On 14:37 (First phase/first gsf id generated), Error notification keep coming. Work = Play Store and Push Notification. May or may not = Location Service (gps and maps).

- On 22:34 (Second phase/second gsf id generated), Error notification is gone. Work = Play Store and Location Service. Not work (and i am sure there is no way it will work at least for now) = Push Notification.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
on 22 34 it shows his account picture, i haven't uploaded any pic so obviously it wouldn't show, it was never shown on my s10 either., when i click on it i see my account and everything works fine

i can assure you push notifications work, nfc payment works, maps are working perfectly fine, even used it today in real world(just showing 1 time warning when i enter it) , other apps showed that warning only ONCE then never again

gmail seems to be showing that warning more times but doesnt affect me since i dont use it

when i used icebox method with some older method i had google installed, it was passing the notification test but in reality they weren't working for me, now i pass the test and they work too and my friend's p40 pro behave exactly the same

let's make it clear, i didint stopped those annoying poping up notifications, i dont even think you can, i just disabled 1 type ( play protect) that's it and besides those few special cases with the warnings all is good and works properly

check attachments, i've uploaded some screenshoots
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] firlando:
Try this if you have notification issue, this is an OLD trick unpublished before because of Playstore not Working, but many people ask me to make the tuts on youtube.

NOTE : Since Google/Huawei Block GMS on Early March I always use Multi-Tools 8 to disable GSF

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/sE_PTaQJzFk[/YOUTUBE]
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
First of all don't get me wrong bro. Lol. Someone who have succeeded first phase will get what your picture showed. It will still show some error notification including play protect. Of course we can disabled it. If we proceed to second phase and get the second gsf id successfully, there is no more ANY error pop up. Play store + Google location servicr work perfectly. But not push notifications. There is only one way to get push notifications. Stop the gsf app (my friend Firlando on previous post have excellent tutorial for that)

or just do stop on first phase on this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAxj0FYgwoY. You may get maps works fine.

There's a way to check it bro. Check In on facebook and push arrow on the top right side or put any pictures on your Google account. If it shows up on your play store and you get the list of places nearby on your facebook then you're very lucky man.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] firlando:
Maps/Gmaps has No issue using my method, even Gojek Grab ETC work fine.

https://youtu.be/sE_PTaQJzFk
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
Yes suhu ;). I did just like your video tutorial since friday. gmap + push notif + go ride/car + Grab work flawlessly. (btw doi yg ane quote diatas ngira dia brhasil dpt gsd id ke 2 skaligus push notif lancar. Pdhal smpe skrg suhu sndri kan blm nemu triknya, lol. Takutnya reader yg lain salah tngkap bs dpt gsf id ke 2 skalgus push notif lancar. kl kyk gtu ajaib bgt dong. bkal sm kyk mp30p sblm april :fingers-crossed:)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
if i'd stop there there would be much more notifications than play protect that you can't even disable
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
Can you do me a favor bro? :laugh:: I am just wondering about Facebook check in and Google account picture. You can insert the picture on pc and play store should be updated it in seconds.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] firlando:
Actually Method 1 already solve the notification issue but another problem appears hahahah lol the MAP not working (all maps) so hard to make it perfect

the method 2 I think the perfect one, since we need Playstore only for the beginning setting up the Phone.

so i can not release method 3 to public

susah dhab buat dapet sempurna di GMS tar gak lama lagi entah google atau Huawei nya ngeblock lagi
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
i added a profile pic on my desktop but still showing a letter on both desktop and playstore too. EDIT : i checked 20 mins later and the profile pic shows on both playstore and maps ( playstore is not working now because of gframework being disabled)

just a small update, i disabled my google framework with huawei multi tool, the warnings from maps, gmail, etc are gone now but obviously i can't use playstore now. Maps is working fine along with push notifications and nfc payments look fine too
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
Thanks for what you just did. just like i did days ago. Disable Google framework will stop the error notif. Playstore frozen. See my attachment. My google account pic shows there because gplay frozen but when unfrozen only the first letter of my account . maps and push notifications works fine. sadly i cant test nfc payment. Hopefully mr Firlando will find the new workaround :fingers-crossed:

yes method 2 is the most satisfying for me right now.

eh iya yg method 1 yg mn ya suhu? jdul videonya apa? hehehehe

after few days research with [MENTION=2541873]nhoccon[/MENTION] and discuss to use GMSMOD1
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Diabling GSF appears better than using icebox. I haven't done either yet as I am content so far with a working GMS that doesn't support push notifications. I will try this approach if push notifications become more important.

Thanks for sharing!

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

With my current working GMS, if I follow this approach disabling GSF, and late on re-enabling GSF, will GMS work fully again? I know the gist of this approach is using Aurora for app search /update. I already have Aurora installed as well.

Thanks.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] AnthonyParryUK:
I found that once you enable or defrost GSF then the Google Play Services error and Play Protect messages come back pretty quick even when prior to freezing GSF it was working perfectly (no errors or GMS notifications). The first few times i defrosted i then rolled back all the install files for enabling GSM until working again and then froze GSF again. But i soon realised that if you just freeze or disable GSF then they just go away anyway and there seems to be no negative effect. The only reason i went into Play store was to download updates to beta versions of apps that Aurora didnt seem to do. I realised that if i signed into Aurora with my Google account then it did beta updates no problem, can even download paid apps if i buy through the Google Play website first. Now I just don't bother unfreezing at all. Obviously there's the risk that Google could block Google accounts used via Aurora, for me it's minimal as I dont rely on my G account for anything other than apps and i havent invested in so many paid apps I'd be upset if it all went wrong. I couldn't find anything online where someone had access to google removed from using the Aurora store, but obviously if you use your google account to manage your life then it is a risk.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Anthony,

Have you used both methods: disabling and ice-boxing? I don't want to delete Google account which is a required action to initiate icebox approach.

Is Aurora access reliability a concern? I got "Failed to build API" error today repeatedly. I use anonymous account as my Google account is quite important to me. I cannot add another Google account.

Thanks!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] AnthonyParryUK:
I have just used the Ice box method as it works fine for me. There's no need to go the full hog and delete the google account, use the Simple ADB method to enable Icebox - Yeah it means when ever you want to freeze/defrost you have to plug into a pc and run ADB - but realistically doing that is 2 mins and it's rare you'd need to.

I haven't had any errors with Aurora not loading so far and there's plenty of other ways to get APK files so it's no biggie even if it goes down for a prolonged period.

Aurora works fine with anon mode, but obvs no customisation with beta apps or paid apps access this way. If needing these could you create a 'burner' gmail account that you just use for access to Aurora?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Today Aurora has trouble log in anonymous. I will try some burner account. By the way, did you delete the big "G" app after installing GMS and Google play store. I am not sure if I can delete it.

Thanks.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] AnthonyParryUK:
Once you've got everything installed yeah delete the G app. Not needed for day to day running of phone + GMS.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Anthony,

Thanks! I will delete the G.

A related question, which I posted on another thread and didn't get answer. Can Google Play Service be updated? Will an update bring back error popping? I checked its version and found its not the newest one. But Google Play Store is the most recent version -- not sure if it's self updated or not.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] klebengan:
DON'T update since it will overwrite the gms core modded.

Klebengan,

Thanks a lot for the information!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sheikgr:
Which are the "annoying ones"?

I was using for about a week the GMS+HMS+Icebox configuration, everything fine except from location which doesn't work at all on Google Maps and some other apps(HERE maps works).

I tried and unfrosted the Google Services Framework and after some minutes the Play Protect notifications begun coming continuously. But everything else works ok, even NFC, location,PUSH notifications everywhere etc.

So I am wondering what do you mean by the Play Protect notifications and the "annoying" notifications. Isn't this the same thing?

So to sum up, the most COMPLETE method is after disabling GSF with Icebox in order to get PUSH notifications working, re-enable it through Icebox and you keep everything working, push, location,nfc payments with banking apps and you get back the annoying Play Protect notifications which you can go and disable them through notification settings(at Google Mobile Services just disable the Play Protect channel)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
Firlando's method of disabling GSF is an alternative to using icebox. Both will bring back push notifications. I haven't tried either yet.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] andruala:
I have tried icebox method and Firlando's method for disabling google service framework, and the push notifications started to work again, BUT now i can't use my gps.Not even in gmaps, gmaps from browser, or any apps that gives me my coordinates.

Did anyone know how to fix this?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sheikgr:
I had the same problem. Just re-enable google services framework. Push notifications will stay good and working but the annoying google play protect notifications will begin. Just slide let on the notification, go to settings and select Play Protect and turn it off.

You will now have push notifications working, nfc payments working, and no annoying notifications.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] mercuryin:
I can have everything working fine with all push notifications but not play store and not google pay, if I re-enable google services framework still have push notifications but no gps and same problem with nfc payments. I dont mind google play store, but what I would like to have working now is google pay.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
maybe this is unrelated but my p40 pro is showing from time to time the gps icon. I started disabling apps with location access to the point i disabled all and STILL shows, i'm afraid these methods had some sort of malware. How can something possibile access my location when all apps are blocked . I even went to location settings and disabled everything from there too la wifi scanning and others.

Did anybody noticed this? Anyone knows how can i see in real time which app tries to get my location?

i did noticed there are some system apps that always have access to location which i find pretty stupid since they work fine with gps is turned off too, i don't see why we are forced to allow them, one of those apps could be the problem
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] fromiOS2Android:
P40 with GMS and Aurora and GSF freeze - Working

I would like to share my setup.

I found a guide to install GMS. The normal error from GSF is there all the time.

I then get into playstore, downloaded some apps.

Then i freeze the GSF with huawei multi tool 8.

Now i can find all the apps i need inside Aurora and apkpure.

I use nova launcher so i could not get nova launcher prime (premium) that is in the play store.

I then enable the GSF again, get the apps i need from play store and freeze GSF again.

This is now resulting in a 99,9% working P40 pro. I have notifications on ALL APPS, premium apps that i have paid for.

Google maps, Google Duo, Google home and all of my norwegian apps are now working as normal 100 %

The reason for 99,9% is that my Google Pay is not working. This is so far the ONLY app i can not get to work.

Finally my huawei p40 pro is as close to normal as possible and i have no what so ever any glitches in my daily use.

I am very happy with my handset now, and if anyone finds out of google pay then please share information.

Regards, Kenneth - Norway
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
It seems to me that GSF doesn't even need to be frozen - more so it just depends where the app is installed from. If it is installed from the aurora store, push works. If from the play store, push may not.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
This is not true. Tried several apps from Aurora. Still no push notification.
