I am using Twitter App v3.0.1 on Android v2.3.3. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S2 (GTI9100) on Vodafone India

The problem I am facing is that I am unable to get instantaneous push notifications for new Tweets. I am not interested in push for DMs and @mentions, I want push for new tweets.

* Thw twitter blog mentions that they now offer push notifications for new tweets too.
From: Twitter Blog: Twitter for Android – Now with Push Notifications and Multiple Accounts

"First, we now offer push notifications. Push notifications let you instantly receive Twitter updates ? no matter what you?re doing on your phone. In your account settings, select ?automatic refresh? and choose to receive updates for Direct Messages, @Mentions (from the people you follow or anyone), and Tweets.



* But the help pages mention that there is no push notification for new tweets
From: https://support.twitter.com/article...ble-with-notifications-in-twitter-for-android

"Twitter for Android offers push notifications for mentions and messages, as well as standard notifications for new Tweets."


So which is it - does twitter support push notifications for new tweets or not?


Btw, I am not seeing any "Automatic Refresh" option in my settings menu. My Menu shows a screen like this,

But I am seeing that people using older version are getting menu like this which has "Automatic Refresh" option

Thus, why doesn't my latest twitter version 3.0.1 have this automatic refresh option? Should I downgrade to v2 to get push notifications for new tweets?

Thanks!
