Why don't my notifications light up when getting a text, no banner to show a message?

[AC Question]

notification does not light up when getting a text, no banner to show a message

when my phone chimes to let me know that i have a text, my phone does not light up anymore...also, when i swipe to open it, the message icon does not show i have a message. i have to literally open the icon to check if there is a message.

Welcome to Android Central!

What phone do you have? Have you tried using a different messaging app like Chomp SMS or Textra?

In the messaging app open the settings menu and check to see if the "Notification light" and "Notifications" options are checked.
