I've searched the Google a few different times, but the wording leads to unrelated results.

I thought it was just a glitch / conflict with my rooted Z2 Play, not receiving notifications from Google Play, when app updates are available.
I have auto update turned off for two reasons. I absolutely hate the new cartoon version of Waze (v4+) and I like to know when apps update, in case I have issues, I can more easily identify suspects.

I fired up my backup phone, VZW Z2 Play and the same thing. No notification with plenty of app updates waiting.

Anyone else experience this?

No - I have updates disabled, but I still get not only notices, but updates. I wish I could turn it off, for similar reasons. Some developers "improve" an app to the point that it's useless. I at least want to save an .apk of the existing one before I update.

Maybe I don't want to find a fix.
I'm better off than you. At least mine don't auto update, even tho I have that turned off. That would be terrible!
