AP news app push notifications not working

[AC Question]

For some reason my AP news push notifications are no longer working. I've not changed any settings or downloaded any other apps recently; it had been working for for over a year. I just now realized I haven't received any for several months.

As far as I know, there are several areas which may effect the operation of push notifications. None of the other apps I have are malfunctioning with regard to notifications, so this must be related to news apps specifically. I did download the Reuters news app to see if its notifications functioned, and they did not.

I've got a Galaxy 7 with the March 2017 update to the system.

In Applications Manager, I've got the AP app set for:

Allowed background date usage.
Allow unrestricted data usage.
I allow Notifications.
It's set a priority.

I've got my phone set to performance mode.
I've got my phone settings set to receive notifications from AP Moble.

I have no power saving mode activated.
I've got my battery settings marked with AP being un-monitored.

I've cleared the Cache.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the AP app.

I still receive nothing.

Any ideas?

I hope someone knows how to fix this because I have been having the same problems for probably as long as you have because I just realized a couple of days ago that mine wasn't working either. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it so many times I have lost count. I never changed any settings at all in the app. Someone please help us with this.
