Can start with basic like resarting your device , if that don't help we can try other steps

Sadly I have restarted it many times. This has been going on now for about two weeks

Oh ok , when you said all of sudden , was thinking like just happened.

Have you tried clearing cache in recovery?

Sorry about my wording. How do I clear cache in recovery?

It's ok , restart your phone before the screen comes on hold volume up and power button same time , there will be a menu pops up scroll with the volume buttons to select Clear Cache then hit power button to initiate it , then choose restart in same menu.

Sorry, company came over and then went to bed. Going to try now and let you know. So I have tried twice and don't get anything other than the normal home screen.

Does this also happen in Safe Mode? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28008

I am having the same problem recently (started two days ago out of nowhere). It's the messages (text) app that is having the problem, and I made absolutely no changes to the settings. I restarted, did the clear cache in recovery mode, and am still having the problem. Any other ideas?

Welcome to Android Central! Did you also try Safe Mode, as I suggested in post 8 above?

No notification? Which message app your using?

 

[underdave]

Yes I tried safe mode.

And I'm using the factory Message app.

I can send messages with no problem. I receive messages, I just don't receive any sort of notification that I have a message.

Your case , maybe try resetting app preference. In settings >apps>3 Dots upper right corner tap

 

[underdave]

Done, still not working right. Dang, this is frustrating. I certainly appreciate your help.

This is any time, or is it only when you have the Messaging app already open?
