About this app

Description: This application was created to help prevent your phone's data stream from going idle. Some carriers have a strict time-outs set on their access points, which can cause your data connection to go idle when not in use. This can cause notifications to be delayed.


Solution: When this application is activated, it begins broadcasting a Google Cloud Messaging service heartbeat approximately every interval (selected in settings) to keep your connection alive. If your connection has already gone idle, it will make a request to re-enable it. Even at the fastest check-in frequency setting while running continuously as a background service this application has almost no battery consumption and uses only a small amount of data.


Free Trial: The free trial version of this application is intended to serve as a test to help you verify whether it will fix your delayed notifications. After approximately one hour of operation the application will pause, and you will need to start it again manually to activate it again.


If this application works for you, please consider upgrading to the full version which will allow your usage to continue uninterrupted. The full version also adds the ability to start the application automatically after your phone reboots.

Thank you.

Ratings and reviews

Still getting notifications 10min-7hrs late. Thought it worked. This is at the lowest interval also, with battery optimization turned off. Not necessarily the dev's fault. Android has progressively turned into a broken mess over the years. The only other option would be to root, but I'm not risking it. Especially with all the problems I've been having. Better late than never is what I'll have to settle for.

After long term use, I am editing my review. Only because of this app (paid version) is my phone able to receive most of the notification and calls (whatsapp, duo etc. Calls,) else the pathetic funtouch os of vivo had ruined my experience on Vivo z1x.

A big thank you to the developer. Fixes my delayed Google Voice messages as well as other delayed push notifications. Like that it has an icon in the notification bar displaying your internet connection status.

What's new

This update drastically improves the user-interface for the application, and adds the ability to toggle the visibility of the status notifications.
