AppNotifier restores Google Play's missing app update & app install notifications.

Unhappy with Google's removal of the Play Store's app update notifications? Wish you had them back? Don't worry, AppNotifier's got you covered.

Features
• Show a notification each time an app is newly installed, or updated, on your device
• Choose whether notifications are shown for apps from Google Play, or sideloaded apps

Limitations
• The app does not detect when apps are in the middle of installing, so there will be a short delay between when an app downloads and when the install or update notifications appear.
• Notifications are generated using data from the apps on your device, not the Play Store itself. So if an app's name differs between the Play Store listing and the actual app on your device, the latter will be used.

NOTE: There are certain situations where the Play Store will still show an app installation notification, such as when installing an app remotely via the Google Play website. To avoid duplicate notifications, you may want to disable the Play Store's notification channel for "Updated apps" inside the Android system settings.

We are currently offering version 1.2.5. This is our latest, most optimized version. It is suitable for many different devices. Free download directly apk from the Google Play Store or other versions we're hosting. Moreover, you can download without registration and no login required.

We have more than 2000+ available devices for Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola, LG, Google, OnePlus, Sony, Tablet ... with so many options, it’s easy for you to choose games or software that fit your device.

It can come in handy if there are any country restrictions or any restrictions from the side of your device on the Google App Store.

What's New

New in 1.2.5:
• Add option to show uninstall button in notifications for newly installed apps
• Fixed Japanese translation

I love this app. Has more features and protection then all the other security apps I've tried. I've lost 5 cell phones from hacking. They are cloning my cell so it's difficult for a security app to defect that type of hacking. Due to its great features. I was sent a notification that I had given google the ok to use quick notes and they did get in again for a moment . All the other security apps never did that. So I finally have a piece of mind , it's been 2 years of hell. I highly recommend .

Thank you for this. Everyone seems hung up on app updates, but I just wanted notifications for new installations brought back. This accomplished that. One suggestion I have is the option to open the notification to the Play store page for that app instead of the app itself. If I'm remembering correctly, that's how the Play store notifications worked, though it's been so long now I may be misremembering...

very good. but missing ability to see history of notifications that this app showed. to me, this is a big lack. but this app also fills a badly needed gap and i don't want to rate down a whole star for this lack yet. seriously, the need filled by this app is so important. thanks! but please add a way for us to open the app and see past notifications, like a simple list of date and text is fine, maybe for the last 1 year. or adjustable where we can choose when history is forgotten.

Let's face it - Google makes silly decisions at times. Removing app installed/updated notifications was one of them. This app restores that in a way you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And it's easy to use! Just fire it once and whitelist it from your battery optimisations, and done! Great app, 100% recommended.

Great and useful app. However, there is a bug in the app: The app doesn't work (no notification will be shown) after updating pre-installed/system apps from Play Store. For example after updating Android System WebView, which is pre-installed on my device (Nokia 3, Android 9), no notification will be shown. Please fix. Thanks.

Does what it says! Whenever an app gets updated, I get notified about it. Very handy to see what Google Play sneakily auto updates in the background (even though I have auto updates turned off). My only request is that you can see the entire list of apps updated at once if the list is long (currently only shows the first few).

Updated: I don't know if the fault lies with my phone, Samsung's variety of Android, or the app, but in recent weeks this app rarely notifies me that apps have been updated. I hope the developer hasn't abandoned it. Old review: Great app. Restores a functionality that should never have been removed.

Works on my Pixel 4 but not my other devices for some reason, even with battery optimisation ignored. Edit: the problem was I turned off all notifications after getting the foreground service one after installation. All fixed now!
