Description

Hi! I don't get any notifications from Element. Luckly they have this troubleshooting tool (ss below)

I also don't get anything from Discord

They both never showed "allow to receive notifications" pop up, nor show up in list of apps in microg notify settings

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached Element troubleshooting screenshot and the notification behavior on Android 11 with LineageOS 18. Compare the behavior of Element and Discord with microG's notification settings; done means notifications work and both apps appear as notification-capable apps.
