Push notifications in android?

Salutations all! I'm probably just thick but I would love to have push notifications when it's my turn to make a move, which really helps with multitasking, and just general convenience. Thanks for reading

The Android app does have notifications and I believe they are on by default.

 I haven't turned them off AFAIK but I'll double check.

Sometimes, I get notifications about "start in 30 seconds" or something, but certainly nothing along the lines of  "You have 1 turn waiting"

Sorry to bump this, but I definitely doubled checked all my settings and there is no way that if an opponent makes a move, there is a push notification.

Should I re-install the app? 

So, Settings > General > Notifications is set to Enable and you're not receiving anything? 

 Nothing when someone ends a turn no. I have Wi-Fi and 3G enabled yet nothing. This also happens (or doesn't I suppose) while the phone is in active use with another app (say YouTube or Steam).

I turned off my notifications for the app a while back, but I was getting move notifications. 

 Maybe that's what I should do -___-

If I wasn't clear, I was getting the notifications before turning them off. 

 Oh okay lucky.

Today I beat my friend Shikhar [finally! ... YES!] and I told it to do an analysis, of which, I got a notification saying it was complete. 

So I am getting some notifications but honestly, I don't particularly care to get such notification about a completion of the analysis. I just want when it is my turn, to have a notification, or an auto-updating function like on PC browsers. 

You've stay logged in to get notified.

 Oh okay in that case, I do get notifications ... but not PUSH notifications.

I really want push notifications ( the ones that pop up at the top of your screen).

I think notifications on the android app are just broken. I've timed out of tournament games because I never got a notification that they had started. I do usually get them but not always. I've had to get in a habit of opening the app and checking to be sure because the push notifications can't be trusted.

You can also turn on the e-mail notifications.

That is how I get most of my updates when it is my turn to move (only get one until you log in again), when I'm almost out of time (still get those even after I make my moves when I'm running close though), and when a new tourney round starts.
