NotiLog Not Saving on Samsung — Battery and Background Fix

1. Set battery usage to Unrestricted

1. Open Settings → Apps → NotiLog.
2. Tap Battery.
3. Choose Unrestricted (not "Optimized" or "Restricted").
4. Turn on Allow background activity on the same screen.

2. Add it to Never sleeping apps

1. Open Settings → Battery → Background usage limits.
2. Tap Never sleeping apps.
3. Tap the + icon and add NotiLog.

This overrides Samsung's "Sleeping apps" and "Deep sleeping apps" lists, which are the usual reason a logger silently stops working.

3. Keep it open in recent apps

Open the recent apps view, tap the NotiLog icon above its card and choose Keep open. Otherwise Clear all closes the app and capture stops until you reopen it.

4. Check Auto restart

Settings → Device care → Auto restart can restart the phone overnight and reset app state. Turn it off, or accept that NotiLog will need a moment to resume capturing after the restart.

5. Verify

1. Open NotiLog → Settings → Battery Optimization (or Help → Verify Capture).
2. Type a message and tap Send test notification.
3. It should appear on Home within seconds.

Still nothing? Confirm Notification Access is still granted — Settings → Notifications → Advanced settings → Special access → Notification access. See the access guide.

Why this happens

A notification listener can only record a notification while it is running. One UI's battery management suspends background apps that are not "used often", and a logger is by definition idle most of the time — so Samsung's heuristics target exactly this kind of app. The settings above exempt NotiLog from that policy.
