Huawei important notifications do not come through

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

I can´t figure it out how to get an Huawei Android Telephone to push an important alarm notification to get even through Android Do-Not-Disturb.
Everything i try only gets me an regular notification.

My intension is to build an node-red flow to push a doorbell notification.

Maybe someone of you built just that and can post an example?
Thanks a lot.

I thought Huawei didn’t do android any more?

Could try this. This setup works for my partners Samsung though with DND which is the first script. I don’t actually use DND on my huawei phone, which is the second script. I think I added the delay because it was taking a moment to disable DND.
They are from the companion app docs

Thanks a lot. I rebuild you automation on my system but the Huawei device is still not reacting to important/priority messages. Seems to be a problem with android.

make sure the app has proper permission to run in the background and any other power saving setting that the device uses. Every device is different so you may need to dig into settings. You need to make sure to follow the critical notification format:
