As the title suspects. When my Android companion app crashes and is “off”, which happens a lot (sorry). OR when I turn on my wall tablet. And I restart the companion app again. It starts playling a lot of old TTS notify messages which are old an unuseful. Like “the gate has opened” and we were like huh why is the gate open? But these were old messages… the thing is playing all the missed TTSnotify.
by default notifications respect android doze and will wait for the device to come online or in your case to be restarted. If you check notification history you can see when they arrive. If you want them to appear immediately or not at all you need to follow the critical steps:

you can also stop TTS using a command if you find it happens often with your setup. the app should to really crash that often but without a bug report we cant fix it.
