It is recommended to use push notifications (see Configuring the push notifications in AxxonNet client on Android OS). If for some reason, it is not possible to use push notifications, you can receive notifications from the Server by periodically polling the Server directly.

This method of receiving notifications consumes more of the Android device battery and loads the network. You should use this method of receiving notifications only when absolutely necessary.

To configure receiving local notifications, do the following:

  1. In the Notifications settings section, set the Local notifications checkbox (see Configuring the push notifications in AxxonNet client on Android OS). As a result, a  button will be displayed on the server list screen for configuring the background notification service.
  2. Click the  button. As a result, the Local notifications window will open.
  3. Select the Server to poll for new events (1).
  4. If it is necessary to receive events only from certain cameras, select one or several required cameras (2).

  5. If Axxon Next Server is selected as the polled Server and it is necessary to receive only certain types of events, select one or several required event types (3).

    The Event type parameter is not available if Intellect Server is selected.


  6. Select the time interval for polling the Server (4). The default is 5 seconds.

    Events of the Car number recognized type enter the database with a delay of about 10 seconds. To receive events of this type, it is necessary to increase the polling interval to 10 seconds or more.


  7. If it is necessary for the background notification service to turn on automatically after the Android device restart, enable the START ON DEVICE BOOT option (5).
  8. Click the START button (6) to start the background notification service.

As a result, the notification from the background notification service will be displayed on the Android device notification panel. It will periodically poll the specified Server for new events.

If you tap on the received event notification, you will go to viewing the camera archive at the time of the start of this alarm event.

To stop the background notification service, click Stop in the notification or go to the service settings and click the STOP button.
