Why Notification Settings Matter

In the cryptocurrency market, timely information is crucial. A well-timed price alert could help you catch the best buying opportunity, a security alert could help you cut losses before your account is compromised, and a P2P order notification could prevent disputes caused by timeouts.

However, many mainland users report "not receiving Binance notifications" or "getting too many irrelevant notifications." This is usually because notification settings haven't been properly configured. This article walks you through setting up various Binance notifications so that "important information isn't missed, and irrelevant information doesn't disturb."

  2. Allow background activity: Ensure Binance is not on the "Restricted" apps list
  3. Auto-start permission: Allow Binance to auto-start

  • Settings > Notification Center > Batch Management > Ensure Binance is enabled

Xiaomi/Redmi:

  • Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > Binance > Auto-start > Enable

4. How to Set Price Alerts

Setting Price Alerts

  1. In the Binance APP, go to the market page for your followed coin
  2. Find the "Price Alert" or "Set Alert" button (usually a bell icon)
  3. Set trigger conditions:
    • Alert at a specific price: e.g., notify when BTC reaches 70,000 USDT
    • Percentage change alert: e.g., notify when 24-hour change exceeds 5%
    • Repeat alert: Set whether it's one-time or recurring

Price Alert Best Practices

  1. Don't set too many alerts: Too many will desensitize you, causing you to miss important ones
  2. Set reasonable thresholds: Alerts should be at prices where you actually plan to take action
  3. Separate long-term and short-term: Set different alerts for long-term targets vs. short-term trades
  4. Clean up regularly: Remove alerts for prices you no longer care about

5. Email Notification Settings

Email Notification Types

Binance sends the following via email:

  • Login confirmations
  • Security setting change confirmations
  • Withdrawal confirmations
  • Large transaction alerts
  • System announcements and policy updates
  • Account status changes

Ensuring Email Notifications Work

  1. Whitelist Binance emails:

    • Add [email protected] to your contacts
    • Add the @binance.com domain to your email whitelist

  2. Set up anti-phishing code:

    • Log in to Binance > Security Center > Anti-Phishing Code
    • Set a word that only you know
    • Every subsequent email from Binance will contain this word
    • Any "Binance email" without your anti-phishing code is fake

  3. Check email settings:

    • Ensure no email filter rules are blocking Binance emails
    • Periodically check your spam folder

Managing Email Notifications

If you receive too many email notifications:

  1. Log in to the Binance web version
  2. Go to notification settings
  3. Selectively disable certain types of email notifications
  4. It's recommended to keep security-related email notifications enabled

6. Common Notification Troubleshooting

Issue 1: Not Receiving Any Notifications

Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check phone system notification permission settings
  2. Check if Do Not Disturb mode is on
  3. Check if the APP has been system-optimized (background running restricted)
  4. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the APP
  5. Check if the network connection is normal

Issue 2: Severe Notification Delays

Possible causes and solutions:

  • APP background process killed by system: Set to unrestricted background
  • Network proxy affecting push: Push services may be impacted by network environment
  • Phone power-saving mode: Disable power saving or exclude Binance
  • Push service issues: Some domestic phones need Google Services installed for reliable push

Issue 3: Only Receiving Some Notifications

Troubleshooting:

  1. Check in-app notification settings to confirm needed notification types are enabled
  2. Check phone system notification grouping settings
  3. Some Android phones intelligently fold notifications; check if there are folded notifications in the notification bar

Issue 4: Unstable Push on Android Phones

Many domestic Android phones lack Google Services, causing unreliable push. Solutions:

  1. Install Google Services Framework (if possible): Google push is the most reliable
  2. Enable all background permissions: Follow brand-specific settings above
  3. Keep APP running in background: Don't clear Binance's background process
  4. Use email as supplement: Receive important notifications through email too

7. Notification Security Reminders

Beware of Fake Notifications

  1. Fake SMS notifications: Scammers may send fake "Binance" SMS containing phishing links
  2. Fake email notifications: Phishing emails impersonating official Binance emails
  3. Fake APP push: If you installed a counterfeit Binance APP, you may receive fake notifications

How to Identify Real vs. Fake Notifications

  1. Check the sender: Emails must come from the official @binance.com domain
  2. Check anti-phishing code: After setting one, genuine Binance emails will always contain your code
  3. Don't click suspicious links: If unsure about a notification's authenticity, open the Binance APP or website directly
  4. APP push: Only trust push notifications from the official Binance APP

Sensitive Information in Notifications

  1. Don't screenshot and share notifications containing account information
  2. Set lock screen notifications to "Show notifications but hide content"
  3. Be mindful of notification content privacy in public places

Summary

Properly configuring Binance notifications ensures you won't miss important security alerts and trading opportunities while avoiding excessive irrelevant interruptions. Key steps include: granting Binance full notification permissions at the system level, enabling various notifications as needed within the APP, configuring email notifications and setting up an anti-phishing code. Android users especially need to be mindful of how power optimization and background restrictions affect push notifications.
