Notification Booster is a background service that boosts notifications on your phone, so you won't miss a meeting or a text message because you didn't noticed the notification.
If you work in a noisy environment (such as a factory or production line), or if you have some hearing loss, or if the system notifications just does grip your attention - then I think you'll find this app useful.
Well, it depends... I personally use the Notification Booster app only for Calendar notifications. So I enabled only the Calendar app in the Settings → Apps List.
In addition, I enabled Settings → Quiet Times During Airplane Mode so when I enter a concert I put the phone on airplane mode rather than DND mode.
I also configured Profile Settings → Quiet Times during night and weekends.
You can drop me an email at notification.booster.app@gmail.com. Please also include a screen shot of your Activity log of the notification that was not boosted correctly.
Please don't use Google Play reviews to request support as it doesn't notify me when a review is posted.
If you feel you need to post a low score review because the app doesn't work as you expect please contact me. If you post on Google Play, be sure to drop me a mail too and try to be constructive. "Doesn't work, uninstalled" won't help you, nor me in a future use.
See next answer how to share logs with me.
In your Profile Settings → Match Keywords you can set list of keywords that only if matched then the notification will be boosted. Each keyword should be on a new line. In the following example, when a notification contains "call me" or "urgent" keywords in the title or content of the notification, it will be boosted.
Tip: you can set multiple profiles with specific apps and specific keywords; so when your boss sends you "call me now" the notification will be boosted.
In Notification Booster, click the menu on the top right → Debug → Log Export and click on the envelope icon on top. This will open your email client with log contents. Just hit send :)

First thing you need to do is give Notification Booster access to your notifications. This is a basic requirement and the app will not work until you grant this permission.
Make sure the rest of the permissions are granted. Most of the permissions are required even if you do not plan to use that functionality. This is just how Android works...
Android is very strict on background services, and possibly turn some background services off. This is part of the battery-optimization feature of Android. You should check in the Android Settings that battery optimization is disabled for Notification Booster, and no restrictions applied.
There's a great website called https://dontkillmyapp.com, which lists what vendors do to preserve battery life at the cost of killing apps. If you find having trouble keeping Notification Booster alive, find your phone manufacturer on this page to see if there's something you can do about it:
Read Notifications Permission - The main activity of Notification Booster is to monitor notifications from selected apps and boost them. Although this is a so called "dangerous" permission as it allows other apps to read the notification contents, Notification Booster does not send any data over the Internet.
Notification Permission - Notification Booster also send a notification when another notification needs to be boosted.
Do Not Disturb (DND) Permission - One of the features of Notification Booster is to boost notifications even if your phone is on DND state. But even if you do not use this feature it is required as some phone models do not post notifications at all.
Draw over other Apps - This permission is optional and only be needed when waking the display screen lock in Android 10 or higher.
For now - no.
The reason is that it is a system sound, not based on a media file, which will issue beep on almost all phone manufacturers.
