It says "notifications are received whether the mobile application is running or not." Nothing about the desktop is running.
How do you expect the desktop to send a notification when it is not running?

https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/android/help/push said 'Push notifications are received by the device, regardless of whether the application is running MetaTrader 5 or not. All that is needed is the mobile Internet.'
I tried to set Push notifications and closed my desktop MT5, but no alert is send to mobile app even the price is reached already.
After I open the desktop MT5, the previous reached alert will send to mobile app.
anyone having the same issue? So it is not possible to receive alert if the desktop software is closed?
Thank you.
