I installed the app thanks to IceSkater's recent post and link. Thanks @HeiligWahrheit and @htn If all players install this app, the server will rarely be empty.

Just for information: When the app showed you that notification, 11 players really were online? Or were 11 players online while you had the airplane mode turned on?
11 players were online. If I was in Airplane Mode then the app will not connect to internet.

Ok, will try that.
What I only found so far is that Android 10 and above has another autostart restriction, so it is not that easy to autostart the app.
I will try to fix that.
I'm not sure if your changed something but I just received a notification of 6 players without starting the app today. FYI my phone was not turned off since Monday. Just in Airplane Mode during night time. I will turn out off and restart and let you know if I receive any notifications without opening the app. Thanks guys!

2 players is indeed a little low I think.

Remember: The app will only notify, if the count was below the check-size at one interval AFTER a notificiation.

So if you got a notification, there must be not more than 1 player online over a time of 15 minutes.

Of course, the server is empty, especially in the night and morning (at least in CET).

But following scenario is possible (Checks will met exactly every :00 :15 :30 :45) :
18:00 5 Players -> Notification
19:00 4 Players -> No notification, because already send 18:00
20:00 3 Players -> No notification, because already send 18:00
21:00 2 Players -> No notification, because already send 18:00
enabling airplane mode or shutdown phone
22:00 1 Players -> Won't reset notification, because no connection could be established
23:00 0 Players -> Won't reset notification, because no connection could be established
...
07:00 0 Players -> Won't reset notification, because no connection could be established
...
disabling airplane mode or boot phone
12:00 2 Players -> No notification, because already send 18:00, and there was no reset of notification
13:00 1 Players -> Reset notification
14:00 0 Players -> No notification, because below check-count of 2
...
17:50 2 Players -> No notification, because interval not met
18:00 1 Players -> No notification, because below check-count of 2
18:15 3 Players -> Notification

Of course this is a unlikely scenario, because I don't think that you disabling your airplane mode that late...but nevertheless it is a possible scenario.

But I will check and test it anyway in simulation of Android 10! Because as I said, I found some information, that Android 10 and above has more boot startup restrictions.

Please feel free to give more feedback if another scenario happened.

After Al Gore sent us more feedback via PM - we developed a version 1.1 with following new features:
- Click on notification shows app
- Included Button "Visit URL" to open the specified URL/Server
- You can count Bots as players (not important for Hello-Clan-Server... ;-) )
- Bugfix: Sometimes at map change, gametracker-website shows 0 players. Before this update, this triggered a new notification. We think, we fixed this.

Please note anyway: You have to deactivate Battery optimization for this app to make it work properly! Please don't hesitate to give us feedback!


1. Click on battery optimization:

Yes, turning off optimization did the trick for me. Also, the updated app works perfectly. The URL is very helpful. Before I had to open the browser, type in the address, and click go. Now it is just one click and it opens up. Thank you guys for the time and effort you put into this app. I'm glad you guys are part of HELLO. Now please go easy on me with your AK-47 and M-16 ?
