have you enabled "textual notifications" in Mi Band/Amazfit settings?

Yes, that one is enabled

Similar problem here: MiBand 2 shows notification only for phone-calls and SMS, but not for Conversations-Messages. K9-emails, and calendar-events since v.0.29.1.

LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) on Samsung Galaxy S5,

I got the very same problem here with a
MiBand 2
FW: 1.0.1.81 (this is the stock firmware, I did not update it with GB)
HW: V0.1.3.2
and Mili_pro.ft Mili_pro_en.ft installed successfully.
In debug menu, only Incoming Call shows textual notification.
This prooves that the notification mechanism is working well.

I too noticed this and I start looking at DebugActivity.java,

The "Incoming call" button calls onSetCallState:
https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/934f36f45aea864f15181afc963ead4310db8de9/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/activities/DebugActivity.java#L137
and onSetCallState sets the text message into a SimpleNotification object to pass to performPreferredNotification:
https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/934f36f45aea864f15181afc963ead4310db8de9/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/service/devices/miband/MiBandSupport.java#L651

The "Send" button instead calls onNotification:
https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/934f36f45aea864f15181afc963ead4310db8de9/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/activities/DebugActivity.java#L126
and onNotification does not create a simpleNotification, it passes null to performPreferredNotification:
https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/934f36f45aea864f15181afc963ead4310db8de9/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/service/devices/miband/MiBandSupport.java#L576

So the Notification strategy does not send the text message in the second case:
https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/486d7bdca64461d6567674c303bdbd5d7e571d36/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/service/devices/huami/miband2/Mi2TextNotificationStrategy.java#L55

Supporting text messages for all the other notifications should not be too hard (change two lines to onNotification), and it will work well for the debug activity, but it may become weird for actual notifications, as the whole body would be put in the text message, see: https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/blob/f8d72f62e297624fcdfa5d36bb4d4a06163e9eb6/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/util/NotificationUtils.java#L29

Maybe ellipsizing the text could work.

Anyway I won't be able to test this myself anytime soon, sorry.

Ciao,
