• Although you have installed Twitter for Android, notifications are not push-compatible on tablets

• The notification setting depends on sync setting and sync interval to determine when the app pulls for new mentions such as retweets, new followers, direct messages or tweets

• Notifications will only appear when the device is active. You will not get notification alerts when the device's screen turns off or in standby mode, but it will appear in the status bar once the device is activated
