Push Notifications not working when app is closed

I have added Whatsapp and Hike to the protected app list, but still when the app is closed it stops getting push notifications.
Is this really an bug? If yes, Do we have a workaround for this?

IN Honor 7, it was working fine.. But 5X is having some problem it seems.
