Tweet Notification?

Hi. I'm in the UK, have an android phone and I want to be notified immediately when someone I follow on Twitter posts a new message. Seems simple and I've seen it work on iPhone in the official twitter app, but the functionality doesn't seem to exist on Android. Any suggestions?
 
Go to the profile page of the person you want to be notified for, there should be a star, tap it.
I have a few people (family mostly) set up and it works nicely.
 
Yes, notifications are on. When someone DMs or mentions me, I get a text.

When I go to the persons page I want to receive alerts for, I click the cog and choose "turn on mobile notifications" then a message comes up saying I need to turn on mobile notifications, I click enable, then I get taken to a help page about turning notifications on.....

And I'm just going round in circles. So frustrating. As I said, my mobile notifications are already on, so what's the problem?

Any advice?
 
What phone/Android version are you using? All I have to do is click a profile picture then it brings me to their profile. The star is right there, no cogs or other settings needed.

Maybe it's a UK vs US thing?

I'm in the UK and I see the little star icon on people's profile pages. I've just turned it on for a couple of people who tweet regularly, I'll let you know if I receive a notification next time they tweet.

Edit - Yep, just had a notification that one of the people I starred had tweeted. Not sure why that won't work for the OP. Are you using the latest version (5.20.0)?
 
Well. I had to do a factory reset and suddenly I wasn't getting notified. After rummaging around I found a setting that I swear wasn't there before!

Go into settings and make sure 'tweets' is checked in notifications.
