There is currently no notifications if WhatsApp has been closed.

Obviously, as the Alien Dalvik virtual machine isn't running any background services if its closed. You also need to have WhatsApp "under" some other android app to have notifications sent into Sailfish, as otherwise WhatsApp will think it's an active app wether Alien is minimized or not.
This sounds nice, I will try it :) http://www.jollausers.com/2015/02/sound-led-and-haptic-feedback-for-android-notifications/

Sure, if minimized you can hear a new whatsapp message received sound and see a notification similar to new unreaded email, but you have to keep whatsapp open ( start whatsapp and swipe from left to right to keep opened and running ) SAILFISH MULTITASKING POWER

SailfishOS 2 / AlienDalvik / Lipstick uses a whitelist (/usr/share/lipstick/androidnotificationpriorities) for notifications from Android apps.

Maybe they can add whatsapp to the message app? I believe the whatsapp api is out there.
