My toasts work with and without channels. With beta installed, you are right, no option within BBM.

Alright! I tried it and it does indeed work!
So, if you had Channels BBM installed during the upgrade to 10.2 and the actionable notifications are not working despite every possible setting, then just do the following:
Step 1) Download normal BBM sys.bbm-10.2.0.53.bar
Step 2) Sideload it onto your BB10 device (I just drag and dropped it in using Sachesi)
Step 3) Open BBM on device, let it set up (Note that you will lose your conversations!)
Step 4) Follow the OP's "Step 3" to toggle each BBM contact's preview setting 'off' and then back 'on'
Step 5) Re-install Channels from Beta Zone if you want it back. All the preview settings for existing contacts will stay as you left them ('on'), and any new contacts will default to 'on'.
Good luck!
I have to give props where props are due. That was some nifty detective skills you used there figuring out how to fix BBM notifications for people with BBM channels that couldn't get it to work. Reminds me of grade school science class: state a hypothesis, test, document, and finally conclude. :-)
I deleted some contacts and re-added them and BOOM toast notifications show up!

Seems to be working for me now and I've got channels.
One question though : one feature was you could reply in BBM without going into BBM. How do you do that with a z10?
If I touch the preview message it opens the BBM app.
I can't just respond to the preview because the keyboard isn't showing on the z10
They show up, but only for those contacts (or brand new ones)... right?

Yeah, those are the actionable notifications.. for sms, bbm, and whatsapp, etc. (not for email) you should see a little arrow towards the right of the notification... you have to touch the arrow and it will bring up a text box and the keyboard.

Yup only ppl I've re-added show up in toast now from bbm. Everything else was working fine

Thanks for that tip. Seems to work except that it wouldn't send my message when I hit return. Argh
OP Thank you for the detailed post. Very helpful. I unfortunately have Channels Beta and I think this is causing my toggle BBM Toasts for each contact to be missing from details. But another friend of mine has Channels and doesn't have the toast issue. Is Channels easy to remove with Link? I want it gone.

Yes there is! Read my post a few posts above.

You need to sideload BBM 10.2.0.56

I will try that tomorrow! Hope it works! Thank you so much. Will it bring back dark theme as well?

For me bbm toast was not working. I figured out that when a contact changed their "status" on bbm, toast worked. Its a little tedious, but if you ask a contact to change their status, you will get the toast notifications. I saw many suggestions of turning on individual contract preview notifications, but after update I didn't have that option. What I described worked for me. Maybe this helps.

My BBM option on / off toggle is whited out do i cannot change it.
Funny BBM toasts worked yesterday

Mine works since I unlinked and relinked my bbm contacts, other fixes didn't work.
How do you do that?

It's not an icon...you're doing it wrong.
The icon is the view profile option from the menu that appears at the right.
Once you view the profile, then make sure you're looking at the Details tab. The on/off options are there.

I unlinked one of my bbm contacts, but not sure how to re link it?
Posted via BlackBerry Z10
Okay, didn't see the bbm contact on the bottom of all the contacts list, got it relinked, hopefully this will bring up the bbm toast notifications

My toast notifications seem to be working for everyone now with out changing or delete/re-add to bbm. Weird! But cool!
