Nearby Notifications not showing

Question

I've configured three types of beacons:

Eddystone-UID
Eddystone-UID with TLM
iBeacon

They are visible in Google Beacons Dashboard, I see these beacons in Beacon Toolkit App in "Registered" tab too.

I've added two nearby notifications:

Unfortunately, I did not receive any notification with this web page. I see my beacons in third party beacon scanner.

When I've started Nearby attractions scan manually:

it didn't show any beacon related web pages.

However, when I turn on Eddystone-URL beacon I see this beacon's URL in nearby attractions.

Moreover, I see other attachments for this beacons in my custom app which is using Nearby API.

I've tested it on HTC One (Android 5.0.1) and Nexus 6 (latest Marshmallow).

So the questions is - how to run and debug Google Nearby Notifications? How can I show proof-of-concept to my clients?

Maybe obvious, but if you go to Settings -> Google -> Nearby, is it set to on? — davidgyoung, Jul 29 '16 at 12:54

(I work on Nearby) You're able to get Eddystone-URL fine but not url thru Discoverer's attachment. So the suspicion is that it got filtered out somehow. Reasons I see it can get filtered out are

Empty title or description
not https (does not apply to your case)
content is inappropriate/invalid so it got filtered out.

To turn on debugging, you can use this command

"adb shell setprop log.tag.NearbyDiscovery VERBOSE"

Send us the info when you reproduce it and I'll help debug further.

What's the exact content you're trying to attach?

I've added logs to my question. Content: https://droidlabs.net It works like a charm with Eddystone-URL but no result with Eddystone-UID and iBeacon :( – radzio Jul 30 '16 at 08:05
Thanks for the attaching those logs. They're a known issue and we have fixed it and should be coming in the next release. We'll try to attach to droidlabs.net in house and let you know. Please also turn on this add'l log and let us know. "adb shell setprop log.tag.NearbyDirect VERBOSE" – Tony Tran Jul 31 '16 at 15:05
Looks like you've attached the url with language of "pl" Can you please reattach with language of "en" to see? There's a known issue with language. I'll understand the issue in details come Monday when I'm back to work. – Tony Tran Jul 31 '16 at 15:19
I've removed nearby notification with "pl" language and when I've added it again but with "en" it started to work! Can you tell more about this known issue with language? – radzio Jul 31 '16 at 18:16
We have a bug--the client and server didn't agree on the language code convention. Sorry for the trouble this caused. Looks like we'll be able to address it with a server push. – Andrew Bunner Aug 01 '16 at 18:34
Just following up, we pushed the server fix in August, the language "pl" should be working in the list view (Settings > Google > Nearby). The notification will be working when the next version of Google Play Services rolls out. The version rolling out now (unfortunately) has a bug that disables the notifications. – Andrew Bunner Oct 13 '16 at 19:45
