No notification when in full screen mode

When im running an application in full screen mode (a game through the Steam app) I stop receiving notifications on my MacBook, not only that but my phone no longer notifies me also. (specifically with texts)


I have tried having Messeges open and closed on my MacBook, but with no difference.


Its really annoying as the notification will be on my phone screen but no sound is played, it as almost like DND is on when I am running in full screen mode?I have looked at my settings and all appears ok, and notifications are received as usual when not in full screen mode E.G Using Safari.


Am I missing something?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

steam is open as a normal window. Notifications are fine. I then launch a game from within Steam - which Is then full screen mode - Issue occurs.


I have made the game run in window mode which 'fixes' the issue but I don't want to run in windowed mode and I certainly don't want what I am doing on the Mac affect my phone performance.
