I have some apps which show me promotional notifications of new features, deals, etc. I know I can turn these notifications off, but I tried disabling the app running in the background altogether instead (Android 10), so it does not run at all by itself unless I start it explicitly.

Apparently, some of these apps still send me suprise notifications from time to time. How is it possible? Can apps still work and send notifications even if they are not started by me and cannot run in the background?

That depends on which pushing mechanism your app uses.

In China, many applications use some pushing sdk, as long as there is one application using the same pushing sdk running, the pushing sdk will use the running application to launch stopped-running app(even force-stopped) and make it running;

however, recently many chinese customized os has been modified to prevent this behavir

According to Google FCM(Google's pushing service), FCM won't send push message for forced-stopped application, but will do it for other situations.

So, according to this , you won't receive any notifications if you diable your application by force-stop
