When I get an email, a very brief "New Email" message appears in the menu bar. However, there is no sustained notification. I have no idea if there is mail in Gmail, if I don't catch that quick notification. I called Sony Ericsson Tech Support, and they had no idea how to deal with this.
Anybody know how to get a real sustained notification, like with other Android phones?
Any updates I get no notifications
Weird rebooted and notifications back

How or what should I use so that the phone notifies me that i have a new message without showing part of it in the notification bar??
if i disabled "Received Notification" it won't let me know when i get new sms ...
Use Handcent SMS, there is an option for 'privacy mode'.
doesnt work whether i check the "Privacy" in notification settings or not it keeps showing the message concent in notification!
You have to turn off the notifications from the default message application.
dude i of course i know that ..i did that already, only handset giving me notification now...and it shows the msg content whether privacy is on or off :S

Do you know there are two 'privacy mode' options, one for the notification and one for the popup. I just tested it and it works as you wanted.
actually im disabling the whole popup thing. and i set the notification's privacy ON.
nothing
Ah yes, I've just noticed what you mean. It doesn't show it when it alerts you of the text but when opening the notification screen it shows it. That's not very useful is it? You could email the developer?
I just emailed him. thanks alot anyway.

Fixed: uninstalling Handcent SMS and using Private SMS
When I get an email in Gmail on the Xperia X10, there is a quick, "New Email" that flashes in the menu bar. After that there is nothing. Why is there no steady email icon on the menu bar? Is this a 1.6 deal? I've been using 2.1, till yesterday.
I've checked off "Notify In Status Bar When Message Arrives" in Gmail settings.
go to the email app and set your notifications and how often it checks for email. not the gmail app. the email app.
No. That doesn't do anything.
Hi...I created a ringtone and added it to a folder called Notifications. I found this out from another site. However, the ringtone fails to associate itself with emails - - it rings when I plug my phone into a USB for example. This is a normal "notification" and not what I want. I did find a notification folder under media>audio>notifications. When I moved my ringtones to that folder they showed up under my ringtone options. However, the ringtone does not trigger when I get an email. Still playing around with it. I've lost the notification for emails which is probably due to something I've done editing folders on the phone...

I spoke to Sony Ericsson tech support about this and they draw a blank. I called Rogers Wireless, which offers the phone and they don't know. Any Android phone I've ever used, and I've used several, has a Gmail icon in the notification bar when you have mail in the inbox. Not this phone.
I am running the Dell stock 1.6 software.
1.Is there a way to set different sound options for different notifications. Example, I would prefer to only get an audible notification for SMS messages but none for emails. I don't see that option. If there is not, is there a program that will do this?
2. As part of this issue, I now get little beeps or bells going off and by looking at the notifications can not determine what caused the sound. I don't even see any changes in emails or my Facebook widget. Maybe tweets?
3. My notifications are suddenly screwed up. It keeps telling me I have x number of emails to read. I click on it, read them or even "mark folder as read" and then it still tells me I have the same number of emails to read. this didn't used to happen. It started recently.
Thanks

1. You can configure the notification in each app. Start gmail and go to settings etc....
2. It may be sd card notifications which you can turn off in the main settings app.
3 try forcing a sync.
4. Upgrade to 2.1 or froyo. ;-)

Is anyone else having an issue in which notification sounds stop working after about an hour after the Xoom was booted?
I have rebooted it several times and keep having the same issue. After about an hour, the notification sounds no longer play, but the notification light will still blink. The clock alarm notification sounds still work at all times though.
I have tried changing the notification sounds on the apps but it has no effect. When it happens, all app notification sounds stop working. The only unaffected app is the Alarm Clock sound.
Reason (Bug found):
Ok, so after a lot of testing. I found what causes this bug.
I have 2 gmail accounts that I use for mail. So I set up 2 GMail Widgets on the home screen. One for each account, obviously. The problem happens after both accounts have received mail and the mail is accessed through clicking on the mails in the widgets to bring up the full gmail client. It doesn't matter if the accounts have both received mail at the same time or hours apart.
I did find that as long as you never open gmail through the widgets, the notification sounds keep working. I sent myself mails about once an hour to both accounts for over 8 hours using gmail on a PC. During this time, I simply listened for the notification sound after each email was sent. Every one worked perfectly, until after I opened the a mail item in each of the gmail accounts on the Xoom using the widgets. Then, I no longer received the notification sounds.
Now during all the times of testing, the notification light always works. Regardless of the notification sound. Also, sound within applications were never affected. However, when the notification sounds stopped going off due to this gmail widget bug, none of my applications notification sounds worked anymore.
After the notification sound bug kicks in, the only way to remedy it is to shut down the tablet and reboot.
Reason found and put into post above.
I have the opposite happening to me. My light won't blink on Gmail notifications but the sound works just fine. I've done multiple reboots too. Good find on what may be causing the bug though.

I am currently experiencing this issue but I dont have two gmail account widgets and after a reboot I still do not get any sound notifications.
I do have a gmail and an email widget. Perhaps I will remove both and reboot.
I am running Team EOS 3 (latest nightly)
Thanks

It's not only for facebook messenger. All the apps same, if you are on the screen in phone, you can't get notification from watch.
You get notifications that are displayed on the status bar/android notifications.
If your chat heads are open, you don't get a new notification on the status bar, but only counter on the chat head... So no notification on the watch...
Try to see into settings of Facebook messenger, may be you can enable notifications
