notifications - phone + tab - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know a way to have Gmail notifications removed from tablet once I remove them on phone, or vice versa? Same for Facebook too. I feel like all I do is clear notifications for the same things.
Thanks!

Than you are not using your Tab enough.
But I agree, I wish they could sync. Sometime I check my phone, some times I check my N7. :silly:

On my HTC Legend running Gingerbread, if you read an email message on the desktop, the unread notification would automatically disappear. I saw this happening a few times.
Try it!

I have no problems with the notification being dismissed if I read an email on any of my android devices or PC. Same goes for Google talk as well.

Thanks, all; I'll keep working with it. It worked fine for me too PC vs phone, but adding Nex7 seems to have complicated things.
I think I'm just going to turn off FB notifications on both. Don't really care about them anyway.

Exchange notification problems.

Is anyone else having problems getting alerts or notifications for new email that hits exchange?
New email flows in but the notification bar never shows it, despite it being set to do so.
For whatever it's worth, exchange notifications do show up in the status bar for me.
They work for me as well. It must be something unique with your config.
They work for me sometimes, and sometimes not.
I am hoping the Verizon update due out anytime will help.
Darn. Just noticed after last nights update and reboot that I did have a new message come in with no status bar notification.

There is a thorough Motorola support forum thread on this subject. It looks like Moto really dropped the ball on pre-release exchange testing. You should consider yourself lucky, I can't even connect to Exchange .
It's looking as if the SSL doens't even work, so if you unckeck SSL, it still looks for the cert. We don't have SSL here, so we're out of luck...they claim to be working on a fix.

This is a major oversight, I mean come on, I know that their PCS division at Moto moved to Gmail, but the rest of their company is still on exchange how could they mess this up out of the box?
I get some notifications, like 1 in 20 emails. Really frustrating.
I so I set mine to sync to the last week. First time I go in it does that slowly. Next time I hit refresh it sync's the whole damn inbox (but not my other folders). Then I can't receive anymore mail (push worked the first time) which I'm assuming is because the inbox is full on the phone... maybe.
No ssl on our server either so i couldn't connect. Had to resort to spending the money on touchdown but it works so well i can't complain. I also don't mind keeping the work stuff separate

Did you make sure push was turned on? I noticed that my exchange account was defaulted to push off.

I'm having major issues as well. To be honest this really impacts the useablilty of the device for me. We are very email centric where I work. My iPhone on the other hand somethings notifies me before the Outlook client on my laptop... Grrr.
Same issue here. Calander/Gmail/Text/etc. all work with the notification bar but my Exchange email does not pop up on the notification bar.

Sorry if this is not allowed.

Give it a shot. Works wonders for me
I have been using Seven, works great, just a bit of a hassle to have to have two apps handling different types of email accounts.
This issue has been present while using WIFI. Turn off wifi and restart your phone. The phone will start getting pushed mail again.
Really annoying...

Facebook and android

Seriously, bb and facebook rock. Android and fb suck. I get NO notifications. Ever. Why? I dont know why. I read on here that people do get notifications so what the deal is? Why am i not getting any?
This is on stock, on root, cm7, and same issues on my g2 and mt4g, and nether one of my phones with 2 different facebook accounts for two different people get notifications. Is there a setting in facebook on the desktop that im unaware of?

There are better and alternate facebook apps on the market maybe the notifications will work with those. I have no notification issue myself with the official app but there are other options you can try. Account/sync settings may be some help as well.

I get the exact same issue, No matter what android phone I had. No notifications are being pushed to my phone at all. I did have it working at some point, but it suddenly stopped.
Yea mine was working when I first had my mt4g, but even then it was not up to date much. Then all the sudden it stopped. Back then I was running iced glacier rom on that phone

I rarely use Facebook so I'm probably not the best indication of whether notifications are working on not, but I noticed that I used to get them fine with the old version of the app, it stopped working/worked sporadically for about two versions, and then it started working again with the latest update that just came out last week.
Like I said though, I rarely get any notifications to begin with so maybe it is still sporadic and I've just been lucky so far (especially since it seems like a lot of people have had nothing but problems with the latest update).

I downloaded the new version last night.... no changes other than the notifications screen works in landscape

Ok sadly none of us seemed to think about this...
Typically, when I open facebook, I see a list of posts, then I back out and I see notifications screen, then I back out again and think its still running but in reality, its actually turned off.
Instead of backing out of the program like anything else, just hit the home button to exit fb and notifcations work just fine.

Same here. I am also using the official app and no notifications are being pushed to me either, and they are enabled. I am running stock software on my G2. My girlfriend has Mytouch 3G and she gets the notifications. Pretty weird stuff.
I just did the facebook app update the other day and my notifications are now working.
I am running CM 6.1.1
make sure in facebook app settintgs you have a CHECK next to notifications and refresh interval set to 1 hour.
also make sure contact sync is ON, which might help?
I don't use facebook.
Ehh, I'm not gunna complain, the fb is 100% better than it was half a year ago.lol. but yeah, +1 for the no notifications.

well like i said above, dont back out of the program, just hit the home button and leave it running.
if using a task killer, ignore FB. i have been getting notifications since yesterday when i tried this. apparently, FB must be running in order for notifications to work, exiting the program or killing it completely does not allow for push notifications to run thru.
Flow for Facebook is a really good alternative app. It has an option to use the email notifications you get from facebook and switch that over to use for the app. For example, If someone comments on my post I will see the email thing appear but it will disappear and switch to the flow notification saying its for facebook and what not. Theres an option to delete the emails too when it gets notified(paid version). Try it out, I have both official and flow. Flow is so i get instant notifications and the official is just for playing around because flow doesnt have chat yet.
Congrat' : you've just given your Fb IDs to a private company !
but same probleme here... I wish I could receive several sort of notifications... (birthday, event...). Now, I just receive mail....
I get notifications you need to set it up in facebook? If you not done that take a look at privacy settings. I requested on notifications when people add me on post on my wall that's it to many get really annoying......

I don't bother with the FB app notifications, they don't seem to work anyway. I just use the FB texts.
Well, I gave up on the FB App notifications months ago. So I just set up my account so it sends me texts anytime I get a notification. Way easier, at least for me. I didn't have that many problems with notifications still, but they were always late. Like a minute or so. Texts are faster, at least with me. Just saying :3
I never have problems getting notification from fb. They also are going right thru gmail

Gmail Widget problem

Hi All,
Got my Nexus 7 in Dublin Airport T2 Dixons yesterday with no queues, fuss or drama, no pre orders to worry about, just walked up and paid... love it so far however one little issue i have.
Adding the Gmail widget is fine. Inbox emails show all is good in the world. If I put it to sleep and then open after a few mins the emails in the widget do not show... just blank!!!!! any ideas. The gmail account is fine and all emails in here but the widget just seems faulty.
Thanks
Darren
I use that widget with no problems at all,are you using the stock launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Just tried it on mine and when adding the widget, it prompts which label (or folder, e.g. Inbox, sent, etc.). I picked Inbox and like yourself nothing showed up although I have 3 read emails in my Inbox. So I flagged one as unread again and removed and re-added the widget and hey presto all 3 emails show. Now when I actually read the email the 3 emails still show, all greyed out as read. Looks like a little bug in the code to me ?
Same issue on new Nexus 7

I don't have this issue under 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note 2 but I can reproduce it under CyanogenMod 4.2.2 on a Galaxy Nexus and on my brand new 2nd Gen Nexus 7. When I add the widget it works fine. Go to sleep and it turns blank.
I've got the same issue in motorola RAZR M and samsung S4. The problem is that for some reason the gmail force closes in the background (i see a error) and then the widget goes blank. I use apex launcher and no task killer apart from swiping away the apps using default app switcher.

No Facebook Push Notifications on Nexus 4

Has anyone had issues with no push notifications appearing from the Facebook app on their Nexus 4? I've reinstalled many times, but no dice.
Nope; I get Facebook notifications just fine. Not sure what to suggest might be causing your problem.
That's a good thing! I turn my Facebook notifications off anyways.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
i'm having this issue too. Email notifications are also absent. Under settings it shows "sync on" as well as in the actual apps, notifications are turned on.
Both my N4 (cellular data) and Vibrant (on wifi only) are next to each other on my desk and i get every email and fb notification on the vibrant but not the N4. Setting within the apps are identical to each other. This is rather annoying
Ditto...no notifications for me either...I think it's a 4.2 bug because I don't get them on my nexus 7 either

just uninstalled and reinstalled... Problem solved. I get notifications now
Did you, by chance, restore from a TiBu backup? If so, it broke my notifications for Twitter and Facebook. It was corrected by uninstalling and reinstalling.
Push notifications work just fine on my stock N4... are you using any task managers by chance?

Go to Facebook. Hit the button with a vertical ellipsis and check your Refresh Interval. Change it to the frequency you prefer (Never is good for me
If that doesn't solve the problem, or you were already not on Never, go to our Sync quick tile from the notification bar. I'm on ParanoidAndroid, and can enable a Sync tile, but it may be different for you. Anyway, make sure you have"Auto-sync app data" enabled.
If none of these work, and you are receiving push notifications from other apps, then go to Settings>Apps>Facebook and clear data. Relogin to Facebook and make sure the refresh interval is not Never.

no backup up. pure stock.
Have you wiped data from "Google framework services"? If you did, that's the reason notifications are not getting pushed in.
Reinstalling the apps or re logging to them should solve the problem. Or just doing a factory reset works too.

No gmail notifications- missing since I came from official rom

This is not a new problem for me- I've has this problem over a month, ever since i came from stock.. Googgled the hell out of this too! I've built my own ROMs- i work in IT for a living! What am i missing??
Okay, I'll Tell you all the obvious things that I've checked that should make it work..
yes I have gmail sync checked under accounts
Right now I'm using aoip lollipop(so some of what I say below may be features it or lollipop has), but I've used aosp, aokp both on kit Kat- with the same problem.. deleted app data for gmail, reinstalled from play store..
In the gmail app I have gone to settings, clicked my gmail account, made sure it says notification enabled, notify all emails, chose my tone- even went into each label and turned it on.. I should be getting a ding every five seconds! Silence.
Even went into settings - under privacy, filter notifications, there's nothing listed. Under sounds and notification, I found gmail, and even set it as a priority notification.
I've hit volume up and made sure it says all.(it shows me to chose no notifications, priority, or all)
I get 0 gmail notifications.
So.. In stumped. I used to be annoyed by how often gmail would go off- but now I really need it, at LEAST for a few labels!
Hell, I'm getting notifications in this XDA app.. Why not gmail?? Oh, there's a Facebook one right now! Grrr...
Please, someone help, and no I'm no noob, so don't be a condescending jerk about it either.. I see too much of that on here anymore, which is why I've gone a MONTH+ trying to figure it out myself, before posting here..

I'm on PAC ROM 4.4.4(different ROM than when I originally posted, same issue), no notifications for gmail with it turned on, picked a sound, and turned on notifications on EVERY label- I GET NOTHING - not on several other kit Kat Roms.. Download, reinstall, clear data.. Nothing has worked!
My email is incredibly important to me, especially right now.. Someone, please read above post and help me out..
