Hi im new to xda and I had a problem with notifications . I seem to get no notifications at all, i have looked around the internet and I found out it had something to do with my google account. They suggested i remove the account then sign in again. I did this, I got my notifications but, I only get it when the account is removed. As soon as i sign back in i get no notifications besides sms. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it. I need my google account for the play store contacts etc. but, I want my notifications.(rooted on stock)
Sounds as if you have a 3rd party app that is controlling your notifications, my problem with this is how can you possibly get notifications with no google acct active? Now that is strange.

Just today I started receiving facebook notifications on the top notification bar but I have never signed into facebook from the phone. I also checked the website and all of my notifications are turned off. I only get them when someone sends me a message and when I drag the bar down and click on it nothing happens. It is becoming really annoying so I would greatly appreciate any help.
If its popping under notifications then it would be because of a facebook app that u must of signed into at one point in time and to shut off notifications go into the face book app when the app loads push back sp yr at the screen of fifteenth options then just click the button next to the home button to bring up setting witch u can fix in there or just easily sign out

I have never signed into the Facebook app on the phone. In fact, I just did a factory reset after I had to SBF back to froyo to install the pre-rooted gingerbread. I even tried deleting the facebook app and still got the notifications. It shows up like an email notification, but with the email when you click on it it opens the email. With this notification, if you click on it, it just goes away but nothing else happens.
Then I have no clue of how to help u but if u don't have anything installed on ur phone yet u could all ways try to do another factory reset

I never said I didn't have anything on my phone; I did a factory reset a week ago and since then I have installed alot of the apps/games I had prior. Facebook was one of the apps I installed, but I never signed in. Never before today have I received these notifications. I didn't think it was the facebook app since I never signed in, but I deleted it anyway and still got the notification. This would lead me to believe it is not linked to the actual facebook app itself. Within the past day, I have done anything that would lead me to believe it was behind these notifications.
Did you add a Facebook account through Blur? That is another possibility as the built in account system sends you notifications for some things, including messages.

Yes, but the reason I didn't think it was that is because the notifications just began yesterday and I have received messages prior to that with no notification. Do you know where I can get to the settings for that? When I go into "My Accounts" and click on Facebook it only gives me the option of removing account.
I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear. This happens allot but not all of the time. I have notifications enabled for my 4 accounts, like I said it shows sometimes and not for specific accounts.

This is a continuation of a thread I saw in T-Mobile. I am having this issue as well and I wish there was a fix!
Guess no one else has this issue?
Alrighty, Stu,...
We played this game regarding the forced closed Email app,...I'm going to wait and see what you find out regarding the email notification disappearing instead of trying to figure it out myself and realize you already found out the cause AFTER I spent the time figuring it out on my own,...
Won't fool me twice, sir!!
Nimitch the ball is in your court. I have no idea why the damn notifications show then disappear. Please figure it out and let me know. I am stumped!
same here on dissapearing
Anyone have any idea in how to solve this? This is driving me crazy
Yeah I have this issue also. Though it was just me.

I have the issue also. I installed the email and exchange apk's from the 4.4 dump and everything seems to be working well. Maybe it is just an issue with the Samsung email app. I would revert back if it gets fixed as I liked the Samsung app.

I dont know but this is absolutely driving me crazy.
Had the same problem with Samsung app, I think it was happening when you were getting mail on one account and new mail was coming to another. I switched to 4.4 and uninstalled the original samsung one. I love how every account in 4.4 has a separate notification area. I wish it had an option to disable multiple message stacking though.
Hi guys,
i've updated to KitKat from 4.3 on my Nexus and now i am not receiving new email sound notifications unless i open the app and mark all messages as read. This is my work account (exchange) and the issue is really annoying because my daily email flow is about 100 messages. Most require my attention right away and i have to turn the phone on and off every few minutes to see if new message is there.
i've tried re-adding the account, changed notification sound, updated to 4.4.1 and then to 4.4.2 but the issue is still there.
any suggestions?
device is complete stock.

I'm having the same issue here. Did not notice the issue on 4.4 or 4.4.1 but as soon as I updated to stock 4.4.2 the issue showed up. Sometimes the unread email will be there if I open the app but no notification sound or icon. I'm also getting delayed push emails randomly. It seems to work fine for an hour or two then no emails will show up unless I manually pull and I'll get a flood and e-mails will come in normally for a while.

i am still getting emails pushed, but no notification sounds...
any ideas how to fix this???
I tried wiping my device and flashing the factory image, issues remain.
Something I have noticed is that the second I open the Email application, the messages show up in the list .. of course no notifications.. Another behavior is that when the sync is configured with "Push" it is supposed to be realtime, and before KitKat, it was that way.. I'd get an alert on my phone the next second I received an email.. However, that also seems to be screwed up as well. I was hoping this 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 would resolve the issue but it didn't.
So I contacted google about this yesterday and the first few emails went nowhere. Then they transferred me to a 'specialist', here is their response:
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your response. Not being able to sync your emails through exchange is frustrating. I would be more than happy to assist you in syncing with the Exchange server. Unfortunately, at this time in order to sync with the Exchange server you need to access a third party app through 'Google Play'. In the future there may be updates to the Android OS that may allow for syncing with the Exchange server. Currently, Kitkat is unable to facilitate syncing with the Exchange server.
If you have any further questions, concerns or downloading a third party app does not resolve the issue please feel free to reply to this email or contact us at support.google.com.
Best Regards,
Valerie
The Google Support Team

WOW!
Will they pay for that third party application for us???
I remember how everybody was bashing Apple when their update broke exchange sync. But they fixed it quite fast.
Never thought i will see that approach from Google...
Very sad
anybody was able to fix the issue?
anyone?
still have this annoying issue!

Same here.. I really need a fix for this, I keep missing important messages
I think Google tweaked the email client to turn off notifications unless you open the app. If you get the first email, it will make a sound. If you don't open the app and check it, it will stop notifying you of further emails. I'm really not sure what the solution will be to this issue..
This is on my Nexus 5, but I have the same email client that the N4 does.
you can change that in settings :

That's a Gmail setting, we're referring to the native email app that handles Exchange accounts
For me not
It always works for me
try using the application of your email provider(f.e. if you have a microsoft account use outlook.com app). that is what i do and i don't have any problem anymore. if you like to have all your different accounts in one application i would suggest to find another application. droid mail and k9 mail are quite good as far as i know

It makes an audible beep every time you get a new email in the "Email" app even if you don't open the app every time? Are you on 4.4.2?

I use it for my Exchange account for work email, there's no other email provider client. I'll see if I can get droid mail or K9, but they're relatively expensive options for just this 1 issue.
I noticed that I'll get an email notification, then look at the notification on my lock screen. If I don't open it, and just turn the screen off again, I'll get repeat notification sounds every 10 mins for the same email message. Its especially bad when im listening to something in the car or at work and I can't immediately swipe away the notification. I want to turn this repeat notofication off because its really annoying, but I can't figure out how. Anyone know??

I know it's been a while, but did you ever figure this out? I just added some work alerts to my Gmail account and this has been driving me nuts - it's great to have it alert me every 10 minutes all night long that something happened for 1 minute at 2AM, but I'd love to be able to make it stop. It only does it for Gmail for me, not for my Exchange account that's also configured in the Gmail app.

Okay, so MAYBE... maybe some useful information on this?
I went into the Gmail settings online - through the Gmail web interface. I saw that IMAP was enabled, and I disabled that there. After that, any emails that came into Gmail seem to only notify me once, as expected.
So, I can't say that's 100% the absolute solution, but if your problem was in Gmail, it's something to try?

Ok so this doesn't seem to work for me. I still get the repeat notifications at seemingly random intervals. Just out of curiosity, do you have POP enabled or disabled? Also, don't we need IMAP enabled to be able to access emails from another email client (i.e. the Inbox or Gmail app)?
I have POP disabled as well.
You don't need IMAP enabled for the Gmail app. Other apps maybe - I guess it depends on how they talk to your Gmail account. I thought it needed to be enabled for the mail client on my Windows 10 machine to talk to it, but it's still working with IMAP off, so I guess not?
Hello. Please, when i double click in gmail notification in aod, i read email but if i reopen app, the email is yet unreaded. When i delete a email from gmail app, random sync with gmail web page... Is this a known bug??? I repaet, random, not always and i din't understand why... Can anyome help me? Thanks
Nobody uses Gmail???
This is not a problem with the S8 but with Android Nougat. Its also not only Gmail related its all notifications on nougat are broken The best way to get SOME notifications back is to go to settings/apps/hamburger menu/special access/optimize battery usage/ and uncheck EVERYTHING. Next step is to (with root) use the app "Root- Push Notification Fixer" and set intervals to lowest possible settings. You will still not get all of them but at least you will get some of them..
Another fix is to install nova launcher and teslaunread to show bubbles on your icons when you have new notifications for that app. I have mine setup for about 7 apps and I ALWAYS get the bubble hours or days before a notification ever comes in (if they ever do).
In order to fix the issue specifically with gmail I use a different email app. I use aquamail, but there are a few good ones out there. I don't have notification or synching issues. I don't use the email on the phone a lot, a few times a day. I found a great improvement over using gmail.
