Hey folks
I am new to android/galaxy s7 edge...coming over from an iPhone. I had a newbie question...when I get a GMail notification, the phone vibrates and I get an unread email icon in the notification bar. I can pull it down to see the actual notification.
However, the new email does not show up as a popup notification (like an SMS for example) so that I can delete, mark as read it right away without the need to pull down the notification shade. Is that something I can enable?
I hope I am explaining this correctly. Thanks for your help!
No ideas?

Download Floatify from the Play Store. Once installed go through the initial setup. Once finished with that, click the "Heads Up" button>select the first option "Which">select the first option "App Settings"
From there I unchecked all apps and only selected what I wanted. In your case, select Gmail and any other apps you want. The reason I specified an app as opposed to selecting all, is because some apps already do this and I don't want two pop ups for one notification.
Good luck.

Hi all,
Haven't found anything with the search, so I'm opening a new thread for this.
Everytime you receive an e-mail or a text message, etc. you will receive a notification in the top bar.
If I select the message and mark it as read, the notification will still be there. I will have to clear it manually. Can this somehow be changed so I don't have to clear it myself?
Thanks for your help.

Hi - Not sure about this one.. When I get a new email notification I usually click on the notification to take me to my emails... and that clears it from the list.. I will try going into email separately and see what happens.
Hi im_iceman,
I do the same. I click on the notification which brings me to the email or text message or whatever else. But the notification stays in the notification bar. it's only visible if you go into the notification bar though, but it will stay there forever unless you clear it.
It's not a major issue, but would be nice to have it automatically removed once you select the item from the notification bar.

Hello everyone,
Just made the switch from iphone to Android after having iphones for the last 5 years. After 4 days of familiarizing myself with s4 I love it more and more.
I've disabled many programs to speed up the phone and now I have 2 problems.
1. My phone does not automatically receive emails and does not send me notifications to the bar. I checked the email settings and it says send notifications all my email addresses. I assume I disabled some app that controls notifications.
2. Text messages- when I receive a text message. In the notification bar it just says Text Message. My wife has S3 and hers shows the actual text message in the notification bar.
3 I don't receive notifications about app updates that are available. I believe when I first got the phone, it sent me a notification to the bar stating I have updates to do.
I think I disabled one or more processes that control all those features. I looked through them many times and cant figure out which one it could be.
Thank you,
Max
My advice, I would do a factory reset, that way you go back to stock that puts the rom back to factory settings, and start your procedure again. It would a heck of alot easier to do this as it can down right frustration trying this and that.
Those features you are talking about are enabled by default. Lets start there, if you see it didn't help, we will try something else.
good luck
Go into the message app settings, and make sure the settings are as you want them, if you want to try that first.
Hi,
is there an easy way on Android 4.3 (or with an application), to have a 2-3 lines preview of mail received and mark it as read from the lockscreen ?
I receive many emails during the day and it is too fastidious to have to unlock the phone, go to the mail application and mark mail as read.
I have tried NiLS and Dashlock but it doesn't do this.
Thank you
You're looking for an application that supports this. I don't know any, but some allow you to mark the email as read from the notification, you could just drag down the notification bar. If you can't do that (lockscreen security), there's an Xposed module that allows you to see the notification panel even when the phone is locked.
Also, FN (there may be other similar apps) can show you notification bubbles on the lockscreen, and allows you to choose quick actions.

Thank you for your answer.
Which application can let me mark an email as read from the notification bar please ? (that should be a great solution if, by swaping, I can mark mail as read.
Thanks

CloudMagic is the most recent one I've used that does (no swapping, you just press a "Mark Read" button in the notification).

Oh you don't know an app that modifies the notification center without having to use a third party mail application ?
I really dont like to use a third party mail app as many time, it acts like a proxy and can have a copy of your inbox or your password.
Thank you

No, the application would have to support it itself, nothing to do with the "notification center".
Is there something I have to mess with in order to get notification icons to show properly on the AOS? I tested it with Hangouts and GMail, and there are no icons showing, though the notification LED does flash. Does it take a while to register, or did I not set something up properly?
until samsung decides otherwise, only samsung stock apps will show in always on display! namely messages, email and calls!
perhaps someone will write an xposed module sometime in the future...

Interesting. Because I had a "4 email" notification at one point, but have never had my gmail account go through the samsung mail app. I then cleared my inbox of unread emails and the notification went away. Must have been a fluke.
Is there a way to hide message previews when screen is unlocked? For instance, say you're browsing the web and you receive a message... When you pull down on notification bar, you can read who sent it and what was said, as opposed to "new message" then having to click that to get into your messaging app . I know it sounds kinda redundant, but I got used to it that way on my old s8 and can't figure out how to turn off "preview messages". Maybe port the Samsung messages app over to this phone? Thanks.
You can try to turn off heads up notifications system wide using one of the numerous guides available on the net. Didn't try as I don't want to disable them.
i used method #1 located here..

Hmm. I still want to get the notification and I can disable the pop-up anyway. I'm looking to disable the actual "peek" method. For instance when my Gmail syncs and gives me a notification on my status bar, when I pull down it'll show me who the emails are from, instead of just saying "3 new emails", which is what I'd prefer.
