(sorry for the typo in the headline - it's of course the 'PFG' build I'm referring to...)
If flashing the new stock firmware for my S7E, I have suddenly noticed that no notification icons (with counters) whatsoever (for missed calls, text messages, emails) are now being displayed on AOD.
This is what I know for sure:
My S7E (with the PFG firmware installed) does NOT display AOD notification icons for:
- New/unread Email messages (built-in Samsung app)
- New/unread Gmail messages
But since I haven't been using the S7E for that long, and because I'm a bit of a 'flashing addict' (flashing every new firmware as soon as it becomes available), I have to admit that I can't be 100% percent sure that this wasn't also the case with my last installed firmware build (PF3).
Nevertheless, I distinctly remember actually seeing AOD notification icons for (in the very least) missed calls and text messages in some of my earlier installed builds...
The strange thing is: My S7E is perfectly able to show notifications for new/unread Gmail messages on the Edge screen, when I do the back-and-forth swipe on the AOD screen... So why not have a similar notification icon and counter for new/unread Gmail messages on the AOD screen? This totally baffles me... ;/
Are any of you guys out there experiencing anything similar? I really hope you can help me shed some more light on this issue.
I just tested on pg3 and calls, messages and mail show up like they should. I'm pretty sure It'll go away after a clean flash. Maybe try clearing cache from recovery first.

I'm talking about notification icons on the AOD (Always On Display). And the AOD does NOT display notifications of new emails messages, neither in Gmail or the built-in (Samsung) Email app...

Hi all, copy and paste from Amon_RA's thread which I've posted in also. I'm running Amon_RA's 1.6.1 ROM and am wondering if the following happens to you as well? If it does, what ROM are you running? Is it donut-based? Thank you.
Some bugs/features in 1.6.1? I'm not too sure if it's intended to function this way in Donut, hence the bug/feature portion. I'm experiencing the following problem on 1.6.1, with email notification and vibration turned on:
Assuming I do not have any email notifications currently, and I have zero unread mail in my email. When I receive a new email (be it for one or two email at a time), my phone will vibrate and have the notification, as expected.
However, this is where things get different. If I were to ignore the notification (let it remain there) or clear the notification WITHOUT tapping on it and going into Gmail, any subsequent emails I receive will only result in having the LED blinking, and the number of unread count in the notifications bar will increase. The phone does not vibrate, neither does it ring.
If I were to tap on the notification and enter Gmail, then my phone will vibrate and notify me again. This happens regardless of whether I read the unread emails in Gmail, or let them remain unread.

Anyone?
Yup, I concur.
I just tested this. Received an email, cleared the notification. Then sent another email to myself from browser. My phone didn't vibrate and notify me, except with the green LED.
Cleared the notification by opening Gmail.
Then i re-sent the same email, notification & vibration is back again.
Wondered what's wrong, i've got a feeling that the flag is set wrongly too.
Ive posted this to Google already but have yet to receive a reply..
Hi all,
i have a question about notifications :
How long notifications such as a received text messages disappear from the notification bar?
I often have to go to the Friends of the widget to see the new sms icon in green, after 1 or 2 hours that i cant use phone and notifications disappear.
Tnx to all
Notifications normally don't disappear until you're explicitly read them or cleared them. Text notifications should still be there even if you restart your phone.

thanks for the reply, but I still have this problem with the notifications in the bar, as if there was a deadline in time, perhaps some setting?
maybe because i installed the ota 1.72?
I also find the notifications on this phone to be haphazard. I'm sure the light notifications clear after a short time. I've missed several important messages as a result.
I will monitor this more carefully since I am not 100% certain that this behaviour is actually happening -- but I think it is.
Just got this phone last week and same here. Notifications are fine for everything except SMS. I sometimes dont get:
a) A Notification of a new SMS.
b) the messages icon on my home screen, doesnt show a new text count, with a green circle and number.
When I go into messages, there is a new sms or sms's.
Im running 1.75.110.2
and kernel 2.6.32.21
Its a pain.
Concerning the no SMS notification, it's a known bug since the 1.72 update. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887098 .
I've concluded that SMS is a disaster on Android in all respects.

OK. I have been monitoring this for the last few days. I can now confirm that the notification light goes on when I receive a text (SMS) message but it does not stay on. So, if I don't notice the light at the time, I am unaware that there is a text message waiting for me.
I presume that this behaviour effects everyone running the 1.72 update.
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.
When I get app notifications for things like text messages or emails, entering the app directly and opening the corresponding message does not dismiss the notifications from the notification center. Is this normal behavior? I thought Lollipop did, but I could be mistaken. I either have to swipe the notification off, or click it to open the app to dismiss it.
I noticed the same, found it irritating and I got way to many notifications from all sorts of stuff, App's and OS. Eventually I disabled all notifications. The phone already makes a sound so i don't need any visuals.
I am getting the same issue, any fix/ workaround to get rid of the notifications?
In my case this seems to depend on the application. Whatsapp does this annoying thing, while Gmail and Inbox do not. I think that most apps are not yet updated properly for Marshmallow support.
I've had this happen before, and forgot what I did short of restoring the device to get the email notifications to show up, but I'm not going to keep that as a solution. I'm rooted, up to November's patch, running Xposed, running flatstylebars under Xposed, and running Xtouchwiz. I tried disabling both of them. I have used Blue Mail, Alto, Gmail, and not getting any notifications other than the badge via Tesla and Nova on the dock. No notices in the notifications bar, and none on the lock screen. I've gone through and made sure every notification is set for even in Do Not Disturb mode. Rebooted more times than I care to count. Anyone have an idea why these just flaked out, and how to get them back? Using Evolve for messages because apparently when you root, Samsung's default messenger quits sending on AT&T, but those notifications show up, and so do Facebook messengers'.
