Notification clearing delay - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi!
Like a lot of people, I've had problems with push notifications which seem to have been at least partially solved by exempting specific apps from battery optimization. The other issue I'm seeing with notifications is that they are not cleared or have a long delay. For example, if I delete an email in gmail on my computer, the phone notification will take at least two minutes to clear. This sometimes happen in reverse - I'll delete/read an email on my phone, and the gmail web will still show the email as unread.
Also, if I get a notification from facebook, if I clear it on my computer it won't be cleared on the phone. This I suspect might be a Nova launcher problem, but I'm not sure as I've had so much trouble with notifications even before I switched to Nova.
Can anyone help sort out the notification clearing problems?

Anyone?

Notification sounds stop working. (Bug found)

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.

still happening on JB (EOS3)

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

Stop repeating in alerts in any stock ROM?

I have noticed that for the stock messaging app, that it repeats the alerts over and over again. It seems to repeat the alert about 1 minute after a new email and then eventually settles down to about every 15 minutes. It will do this forever until you clear the notification. This is extremely annoying particularly at night.
I cannot find anywhere in the menus to disable repeat alerts which seems crazy. Am I missing something?
This does not happen to me
Have you installed any other messaging apps? Even if you have uninstalled it, I've had my notifications messed up. Also, do you have any widgets which display your messages?
Good luck.

Dismissing Notifications

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.

Not the first time with emails...

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'.
