Some recent update to the "Google" app has started making it create notifications for news stories it is just sure I'm dying to read (I'm not). I went to Settings > Notifications and the list of apps there doesn't include "Google". I went to Settings > Apps > Google and it does exist and has a Notifications setting I can use to turn off notifications.
Any clues why Google isn't there in one place, and is there in another?

I want to be able to mute the Samsung "Email" app (work email) when I'm at my desk. Reason is, I don't need three devices alerting me that I have an email when I'm already sitting there starting at outlook. However, I don't want to completely mute my phone. I still want other alerts, ringtones, and notifications to work. I just want to turn off the notifications for the default "Email" app. Is this possilbe? I have a handful of writable NFC tags. I couldn't find any app in the playstore that offered this as a standard option. The only option I could find is muting the entire phone.
I see the Email App can be muted two different ways, could be many more:
1. Settings > Sound > Samsung applications > Email > [account name] > "Email notifications"
2. "Email" app >Settings > Account Settings > [account name] > Notification Settings > "Email notifications"
Any help would be great! Thanks!
Everyone,
I know how to go into application manager and uncheck the "show notifcations" box to stop notifications from application / games.
What is happening though, is the manufacturers of the games / apps. are releasing frequent updates to their game / app., which then resets the "show notifications" box to checked, and I am being woke up in the middle of the night several times a week by my phone receiving these marketing pushes from the recently updated game / app.
I work in I.T., and receive pages to my phone, (I use Missed Messages to make sure I get and acknowledge important messages), so I just can't disable all notifications in the evening hours.
Is there a way to permanently, even after updates, make sure that the "show notifications" box stays unchecked at all times for an application or game?
Maybe a notification manager app, or a setting I can manually modify, (without negatively impacting Missed Messages and my work related pages)?
Thank you!

P.S. My phone is a T-mobile, Note 3, stock (not rooted).

I think you mean playstore not application manager?
Are you letting the apps 'auto update' ?
If so,turn off in playstore and then you can update apps when you want,when done turn of notifications again.
What you can try:
Greenify (app) all the apps. It basically shuts down all apps you add to the list through Force Stop. Usually shuts them up for me.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver works on a similar process.
Hi,
I use an thid party email app, Bluemail on my phone and would like to either delete or "silence" the default email app. As of now I get double notifications on every mail. I cannot seem to figure out hoe to turn off notifications or delete the default app.
Anyone?
Cheers!
Hi,
Did you try to remove your account from the standard email app by just set it back to it's defaults?
maybe:
Settings - > Applications - > Application Manager - > Email - > Storage - > Clear data and Clear cache)
Or(if you just don't want to see notifications from the mail app) disable the notifications from it by:
Settings - > Applications - > Application Manager - > Email - > Notifications - > disable Allow notifications
So both ways should work to get rid of notifications from the build in email app but with the second you will be able to use it further.
Hope I could help you.

Hi there
I have this issue again where I don't receive notifications with Google Inbox app when I receive email.
I had this issue before on my s6 and it was related to power saving. There was a way to fix this and only for a specific app. But now I can't find it even did Google Search.
Also tried to look into it via S8 settings everywhere but can't find it and I don't want to shut off power savings mode.
Any idea how I can disable it just for specific apps?
you'll need to set Inbox to "Apps not optimized"
in battery usage (device maint. > battery > battery usage > 3 dots > optimized apps )
choose All apps then turn off toggle for Inbox.
I've been having this kind of problem with WhatsApp. I see the notification icon arrive but it doesn't really notify me with sound until after a couple of minutes.
Hopefully what @crayonyes wrote is what I needed. Thanks in advance!
Thanks. I did that. Unfortunately still doesn't work. I checked everything, all notifications & sync is on. I even put Inbox as high priority app. Still no notifications.
I've had so many problems with Google Inbox & notifications on my previous Galaxy and now again. Just really annoying it persists.
Not sure what to do now.

Try clearing data for Gmail. This has worked for a few people.
I am unable to disable Group notifications and Message notifications under Chats. This setting is under Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications > Whatsapp. If I disable after some time I find slider is again green and notifications show up. Is there no permanent way to disable notifications as sometimes notifications are annoying as they keep filling up on the home page. Thanks
You can disable the notifications completely under Apps & notifications -> notifications and choosing the app you wish and turning off notifications as a whole or turn it off for specific category.
Hi. Ya thats what I have done. If you read my query I have disabled group and regular notifications yet after some time it shows up under notifications and when I go to check settings they revert back to allowed (Green Dot). It says as Grey Dot only for some time. Is this an issue with all android devices or specific to this device?
you can just disable the notification entirely in the application setting.
