Guys, i'm trying to figure out if it's a phone problem, a software problem or a provider problem, but my situation is as follows.
When i'm on WiFi i have Gmail push notifications instantly (sometimes faster than my PC). The same with Facebook, when on WiFi it sends the notifications normally.
When i'm on 3G i never get Gmail notifications unless i open the gmail app and "Update". Same with Facebook (and twitter). If i have it to update every 1 hour, it doesn't auto-update on 3G unless i sync.
I tried everything...factory reset, uninstall gmail and reinstall...clear app data and cache...Auto-sync is on
I'm currently on 1.29.401.7, but problem was the same on 1.28.401.9
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same issue. It is driving me insane
Hey Guys,
My Facebook app was working great but out of no where it stop working properly. I am having trouble in syncing of Facebook Contacts to "People". I uninstalled & installed this app but all in vain. Problem is still there, app itself is working great, notifications & messages keep coming, but in Settings>Accounts>Facebook nothing shows up in there (No checkbox), no settings about contacts, no nothing about sync.
Help me guys. Thanks.
It's either a bug in the last update from November 15th or it was removed purposely. I no longer have it either.
Hello,
I updated my Sprint Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) to CyanogenMod 10.2 yesterday.
I flashed the latest gapps, and I updated my gmail apps to the latest one on the play store (4.7.1).
However, when I receive emails I don't get any notifications. However I still receive emails, and if I press refresh, then I got notifications.
I read lots of posts about it, but most of them told to check synchronization. Which I did.....everywhere.
I went to Account -> Google and checked GMail.
I went to Data Usage -> Menu and checked Auto-sync data
I went to GMail apps -> Settings and checked Sync GMail
I went to GMail apps -> ... @gmail.com settings and checked label notifications and set ringtones
I checked that gmail was not checked in Privacy Guard, and that the app was allowed to push notifications.
I tried to revert to gmail apps 4.5, clear data, remove google accounts and add it again, reboot the phone, re-update the gmail apps.
I tried from WiFi and 4G.
Nothing worked.
I don't feel like it's a sync issue, as I well received email (even if it's not instant).
I did a fresh install of CM 10.2 (stable), wiped cache and everything (I had stock ROM before).
I also think I do not receive facebook notifications.
Does these applications need to run in the background to get notifications ? Because when I come back to desktop after checking mails for example and goes to Manage Apps -> Running, GMail is not in there.
Thank you.
Edit: Could it be an issue with GCM ?
Edit: At some points I received notification (30min after I sent the test email).
A question is, how does gmail app works ? Is it synchronizing and emitting notification if new messages, or the other way around, if receiving new messages, emit a notification and synchronize ?
To test GCM, I downloaded Push Notification Test, and I can trigger the notification (step 3), but the system never receive it.
However I'm not sure why. Is there a way to restart gcm ? (I already tried to reboot, but it doesn't change anything.
I tested to disable profiles, just in case one of the profile overrides notifications. No luck.
It seems I sometimes receive notifications but sometimes after a long time after I receive the email.
Did anyone already got this kind of issue ?

Your not alone. The one thing i loved about the GMAIL app was the instant email notifications.
Now it takes hours (if it all) to notify me of an email since the update of 4.7.1.
Really would like a fix too (using a Galaxy Note 3)
EDIT: Seems to be working for me now. I updated all google apps on the phone, and in chrome i was logged in under another email, and relogged into mine. Then i tested it and appears to be working for now.
Hope this helps

In the changelog of 4.7.1 they said they fixed the sync, but I'm not sure it's completely fixed.
All my apps are up-to-date on my phone, and I don't have chrome. I'm never logged on my gmail with my browser and I don't have other gmail address.
That's annoying.
But I think I don't receive FB notifications either. I think it's more an issue in the CM. Do you use Cyanogen too ?

The problem is happening to me again. Its only since the update a few days ago which is really annoying. I am using stock so shouldn't be your mod. I had no sync problems before the update, but now the inbuilt email app beats the gmail app every time, to the point the gmail app doesnt even send notifications anymore.
Im at a loss as to what to do

As for me, I'm not sure this is the app, because as I said I also don't receive FB notifications.
And I also tried with gmail 4.5 and it didn't work either. After I revert to 4.5, I sent myself a test email, and I got the notification immediately, but after that, I sent other email, and this time I got no notifications anymore.
Hi guys I just bought a m8 from T-Mobile and I haven't been getting notifications at all. The only time I get notifications is from sms and cloudmagic which is a email service. I have autosync on and made sure there's no setting that restricts background data and all that. I just don't get it. Anyone have any ideas? I'm on 4.4.3 stock unrooted.
can you be more specific? apps not notifying you?
In general like gmail and Google plus and instagram and twitter. Basically all of them aren't giving me notifications at all and when I open the apps they have updated already. Its just not notifying me by notifications at all
Hi everyone,
Is anyone else experiencing intermittent missed notifications by Gmail? Problem has been around since android 7.0 and still not fixed. The usual fixes like checking to receive notifications for all emails, removing gmail from battery optimization etc... doesn't work. Anyone know why Google isn't fixing this issue?

Gmail only has normal priority GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) messages, so when doze goes into effect you won't get push notifications. Because Gmail is normal priority, notifications are queued until the next GCM idle maintenance window, which is every few hours I think.
Messaging apps such as Facebook messenger and WhatsApp have high priority GCM messages, which you will get instant push notifications for. Until Google changes Gmail messages from normal to high priority, there is no way around the delayed notifications.
