If I use a third party email app, is there any way to get notifications? For example, the Asus Cover App has an email icon on the clock screen but I never see notifications there. I am guessing that is somehow tied to the default email app which I don't use. I'm using AquaMail and I have looked there for any kind of setting to achieve that but have not found anything.
Thought I'd bring this up to the top one more time. Does anyone know if this can be done?
I'm not using the built in email app. However, I would like notifications to show on the clock with the circle app. I'm using AquaMail, and it DOES give me notifications, but they do not show under the email icon in the circle app. Can this be done, or no?

Im not sure if this just isnt part of the OS yet but is there any app other than the email & text messaging apps that use push notifications? anyone know if its something that is directly related to multitasking or is it just a feature that was left out due to time constraints? I've tried looking up this info but havent had any luck. Thanks in advance for any info.
I don't know if there is an app that uses "push" right now but I believe 3rd part apps e.g. weather or other apps can use "push" if they want to.
I don't think there are any at the moment but someone will probably create one.
i have seen two. pageonce and i belive the weather channel's app does as well. i think it does at least....it updates the weather on the home tile every 4 hours...without launching the app...so i could assuming its using notifcations. but pageonce for sure uses it, i've been getting my notifications often.
yes 1st, 2nd, 3rd party apps can use push notification,There are a few apps out there weatherbug is anohter.. I have an app that uses push as well its going through the process now to be added to the marketplace.. it send you push alerts when you fav. tv show is about to air.
I'm creating a new thread to inquire about this because I've been looking and looking without any luck. I'm simply looking for a simple e-mail icon with an unread e-mail counter built in. Just like the HTC E-mail widget or Hancent's widget for that matter.
I'm shocked that LP+ doesn't come with something like this standard. I feel it should be the first widget to be developed. Right?!
I have seen some other widgets around but most are not 1x1 and the ones that are have a completely different look to them and are not free.

Menu-preferences-dock settings-unread gmail count
I downloaded the Unread Gmail Counter widget from the Market. But I need something for the regular e-mail application. Besides, I would like someone on my homescreen, not the dock.
Nobody?! Really?! I'm shocked!
Hey Guys and Gals of XDA,
Kinda wondering if anyone has come across an app that will change how android handles when we get a new gmail email.
Currently when you get a new email you get a notification in the drawer.. Im looking for an app to change that. I dont want any notification in the drawer. I just want an unread email number to show up on the icon on the home screen. SMS message app does this when you get a new message.
If anyone has any known apps or wants to develop one id be full game..
Thanks
That is not possible for the time being. It used to be, but then GMail removed the API that allowed this (for security reasons)

We will have to wait until GMail offers this through some other type of functionality.

Use the plug in for Go Launcher (Go Notifications), of course, implies that you have to use Go Launcher, but it's a very good launcher.

The same problem I mention affects Go Launcher too (as well as any other apps that used to provide unread count)

-------Important--------
The Gmail app has updated to new version and the API we uses to access your Gmail in our Notification app is being removed in Gmail.
We will continue support Gmail notification if your Gmail app doesn’t update to the newest version. But once your Gmail is updated, the notification option will be removed from GO Launcher.

So, this is a gmail thing, don't upgrade to the latest version or downgrade to the previous version. I haven't upgraded to the latest version, my notifications show up.
i am using nova launcher prime on my gs3 and am looking for an email application replacement that has an icon that will show the unread email count. The stock application because being used with a 3rd party launcher does not do this.
seems really odd to me that there is not may out there that do this.
ideally i would like to have an app like the htc email client that allows you to have shortcuts to individual accounts on the homescreen and these the will show unread counts for each account.
any suggestions?

Touchdown for Android
Nova launcher has "Unread Count" and works fine for me. Just change the setting to show unread count on stock email app.

From all the reading I have done, it appears that the unread count not showing on the gmail app is a known issue? When I get text messages, I see a "1" overlay on my messages icon. But not for Gmail. I did see an app in the play store that is "supposed" to fix this. Or would I be better served by flashing a custom rom. It seems pretty absurd to me that an OS made by google doesnt have overlays for Gmail.

I think that's a TouchWiz feature. And thats why it only works with the messages and built-in email app, etc.
I use Nova Prime, I think the pay version of most launchers includes that. But, I never found a free launcher that did it.

Nova might do it, if you install the tesla unread plugin, but I'm not sure. Picked up Prime when they had the $.25 sale and have loved it
Tried out nova prime with tesla unread plugin and it works decent. Without some app I don't know of a way to get the unread number on not stock apps.

When I have new emails in my Gmail account, there's a little icon in the notification bar. Ans when I swipe it down, it even shows me the titles of the emails. I know this doesn't solve ur problem, but it works for me.

I have the same thing. The notification bar just seems very crowded to me and I end up overlooking the notification. More of a personal problem than anything but would be a nice feature to have standard.
