Strange, I am not getting GMail notifications since I have my Pixel 2XL
Messages stops working after few minutes after the screen is off
1. I have tried to reinstall GMail + clean cache/data
2. tried to use Inbox app but same results
3. Other email apps (Edisson Email) works fine with push notifications
4. All other apps using push notifications works like a charm
any sugestions?
Please check whether sync option is enabled.
users & accounts > Automatically sync data > Enable
Checked, done - other Google items like contacts calendars etc are syncing properly
I've had this issue with Gmail for at least 8 years on every phone I've owned. It works when it wants to, that's about all I've learned in that time.
Interesting thing now that I'm using Tesla Unread: Whenever Gmail is not doing it's thing, I will see a badge for unread messages even though there is no notification. Open Gmail, and it shows unread messages in the inbox menu (but not in the box itself). A minute or so after opening the app, it will download the message and give a notification.
I no longer rely on Gmail, because of this. It's been going on for years and many people have had the same issue.

Hey there everyone, just wanted to see if anyone's experienced the same problems as I have.
So I have 2 email accounts with gmail, one personal and one work account. I've enabled both of these accounts in both the mail app and the gmail app, and set notifications to be true for both accounts in each app.
Whenever a new email is sent however, it doesn't seem like the default mail app sends any notifications. Another thing is that even when I go into the app and force a sync, the icon on Home will only show the unread count for only 1 of the accounts.
I am still rather confused as to whether 'Sync Automatically' has to be turned on along with either WIFI/Mobile Internet to be able to receive notifications? Do you need to have 'Sync Automatically' enabled all the time, or would an active WIFI connection suffice?
Thanks in advance!
*Update*
It seems the Gmail App works fine, but not the Mail app regardless of whether only one or both are running... any ideas?
Bumping this up...
Anyone experience any problems with the default mail notifications?
I want to try using the Mail app instead of the GMail one, but is it actually possible to disable the GMail app without losing all the other functionality you get from logging into your Google account? - there seems to be a unified log in used by GMaps as well, for example. And when I try to remove the account in settings, it says I have to do a factory reset, this seems bonkers to me.
I couldn't manage to get my Google Mail account to sign into the Mail app...

Turn off sync for Gmail under Settings->Accounts & sync.
You might also want to switch of notifications in the Gmail app too.

Will the phone sync google mail contacts via imap on the mail app or do I need to stick to the gmail app for that?

I think you must have a different version from mine. I have
Settings - Accounts& Sync
Background Data (tickbox)
AutoSync (tickbox)
Manage Accounts
Google
Stocks
Weather
If I tick Google I get a new screen:
Sync calendar
Sync contacts
Sync Google Mail
Sync Picassa Web Albums
(These all just trigger a sync)
At the bottom there are 2 buttons, Sync Now and Remove Account.
If I try remove account a box pops up warning that it will delete all the data, I say OK, then another box that says it can't do it, I have to factory reset because it is required by some applications.
I have been using the Google Mail app since I've had my phone, but today came across a problem - I could not copy & paste a tracking # from an email. I then quickly set up my gmail in the Mail app, & was able to perform this action very easily.
So my question is: has anyone used both apps extensively, & could they give me a quick "pro's & cons"?

Here you go someone has already done that:

The only thing that really annoys me is the fact that your Mail widget does not update the list of emails unless you open the Mail application.
Even if you already updated the email list in your GMail appl.
For example: I receive an email. I get a notification in the notification bar. I open it and it takes me to the Gmail appl (by default). I check my emails, read them, exit the application.
However, my HTCMail Widget (sitting on the desktop) does not show any updates. I have to open the HTCMail manually, sync (again!) and only then can I see the updated list.
Aaaargh!
I've been tempted to move to using the mail application over the gmail one as well.
I think ill setup the mail application with my other gmail account then compare the 2
I much prefer the gmail app. I think its quicker and easier to reply, and it syncs straight away unlike the mail app.
Only downside is the lack of widget, but with the number of apps I have on my homescreens, this isn't an issue.
I always feel it's worth mentioning k9mail at this point, if only because it supports IMAP IDLE.
Stock ROM, Gmail stopped syncing. No more email comes in unless I manually go and hit refresh in the Gmail app, or go to settings and force sync it. This just started happening. Have the phone for almost a month without any issues, then as of say an hour ago, it just stopped syncing emails. No error messages in the sync menu. Normally if there is an issue with sync, there is a red exclamation mark stating an issue, but there isn't any. It just shows that Gmail was last synced at the last time I manually synced it.
Any thoughts?
Upon further testing, I see that Gmail does have an active connection to the server. If I mark an email unread in Gmail, it immediately reflects on the Gmail client in the Note II. If I send a test email, my Gmail.com shows the new email, but the Note II Gmail app does not until I manually sync it. It's very weird.
Clear data. Should work.
also you might try opening up your settings in gmail, and go through those settings. There is an option there to have gmail sync on or off. I was going to suggest clear data in the gmail app, but that already been suggested.
I used to have this problem frequently on my last phone. I never found a permanent fix but did notice that somehow the settings in gmail would change by themselves and gmail sync on/off was one of them as well as the one where you can decide to let it notify you for every email or just once for the initial email.

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 there,
I'm a Galaxy S10+ user and I recently brought S20+
I realized that my Gmail Sync doesn't seem to be working in real-time (I sometimes get notifications after like 30 minutes and I'm not on battery saver mode)
I tried to remove Gmail and re-add it again.
Did you face something similar? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sorry, but no issues on this side

I have Microsoft Outlook installed for my work email and run gmail through outlook and no issues...
yes gmail is not sending notifications properly esp if the email is not seen as primary and is going into an auxiliar inbox - there's no fix either so you just have to either use a different app or manually check every now and again!
Same problem here. I excluded GMail from the battery optimization and sleepers list, hopefully it helps.
same here
Also can confirm that gmail is so late in notifiyng
My s8+ and this 20+ both had issues with Gmail notifications. I have multiple Gmail accounts and found that the only way I could get half way reliable notifications from Gmail was to only use it for 1 Gmail account and use a separate app for all my other Gmail accounts. Since we use GApps at my work, my work account was used exclusively for Gmail app. I now also use the Samsung feature to force the Gmail app to stay open in memory. With it always open in memory and on never sleep list, it does pretty well.
I'm also having this problem. I was getting notifications before, but haven't in a few days. Almost seems like it stopped working when I got the ATD1 update, but that could be a coincidence. If I open Gmail, it shows new messages, I'm just not getting notification for them. I've tried turning off battery optimizations for Gmail (though I did get them before with it turned on), and I've tried clearing out Gmail's cache.
EDIT: I've gone back and deleted the cache again, but this time I also deleted the data, the disabled/re-enabled the app (I tried this before, but not deleting data). After all that I had to set up Gmail again, and did a test and got a notification. We'll see if it stays fixed.
