Ok guys. Sorry if I have simply stumbled over a setting or something but for the LIFE of me I cannot get the HTC Mail widget OR the Mail shortcut to notify me when I receive a NEW mail. The only notification I get is in the notification bar, but no "1 new email" in the widget (which btw IS logged into my gmail account)
I have been tweaking random settings and sending emails to myself but still the only way I can actually get to my NEW mail WITHOUT touching the notification bar up top is to go into the actual Gmail APP.
What's the point of the widget if it won't update on it's own and let me scroll through messages?
Is there a PUSH feature somewhere I can't find....I have looked everywhere and it's REALLY pissing me off.
Please don't flame...just got my hero rooted and ModAco 1.3 installed a few days ago....everything else works flawlessly. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Matt
Bump...please tell
Same problem here
I'm having the same problem, its not notifying me of new emails unless I actually open the widget.
Mine is connected to my works exchange server.
EDIT: Think I figured out my problem, when I would kill tasks with the task manager it was one of the selected tasks. I've added MAIL to the ignore list and we will see what happens from here.
Have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945298?
I have a Samsung Charge, and I have noticed that every time I receive a new GMail message, I get two notifications.
I started turning off various notification sources, but I still get an audible ring & phone vibration whenever a new GMail message arrives.
Where is the mystery / duplicate notification coming from?
Thanks,

Which notification sources have you turned off?
The GMail app has its own notification source. And, I *think*, you can set it per account (not sure).
There is also Sound setting Notifications, not sure if GMail leverages that or not.
Are you using any third-party email applications?

I have my GMail set for "Email Notifications" disabled. I would think that would be enough to prevent getting GMail notifications.
I also have ADW Notifier installed, but it doesn't really have anything about displaying notifications other than the number bubble. Regardless, I uninstalled ADW Notifier, and didn't see any difference.
I also have K-9 Mail. I turned off all notifications on that, and also saw no effect. K-9 doesn't even interface with my GMail, so I don't see where it would make a difference anyways.
I don't have any other apps that should be associated to my mail programs.
Bump.
I have found that I only get the "Notification That Can't Be Killed" now just with new GMail messages. No other "mystery" notifications are occurring.
To see if I could fix this, I started using the TouchWiz Email application to consolidate all my email accounts, including GMail. I got rid of my K-9 mail app.
Now, I get a silent GMail notification from the TouchWiz Email app (which is what I want), but it seems like I still get an audible default notification tone from Google's GMail application whenever new GMail arrives.
I can't figure out why the GMail app Notifications are occurring. I think I have them all disabled, but I must be missing something ...
Please help ...

I have found one solution to fix this problem, though it shouldn't be necessary:
I purchased "Bloat Freezer", and "froze" the Google Gmail system application.
I'm curious (though, I didn't see many responses to this thread), has anyone tried turning off their GMail notifications in the Google GMail app?
I am wondering if turning off GMail Notifications even works on the SamChg.
I'll try later this evening when I'm not at work.
I actually always run my phone in silent mode, I am kind of against ringtones, chimes, etc. and thus have never had any issues with Gmail notifications because I've never needed to really turn them off.
I'll report back.

Thanks, burningembers! I'll be interested in what you find out.
BTW, I don't know if this is important, but I am running the Debloated v.4 ROM.
Sent via my Borg implant over the VZW network.
I have another nugget of information on this problem.
I unfroze the GMail application, and set my SamChg to sync my GMail again. However, in the GMail application, I set a different notification tone than the default notification.
Now, when I receive a new GMail, I get 2 audible notifications: One for the newly selected notification tone in the GMail application, and a second tone that is my default notification tone. Sometimes, they will play simultaneously.
I'm guessing that undesired, second "default" notification tone is generated as a result of the Google "account sync" itself.
How can I turn this off? And, again - Can anyone test this out for me to see if it is a global problem, or just my configuration?
Thanks!
Using stock email app with hotmail email address I have this weird notification bug. When an email comes in I get the notification icon and then pull the dropdown and select the email to read it. As soon as I am done selecting it and while the email is opening I get a second notification of that same email.
Not sure if this happened on 4.4 but I have been noticing it ever since the first update but don't recall if it happpened prior to that.
And it only happens if the notification has been there for a little while before I select it, if I happen to be using the phone and an email comes it and I select it right away it does not double notify me.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Stock rooted 4.4.2
Hey all, this may be a stupid question but I figured I will ask regardless. I set up the default mail app for my Yahoo email and I get the red dot when a new email showed up. I go in and read the email, but when I back out, the red dot remains.
Same goes for the default SMS app, but that one isn't consistent. Sometimes the red dot goes away. Sometimes it stays.
I tried using the Yahoo email app, but it doesn't seem to actively look for new emails until I open the app (it actively looks in the background on my work's Galaxy S3).
Does anyone else have the same issue? I swapped out the SMS app for Textra (I tried Hangouts but had issues with multiple people and MMS messages).
having same problem with mine. I just ignore them.
Hi all .... my apologies if this has already been asked, but I cant for the life of me get the email unread notification badge to work on the stock email app (it's a yahoo email account though)
It updates & shows up only when I manually go into the app, however nothing shows up untill then
Just got the phone yesterday, and this seems to be the only issue I've got so far ....
Many thanks

This was happening to me too. The email settings allow for checking the server from 15 mins and up only to save power.
Go:
email (app)
more (bottom popup widget)
settings
(click your email acct)
change sync frequency to 15 mins) Mine defaulted to 'never'
I'd ideally like push notifications to work with the email app but it appears not to be the case.
Hope this helps
