I am looking for an email app that allows me to set a time frame to receive and block notifications. It is annoying to get notifications on my phone and on outlook while I am at work. In the default email app I can shut off notification manually but it would be hella awesome if I could schedule it to do so during office hours. Any ideas?
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!
How do I get reminder notifications on my phone for events that were created through Google Calendar in the browser. The only reminder options in the web app are email and pop up and the reminder options in the Android app are notification and email. I thought setting up pop up reminders in the browser would translate into notification reminders in Android but that doesn't seem to be the case. For the most part I manage my calendars in browser on my pc and just want to get the notification reminders on my phone. Is this possible? I have Calendar set to auto sync in Android and all my calendars are set to sync as well.
On my PC, I just added a test event for 10 minutes ahead with the notification set for 5 minutes. Then I checked that it showed on the phone. On the phone, the notification fired off on time.
Calendar notifications don't work in ICS

I'm dredging up this old thread because ever since my Nexus S was upgraded to ICS the notifications have completely stopped working! It used to work perfectly before the upgrade, but now, no matter how I set them... on my desktop or on the phone... there is no alert, pop-up, or notification of any event on my Google Calendar.
This is a major issue for me as I depend on these alerts. Has anyone else had this issue since ICS? Any ideas how to get it working?? I've tried adjusting all the Settings for notifications, etc.
I'm looking for a way to turn off notifications for a single email account auotmatically.
There is a toggle, I have Tasker, but not sure if this is even possible.
basically on a given event, i want the notifications for that email to be silenced.
Any help would be appreciated.
Probably not the first to ask this - anyone know why I get multiple notifications? Sometimes I get 3-4 notifications for one text or appointment. When I look at my phone there's only one thing showing so its just the notification. Curious...
depend if the app on your phone (re)send notification regularly ? some app like tasker send for example "no active profil" every few minutes but you just see ONE notification on the phone.

Thanks. I only use stock apps for text, email, and calendar. The dupes are usually for text and I can get up to three sometimes.
