Gmail led will not shutoff - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I have calls, voicemail, and text messaging led enabled in settings. I unchecked the email led notification option, which works for exchange and Yahoo mail, but Gmail blinks the led every time. Anyone else experiencing this?
I like the notification of a new message within Gmail in the notification area, just don't want the led.
Any help is appreciated.

Double notifications / mystery notification

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!

LED notification

Hello everyone,
has anyone had success using applications to customize the LED notification light with the stock ROM ?
The stock settings screen (Settings->LED settings) only allows to set notifications for SMS, missed calls and new emails with the email client (not gmail).
It works fine, at least for missed calls and SMS (the light turns on as expected).
I have tried a bunch of applications (Gmail notifier, blink, Lightflow, LED Tester) and could not get the notification LED to turn on with any of these apps.
Am I missing something ? Is the SK4G different than every other phone ?

It is different because there are actually 2 LEDs instead of one so that is probably what causes those apps to not work. I don't know how hard it would be to implement more LED options into a custom ROM but I have let AYOTEDDY know that would be a nice feature so hopefully we will see something in the future

[Q] How to turn off LED notification

I've gone to settings->display->LED indicator and unchecked 'Notifications', but I still get the blinking blue light every time I get an email (via gmail).
Anyone have any suggestions on what I'm missing or doing wrong? I don't want the notification light...
thanks...

Try an app that controls the LED notification like "light flow"
Try disabling notifications in gmail as well?

No LED Notification for Emails?

I get a blue led for sms.
No led for emails with kaiten mail. Then tried gmail and still nothing.
Will try stock next.
Double checked that it's not blocked in app notifications (it wouldn't be by default and I didn't touch it).
This is on regular Sound mode and Blocking mode is Off. The new Silent mode in LP still disables LED and Alarms as far as I can see.
Edit:
Turning on Gmail sync in Accounts and using the Gmail app gives blue led notifications.
Email used to be white on S5 with blue for sms and had settings I believe..
Now it's just on or off. No control.
Does everyone just use Gmail?
Surprised there hasn't been a thread about this.

Is there any solution to make it working?
I think you can see in settings-apps-gmail and notification, or direct in gmail app
