For a few weeks now I no longer see things from Google Now in the notifications pulldown. Was kind of a nice feature to see the weather and such in that without having to actually go into Google Now. Not sure if it was a Google Search update or Google Launcher update that took this away but I can't be the only person to notice that it is gone now from both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Any idea how to get it back?
Did you turn notifications off within Google Now?
+1 long press screen then settings notifications. Also check in settings apps Google now launcher check box for show notifications.

It only shows up a notification whenever the card updates.

Nope. They've always been on. Still nothing ever appears in the notification pulldown from it at all anymore.
No one else with any ideas?
I had the same issue since about 2 weeks ago, tried a few things, in the end I checked in "Manage Apps" and the receive notifications check box was unchecked... :/
Rechecked it, rebooted and all OK since then
:good:

Anyone know where to disable these notifications?
I would still like to see the cards in Google now.. But I don't want these notifications.. Never had them appear before...
Thanks guys!

I would also like to know this. I've had the card notifications disabled for months and just this past week they've been showing up. The option for notifications is still disabled in settings.
I don't want to have to block notifications from the whole app because that would block reminders too right?
This must have to do with an update from Google.
I'm experiencing this as well - seems like it just started a week ago when there was an update. It's extremely frustrating not to be able to disable the notifications of spam (stories, articles, recipes, totally random stuff) and leave things like reminders and whatnot. **sigh** Google why did you do this to me? I really do not need a notification that there is a Chipotle three miles away from me.

But seriously....These notifications are annoying .. can't find where to disable...

I'm also getting annoyed by these notifications. I guess we don't have a way to shut them off yet?
Go to...Google now> settings> now cards> show notifications! Turn it off, still will get cards in Google now.

Me too -- the first thing I did was check the notification settings for Google Now via Google Settings. I've even tried turning notifications on and then turning them back off. But they keep showing up. Maybe it's a bug and not an intentional feature.
Maybe it's buggy Google since they seemed to have messed up ok Google. I don't get any notifications with that setting off, tried on two phones.

Me three. Ugh!
Don't you hate when the functionality of something changes and they don't default it to the setup that you had before the change?
Surely, when this was released they should give you the option of enabling or staying with what you had?
Of course, that would be the professional way of doing things, sad that it doesn't exist at Google.
I had many android phones before and I never had this many issues getting basic things to work.
Most options are not where they are supposed to or not at all. Instead of spamming further threads I figured I will put them all in one place.
On my phone the swipe and none (lock) options are grayed out "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". Huh ? Also I added my smartwatch as trusted device and it still shows lock screen. Also smart lock settings are nowhere to be found.
No way to control music without unlocking (setting it in notification menu didn't work for me).
Standard quick settings menu is missing (even though in review videos it's there). The command center is terrible. It takes too many taps to access certain things.
Default email client doesn't work with office365.
I want to love this phone so bad, but it makes it so difficult.
Does anyone else have any other frustrations ?
OK, I figured how to disable lock screen. In security options I "cleared credentials" and those options appeared.
try swipe up from center bottom for quick settings
I am unable to install 'Evernote' from the play store. I get error code 504. I have tried everything to resolve the issue including vpn from another country without luck. Could anyone out there with a Blu Pure XL please try to install this app to see if they get the same error? Thanks.
Same boat. I even emailed Blu's support about the Evernote issue & the fact that this phone does not have quick charge even though it is advertised as such 2 days ago. Have yet to hear back from them. Gonna call tomorrow.
Thank you. @thomasanderson

Whats interesting about this is every review unit video on youtube prior to release shows the Pure XL with the same swipe down stock lollipop notification window & quick settings as the Nexus 6. I wonder why Blu changed this on the release units to the swipe up quick settings & two tier notification system(not complaining cause I prefer it, just curious), and if that was the reason for the 3 week holdup from the initial release date.
Look at the 3:28 mark on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkCfilwYIEc

You're absolutely welcome. Contacted Blu today. They told me that they would have to look into the quick charge issue and get back to me(yea right), and as far as the evernote app goes I would have to contact the developer. Interesting thing about that is that Evernote doesnt allow you to talk to them unless you are a premium subscriber. LOL! I was not aware of this. Looks like Ill be moving all my notes to Keep or Onenote for the time
being.
Found another annoyance. Led light is blinking green but there is no notifications on the phone and no way to get rid of it unless I disable the led completely. Also autobrightness doesn't work most of the time. On the verge of returning it.
OK restarting fixes the notification, but still...
BLU Pure XL
so far too many apps that work on my Nexus 5 running 5.1.1 but do not install or run on the BLU Pure XL running 5.1.
Out of Milk (sync does not work)
Evernote (504 install error)
I guess I will have to return the BLU. Super hardware, sloppy software it seems.

If you received a text or call, clearing the notifications from the notification bar is not enough. One have to go to the call and touch it to mark it as read. Kind of like an email, it does it for me.
I'm getting this weird issue where when I dismiss notifications from gmail, they will immediately come back and then dismiss themselves again one by one.
Easier to show than to explain, so here's a video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PnGCYlIdcX5ua4Ji2
It's really annoying, especially since the notifications are also sent to my gear S2 watch which then just buzzes like crazy as my phone is cycling through all the notifications.
I've used all the google-fu I know and came up with pretty much nothing, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure this out.
Potentially related: I get notifications for new e-mails pretty much as soon as they come in, but if I go to gmail on my computer and read or delete that e-mail, the notification won't update. It definitely used to, and I'm not really sure when that changed.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
I'm unable to play the video to see the notification . . . my internet is terrible right now. Perhaps you could just put up a single photo of the notification, or enter the text into your original post?
Check your setting for "Notification Reminders" under the Accessibility tab & find what you may have unknowingly switched on.
Happened to me once, I know how annoying it can be lol.
Hope this helps!
I get the same thing. Seems to be nothing to do to stop it however you may be able to reduce it to one notification in the gmail app settings just go to the app settings tap your email then about halfway down tap inbox, sound and vibrate and make sure notify for every msg is unchecked. Hope this helps.
I appreciate all the suggestions, unfortunately none of them seem to be the solution for me ...
JeffDC - A photo won't show anything, it will either show notifications there, or not, while the issue is when I dismiss a notification, it then comes back again after ~1 sec as another notification, then dismisses again after another couple of seconds, instead of properly dismissing the first time around.
og21 - Notification reminders were already off in accessibility settings.
wombat_combat - Notify for every message is already unchecked.
I get the same, haven't found a fix, but haven't looked hard either.
I suppose theirs still no solution? Been happening to me for months.
Same thing here. Haven't been able to find a solution. Galaxy S10 and only happens for my work email inside the secure folder.
Tagging this one again since it appeared on my google search.
On my previous Galaxy S8+ when I dismissed the notifications (notification shade) occasional a gmail notification (one just dismissed) would pop back up then immediately dismiss itself.
On my new S20 FE when I dismiss the notifications occasionally a gmail notification (one just dismissed) pops back up as if it was a new notification and stays there until dismissed again.
This happens when I clear it from the notifications and as soon as I swipe up the Gmail notification shows again. It's been happening for a while and I don't know how to tell them to fix it.
2021, this is still happening to me all the time. Gmail notifications come back to haunt me after clearing them. Sometimes they disappear after a few seconds, sometimes I have to dismiss them again.
Pixel 5.
I do have a suspicion it might be caused by Samsung Wear, maybe I'll remove notification access from it to see...
Update: ^ didn't work -.-
Same here. Stock Pixel 4a. Only one Google Account set up (which is a quite old Google Apps account).
Edit: The issue was also present on my former mobile, a Nokia 6.1, also running Stock firmware.
I'll bump this, too - same issue for months, Gmail notification pops (w/audio) immediately after I dismiss it. Have also tried all the "Google-fu" I know.
Pixel 4 XL - A11, stock and updated.
November 2021.
Still the same..
This is getting annoying AF.
Android should be better than IOS because it let the users control everything.
But what is with this crap.
I could not find any solution to let the notification notify ONLY when something new comes....
But I haven't tried hard either...
Anyone got any solution on this?
Go to your Gmail settings. General settings. Click on account. Scroll down to "nudges". Turn off. Repeat for each account.

Since the Oreo update I am not able to set a notification tone for messages... I have FDR'd 3 times now... It wasn't working right away... I have done resets with restoring data and NOT restoring any data..... Whether I change it in the messaging app or in the settings drawer it shows it changes but plays the default tone still.... Or sometimes plays nothing.... Any thoughts? I have cleared cache.... To be honest it seems to be doing kind of what it wants as far as tones for messaging.... I am trying to use factory installed tones and also downloaded MP3 tones... It plays the tone just fine as I am trying to select it but doesn't play when a message comes in............
I thought I had the same problem but finally figured it out.
Under the settings/notifications menu in the messaging app, change the tone in the New messages selection.
Edit: for the record, I hate the way notifications work in this new Oreo update. For example, if I have multiple messages that I haven't read, if I exit the app without having read some, the notification goes away entirely.
Plus, the badge notification isn't working on some apps unless I have it set for push notifications, which I don't want.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now... at least that I know of.

You are a life saver!!! I wonder why we can't change it in the Messages app anymore... Thats kind of a big flaw.... Thanks!!!!
Did you read my edit above? Any ideas?
In particular, two apps, Facebook and Words with Friends 2, I could set them (in Nougat) to not allow push notification but a badge would show up on the icon letting me know I had a new item in the app without it going to the top notification bar. I can't get it to do the same now.

In the notifications for those apps under General Notifications maybe try changing the Importance...??? I am not sure but will for sure look into it.....
My only other known issue at this point is even after 4 FDR's Game Launcher is disabled instantly....

I'll keep playing around with the notifications. Maybe I'll figure it out.
Honestly, I disabled game launcher. I don't even know what it's for. Maybe I'll play around with it to see. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I am not super worried.. It looks like it may be turned off by default until you enable it.... I am not that worried.... I am going to work on getting everything setup and play around and see if I can help you out.... I think I know what you are after.... You don't want to be alerted but still want the badge to show up...

I think this is correct for the most part. Here's what I'm running into now, though. On several apps, including one for work that I need notifications for, the badges aren't even working at all, even with all apps set for all push notifications. For me, the badges are more important on some of my apps than the notifications on the bar at the top.
I hate this. Why would they change something like this? This all worked fine in Nougat.
I purchased Nova launcher prime a while back. Looks like it's time to go try that one again.
I'm having the same trouble. I have Push notifications turned on, but Facebook, Words with Friends, and the native email app won't show badge notifications.
Email shows an old number in the badge when, right after rebooting, it shows the notifications.
I'm not enjoying this update.
Several years ago Gmail alerted me on my phone immediately when an email came in - these days it can take as much as 10 minutes using the Gmail app to alert me of a new mail because of power saving functions. Those minutes can end up costing me money - a lot of it!
BTW, it doesn't matter if I am on wifi or my carrier's network.
I've tried googling this but am finding nothing but old articles from years ago that no longer apply.
Does anyone know a definite 100% sure-fire way to get the immediate notifications back?

Have you turned off battery optimisation for gmail? Something i find works well is pinning the apk in the recently opened apk menu.
Also try going into battery, battery optimisation, advanced optimisation and making sure the sleep standby is off

I have the same Problem with my OnePlus 7 T Pro, I tried the same but without any result.
For whatever reason OnePlus decided to load Gmail as a System App. I was able to uninstall it, and reinstall it from the Play Store and it STILL installs as a system app...thus...no way to adjust battery optimization.
To lock it in memory you need to open the app, then act like you want to go back an app...you know drag it up to the middle of the screen where you can scroll left and right through recent apps. When Gmail is on the screen tap the three dots in the upper right and choose "lock". This is supposed to keep it in memory so that the OS doesn't remove it from RAM and "maybe" your notifications will come in as soon as a new email arrives. YMMV
There is a Magisk package that disabled any kind of optimization for Gmail. However, while it made Gmail display "Disabled" if I checked the app, now I cannot even see that setting anymore.
But yes even previous OxygenOS versions have suffered from the very same issue. People been asking for a fix for years. Only permanent fix is to reinstall Gmail as user app or use a custom rom.
Ps.: Look for "OxygenOS" within magisk to find the module. Back then you coulf also use an app like Nova to go into the Battery Optimization list, and disable the optimization. That also worked, needed no root. But it was reset after each reboot. So one time you forgot? Boom.
I bought my Oneplus 7t Pro yesterday and had this push problem with Gmail. But I also had problems with microsoft authenticator and Google Duo. Yesterday evening I did a full wipe (Hard Reset) and now gmail works properly and also the other apps.
