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!
Hi,
I just got a pixel3a - on my old moto handsets, you could set what notifications would show on the ambient display - I liked to just have calls and text messages to quickly see if I had anything important coming though. Is this possible on Pixel? To clarify, the only notifications I want to see on ambient are calls and messages - thanks
I believe you will see whatever shows on your lock screen and the only option is either all notifications or none.

You can use Tasker to do this if you're willing to not have the ambient display on all the time. I've set mine up using Tasker so that the ambient display is off until I get a notification. Basically, what it does is turn on the ambient display when a notification is received and once you clear the notification it turns it back off. When you create the profile in Tasker you can choose the apps you want to be able to turn the display on so you don't have it turning on for notifications from apps you don't care about. I have mine set up so that only Messages, Facebook Messenger and Snapchat will turn on the always on display. If you're open to something like that, I can help you with setting up the profile and the tasks necessary.

Thanks for the response - Tasker sounds like the best bet, I've installed it along with Autotools. I've had a play around and get the idea, but would really appreciate any guidance, cheers !
Do you mind sharing your Tasker profile regarding this?
Thank you

Is there a 3rd party app perhaps that lets you add a custom Quick panel shortcut to disable/enable notifications from either a certain/multiple/all apps? Something like "Do not disturb" except it doesn't turn your phone into silent mode, it just turns off the text notification/s. Like if I receive an email, the Gmail icon would still show a +1 counter or even trigger the new email sound, but I wouldn't receive any notification at the top of my screen. Like if I'm showing my photo gallery to a friend, I don't want a random email or SMS or whatever from whomever to pop up and my friend sees it - it's none of their business. I know I can also go manually into Settings, Apps & turn Notifications off completely for specific apps, but I just want a quick 1 tap shortcut like I have for "Do not disturb" mode and also not disable them completely, but just the text notification at the top.
So I upgraded to OOS12, i did a factory wipe as well to start fresh. Noticed odd stuff, like I wasn't getting text message notifications, they were coming in but notifications were set only to show up in the status bar not notify me. Then weird stuff like my alarm didn't wake me up this morning- the clock app was set not to notify me at all!
I found the manage notifications, almost all apps were set to off. A few odd ones were on, Facebook was on, "My Files" was on...is there some reason why this is? I know there's a big push now to not have so many notifications on our phones...but it's very frustrating as I actually use my phone for work and productivity, and most of my notifications are important. I'd rather have them all on and turn off the ones that are annoying, but I don't see a setting?
I want to be able to easily turn on and off notifications for a specific app, using a widget on my home screen. I don't want to affect any other notifications. The purpose is to deactivate annoying motion alert notifications from my IP camera viewer app temporarily when I am home. And then reactivate when I am away when they notifications can be more relevant.
