Notifications - Don't automatically clear... - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have a question about the clearing of notifications. I have the international version. I have noticed that when I get a notification, say a text message, or an email, when I click on it, it takes me to the application. I look at the message or email and go about my business.
The notification still shows in the shade as if I haven't looked at the message. I have to swipe it clear. I don't have this problem on my other phones. It's kind of a niggle with me right now. I enjoy everything else with phone. Anyone else having this issue? It happens with stock messaging, google messaging, sometimes with inbox, nine mail, mailwise mail, stock email app...

It sures is a bug, I don' have that.
Have you installed Good lock ?

no. If others aren't experiencing this, perhaps I should reset, and re-road my apps. Wonder if it has to do with LED-Blinker pro....it's an app I have installed that controls the LED notifications similar to light flow...that'll be the first app I remove...

and the culprit was LED-Blinker Pro...removed and issue is gone...

[Q] Email notifications disappear after froyo 2.2 update

Just installed froyo 2.2 on my captivate and now my email notifications disappear. This is occurring with both pop3 and imap mail. What I have noticed is that when I get a new email I get the notification and it ill remain until the next time it checks for new mail. Once it does that and there isn't any new mail the notification will disappear. Has anyone else experienced this and do you or anyone else have a solution?
I have the same problem: email notification disappears shortly after email received. Indeed, the notification sound stops playing half way through.
Did you ever resolve your issue, and if so, how?
Thanks.

Mine too does this, but not all the time. Weird. I have found no solution.

I have two yahoo accounts and I got the same problem on kb1. With the yahoo app though it doesn't happen and it uses push notification and just seems faster than the stock email app. The other email apps might do the same thing, its worth a shot.
I'm having the same problem since the 2.2 update. No solution found yet.

Same problem here. Only happens with the regular mail app configured to use an exchange account, and doesn't happen every time. Gmail app works fine.
I have the same problem.
I have my work exchange email configured through the email app. When an email arrives, the sound plays half way through and the notification goes away.
It's really annoying, because now I can't trust the notification bar. I have to actually open the email app to see if I have a new email.... Which completely defeats the purpose of the notification bar.

Stock Messaging app notifications dismissed automatically

Anyone else have this issue? When receiving an SMS message, I will get the pop up notification and sound, but then the notification will disappear as if it has been dismissed. The message will still be unread in the Messaging app, but there will be no notification either on the phone or on my Android Wear device. Strange.
Same here. Anybody find a fix? Driving me crazy
There's an option in settings to check notification access.. probably you can review the applications there or check the notification settings for messages app.. Maybe an alternate messages app is overriding it

I haven't found anything amiss in the notification settings.
My hangouts won't notify me like it used to (on Silent, but with LED), and I've been missing text messages/gmail as well. When I turn on the lockscreen voila! all the crap you've missed. I've flipped every setting known to man. Cleared my cache from recovery. In my frustration, it seems like the only thing left is to drop this brick out the window and get something that isn't messed up by the carrier every other firmware.
Nougat sucks for me. I had to download a samsung theme, to replace the crap they did with it. I am honestly surprised that there are so few people complaining.
Strange. I never have issues with Hangouts. It's only the Samsung Messages app that self-dismisses notifications. I've tried just using Google's Android Messages or whatever they are calling it these days and I actually like it better. Unfortunately, I frequently utilize WiFi Calling/SMS and Digits for a second line and the stock Samsung app is the only text messaging I've found app that does both. This T-Mobile integration is the same reason I switched back to Samsung from my Xperia XZ and why my next phone will probably be Samsung again unless theses features ever become usable on an unlocked phone.
Okay, slightly different problem, but weird and perplexing. Running U firmware on an AT&T A. Stock Email app on mobile data only will show a badge notification for new mail, but no notification sound or light flashing. On WIFI everything works as it should. On AT&T firmware it works fine as well either way. Hmm...

No notification vibrations for gmail?

As the title describes, although I am using a Pixel 2 rather than a samsung phone. Gmail notifications will not vibrate on the watch but will show notifications dots, etc. Other apps' notifications will vibrate properly, even the Google Inbox app. I figured this could be something widely discussed as most people use Gmail, but searching in the forums didn't really show a lot of results. I am wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem and is there a fix to it. Gmail notifications come through, but just won't vibrate the watch

I also found out that this is a android thing as well, I have an iphone laying around and will work just fine with the gear, vibrations and notifications.
Same here
I'm also getting this issue with Gmail only(email comes to watch but no vibration to let me know if phone isn't nearby), has anyone found a solution? For my text messages I found that enabling Textra, and the default Android messages made that now vibrate when I receive a notification. But I can't find any default Android mail on the app list?
Same problem here. S3 Frontier with a Pixel 2 XL. Knowing that Inbox (Outlook works as well) works helps, but I'd like to use Gmail since it gives the full email to my wrist.
EDIT:
Just noticed that Hangouts messages don't vibrate or make sounds either. Anyone else found other apps? I'm wondering if it's a Google thing, though Inbox working would argue against that...
EDIT AGAIN:
Hangouts message just vibrated. It's definitely consistent with Gmail, but now I'm wondering if there's some random element to this. Or if I'm just going crazy. lol
Hello. Same problem here with my Samsung Gear Sport and Oneplus 3T. It's driving me crazy. I haven't tested the Inbox app yet, but I installed Outlook as an alternative to Gmail (which I didn't uninstall). I received one vibration for one first mail via Outlook and then it stopped as well, no vibrations anymore for incoming mails. I have verified all my settings in the Gear app and in the Gmail, Outlook app. My phone is getting the notifications (sound, vibration, icon on top), but on the watch I only have a pop-up of the mail and the small dot on the watch face, but no vibrations. Vibrations work fine with the calendar and the step counter.
My Gear recently (I'm not sure for how long really) stopped giving ANY notifications at all. I've checked all the setting in both the Gear app and Oreo to no avail. It's not much of a Smartwatch if it won't do notifications at all. That's half the reason I bought it (HR monitoring is the other 50%).
I had the same problem with Gmail on my Sport 3. I also use TypeApp as my default email client on phone linked to Gmail. If you allow notifications for this app on the phone (in settings>notifications), then allow notifications in Gear you will get vibrations for all email received. Its not quite as fast at receiving email as the native Gmail client, but it does work. I don't have any other notification issues other than the Gmail one.
I use Inbox (by Google) to receive Gmail emails, instead of Gmail itself. The notifications work for me.

I also have the same problem using my Honor View 10 with my GS3.
When receiving GMAIL new email, the message shows directly on screen without making my watch ring or vibrate.
Using Inbox solves the issue but :
- messages are truncated : only few lines are displayed, there are less options.
- Inbox notifications on my phone (android 8.0) are different : it only shows an small icon on the upper notification bar whereas gmail shows a full popup with message and action buttons. So using Inbox is not good for me
If anyone has a full workaround, please get my thanks in advance.
I have been having this issue since I went on the beta Oreo on my S8. I thought it was an issue with that and I am hoping once the official Oreo comes my notification vibrations will return. After reading this I am now not so sure.
Definitely a problem within Oreo. No vibration on Gear for gmail for me and also not for Viber, though reverting to older Viber helped but I noticed differences in notification options between older and newer Viber. My guess is that Oreo tries to manage notifications differently for some apps that allow it to and this messes up the Gear notification somehow.
Same here. Was working fine with Note 8, switched to Pixel 2 XL and now I'm not getting vibrations for Gmail notifications. Everything else appears to be notifying correctly.
Similar issue for me
I have the original Pixel XL and everything has been working fine for 3 months. Then about 3-5 days ago I started not getting notification sounds or vibrations on my Gear s3 frontier for gmail or text messages. I have tried resetting both the phone and gear multiple times and starting over completely and it doesn't work. Pretty useless when those two are the most important to me.
Try uninstalling updates for the app. Worked for me with android messages for the exact same problem. It's the only thing that worked actually. Hope this helps!
Seems to be related to native Google apps running on Oreo devices. I noticed that my Google Assistant Reminders also don't vibrate on my watch but Google Hangouts is OK - so hit or miss. I use Textra for SMS so no issues with that.
Same here. Since I updated to Oreo gmail vibration stop working. Galaxy s8 + Frontier
Same thing here, I updated my S8 to oreo and gmail nots don't vibrate. I realized that from time to time incoming calls neither. Even some kind of reminders do the same. Before updating the phone everything was running ok...
I'm having issues with email notifications from the stock Sammy mail app not showing on my Gear....
It's not even listed in the Gear app.
Tried reinstalling the app and resetted the watch.
This issue appeared when I resetted my phone after flashing oreo.
Any suggestions?

Gear S update resolved Gmail notifications for me.

Weird gmail notifications returning after being dismissed issue.

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.

Notification tone for messages.... NOT INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS

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.
