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!

Undeleted notifications

Hello,
I spent the last week from a Galaxy S4 under Cyanogenmod 12.1 to a Galaxy S6 with stock Android 5.1.1 ROM not rooted.
I have some "problems" with notifications, I came from Cyanogenmod so I do not know if that was a feature of this ROM or a bug / misconfiguration
from me on the S6.
Previously S4/Cyanogenmod for any notification (SMS, Gmail, Facebook, Snapchat, etc) if I was in the application in question without going through the
notification bar, once the applicaton open the notification disappeared from the bar. It worked even if I went through other way than my phone, example via my computer
notification is also suppressed from the bar
Now if I redo the same test whether via the applicaton or via other way than the phone notification remains present in the bar.
To clarify here are the steps to reproduce my case with Gmail notification:
Galaxy S4 / Cyanogenmod
- I unlocks the phone
- I open myself the Gmail application
- I open the email
- Notification disappears
Galaxy S6 / ROM stock
- I unlocks the phone
- I open myself the Gmail application
- I open the email
- Notification remains present (the same for SMS, Snapchat, etc.)
I did not think it would affect that but it is the only application relating to notifications I installed Light Manager Pro.
I also install the launcher Nova Launcher but logically it does not intervene in the notifications.
Hoping to find help here
Thank you !

Ya u have to swipe the notifications away and go into the app from the icon to clear the numbers on the icon ik it kinda bugs me to i also came from a s4

Hi xstokerx,
thank you for your quick answer I found the issue, it is Light Manager Pro.
This application have a configuration "Enable tips 5.1.1 : Apply fix for system notifications LED". If I enable this tip I have the notification issue but if I disable the tip I find the basic operation of Android.
A fix creating creating an issue unfortunately....
Thank you.

Messenger (SMS) notifications disappearing after 1 second

When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?

Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.

I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.

Apps notifications disappearing

Good evening at all,
I've already tried to do a forum search, but I did not find an answer.
I use Nova Launcher Pro.
I have a problem with notifications. Notifications work in whatsapps and sms, I see them on the top bar.
Instead, in other apps (calendar, inbox by gmail, netatmo security for example) are not seen. They appear quickly on the screen and then disappear.
Can someone help me?
I've already tried to modify the power saving options, but it does not change anything, even by changing the "special access" menu.
Thank you

Have you gone into Nova settings and down to Notification badges, tap that and down on the bottom you will see TeslaUnread and enable the apps you want to get notifications from?

Hello, thanks for the answer.
My problem is of not having notification icons in the status bar for applications (for example the notifications of Netatmo, the security camera app ).
I have notification icons only for messaging programs (like whatsapp, sms etc.). For other apps, I have the only notifications that appear on the screen and soon disappear.
Thanks

UP!
Please help me!
About phantom vibrations, today I was in front of my pc when I heard a vibration without notification on the phone and I noticed on the PC that I just had an email, so the ghost notification was due to the arrival of the email!

Im having the same issue, I get a vibration, and a quick flash of a notification.
So if my phone is in my pocket, by the time I get it out the notification will be gone.
Text message, whats app and gmail all seem to work
I dont get google voicemail notifications, group me notifications, let go notifications and a few others...help?

Duplicate/No Notifications

I have two annoying issues with notifications:
1. Any time I receive an email at Gmail or stock mail app it is displayed in the pull-down notification area twice. The same with downloading things, for example from Google Drive - I see two similar lines.
2. When I receive an SMS (service number or even my contact) there is no sound and no notification in the top bar.
I checked the settings - SMS is set to sound and display.
Latest stock Android 9.

The only time I had this happen was when I accidentally had two of the same accounts configured on my phone or in the gmail itself. or just delete the account on your phone and reconfigure,, or reset the phone.. Hth.
