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.

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!
This has been going on for a week now. I use TeslaUnread and I'm getting badge notifications for my messages and missed calls but it stopped putting badges on my Gmail. The settings look correct and the Gmail is set on on TeslaUnread. Any ideas?

Happened to me also tried a lot of things, finally switched launcher
Anyone have any solutions? Are any of you guys still getting unread counts for gmail using nova?
All of a sudden, the notification light is flashing a bluey-green colour. It's not emails, Facebook, LinkedIn or anything else I can think of. Any thoughts?
Check all your apps for notification preferences.

I would check gmail for promotions/social notifications. They did that on my note 2.
Well, it's stopped flashing now but I checked Gmail and there were two new Google+ messages so that may be it. I never use the Gmail app and I can't stand the idea of Google+ so I guess that one got by me.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I have notifications selected to notify me when I get comments, tags, etc but never get a notification ring or icon in the status bar. Currently running stock cm11s, rooted. I've tried changing app settings, account settings, clearing data, uninstall, reinstall, different roms, but nothing works. It's just a mild annoyance but something I'd like to fix if possible
I'm using Facebook Lite and get all of my notifications. I don't recall missing them on the normal Facebook app, either, though.

I noticed the badge notifications on this phone doesn't work very consistently. I am using the default launcher so it shouldn't be a launcher issue. Anyone facing the same issue?
