I've noticed this a few times and haven't figured out a way to stop it - when I get a new email, a musical notification will begin playing and does NOT stop until I unlock the phone and dismiss the notification or open gmail.
I've already tried changing the notification sound within the gmail settings to "Silent" but that doesn't seem to fix. Never had this issue on my GS3 so I'm assuming it's a Motorola thing.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Not sure how to explain it. I'm 95% sure it's related to getting gmail notifications, but I guess it could be a different app (I generally leave my phone on vibrate so it's only happened a few times when my notification sounds are on). It's a musical melody that doesn't seem to end, not a short notification like everything else is.

Hi there,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone. So far so good, I really like it. There are a couple of things that are bugging me however. One is that I am missing notifications for new emails. Other app are pushing notifications, however, my email accounts (exchange and IMAP) don't. Is this possible?
Regards
Michael
Under Settings / Ringtones & Sounds you can select the Notification sound for incoming E-Mails. If it is set to none you don't get notified. There are no Toast-Notifications for e-mails though.
Too bad... it was the toast notifications I was looking for. A bit annoying if you have the phone sitting on your desk at work, muted and nothing happens when you get a new email.
Thanks for your answer.

it should vibrate then. That's what my phone does when it's muted.

I disabled vibration because it is annoying for my colleagues as I get a lot of emails.
What is needed is the ability to add custom tones to incoming emails and SMS already, I don't know what the hold up is at Microsoft. The thing is that the default tones that it has all sound the same and are so low that if your to far away you won't hear them.

Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

i think that android apps are not AS GOOD AS IPHONE's.......
its more apps developers problem than HTCONE......
i think you gotta sell this one and buy iphone 17S....
PS. sorry i just had to write that......
The extra beeping is like a door opening sound at a corner store, two quadruple beeps of the same tone played at the same time as the tone I set. I can remove the one I set but not the beeps (unless i silence). It was working fine until I installed some work software to receive work e-mails securely. Can't see how that would mess things up, but even so I should be able to change the beeping tone somehow. I have gone through the settings in the message app (3 dot), notification tone option removes my tone not the beeps same as through settings the normal way. Thanks for the help.
I just got my phone, and I'm having the same issue...
I get the sms notification sound I had set, and I get the additional beeping (to me it sounds like a fire alarm).
I've tried other sms apps (Textra ans Signal) and it's the same issue with them as well.
Have you or anyone else a solution to this?
For anyone having the same issue, I fixed it with a factory reset, and I didn't import any old settings. When I first set up my phone I imported stuff from my google cloud sync, and that might have caused the issue. When I imported my previous settings, it also installed all my old apps, so one of those apps could have caused the issue as well. If I find the culprit of this bug, I will post a followup here for anyone who also might experience it.
i got my p20 pro yesterday and have it update but dont have this problem
I had this issue. I disabled private space and it was solved. It maybe had to do with the private space counterpart of the Messages app getting a duplicate notification for SMS. You could try disabling/silencing it if you don't want to disable private space completely. Hope this helps.
Went from a Note 8 to the Note 9, anyone else notice that some notifications are super disruptive and find the setting to resolve? Maybe I'm just missing something, but seems like notifications like facebook for example are awful.
Doesn't seem to matter if it's youtube, VLC, Poweramp, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. If I get a facebook notification, as it's the worst, it will pause my currently playing movie/music/video for a good 2-3 seconds and then resume playing. I didn't have this on the Note 8 and it's driving me nuts lol.
I figure it has to be a os setting issue (as all notifications do this) but I can't find a way to change it other than disabling all notifications all together.
I'm having the same issues. Was hoping this thread wasn't empty.
I was having the same problem. If you go into Settings > Notifications, you can manage notifications for each app. I don't remember for sure, but I think just about all of my apps' notifications were ON by default! I shut them all of, then re-enabled just the ones on wanted! Sometimes you individual apps will also have different settings for notifications, too. But at least going into settings allows you to just shut them all down for an app. Thank goodness! No more Facebook notifications! Just be careful what you shut off. I shut off messages by mistake. I wondered why I wasn't getting notified when I got a text.
I know there were a lot of threads about not being able to change the notification sound in different apps... but none was talking about FB.
(BTW email notifications work although finding where to change it was a pain in the ...)
It drive me bananas since I see that in the app the push notification sound is the 'Facebook' tune one but on every notification I get the default phone notification sound...
Anyone solved it?
