Thanks for answering and if this is a big problem being encountered by many users, why is it not being discussed?
Let me try this MacroDroid app. & hopefully it works satisfactorily.

Thanks for replying. I have been able to get the above and implement it, but i am facing 2 issues -
1) I get the same sound notifications for all my Gmail accounts, i just see my primary account for auto syncing . How to correct this.
2) In speak text, i have written Gmail. Macrodriod repeats/speaks "Gmail" twice or more times.
Please advise. Again, thanks for your help.

Finally switched to Blue mail and everything is almost perfect now, though as per what i read, my information may be compromised.
I am getting instant mails and notifications now, much better than my notifications of gmail on this & other mobile.
Just been having this same issue for months on my Canadian Note 8 and it's been since the June 1 security patch update. Gmail is delayed (seen upwards of a bit more than an hour), Samsung's default Messages app sometimes is delayed as well (but if I have my Gear S3 on the text will come through on that but not my phone which is weird AF) and then a couple authenticator apps that send push notifications also don't come through or are very delayed. It's starting to piss me off and got no help thus far from Samsung. If this isn't fixed soon then it's my last Samsung device I will ever buy.
Forgot to mention, also tried factory reset and still not working (along with now the Messages app is stuck on an older version and won't update so now I can't even use custom notification sounds per thread anymore). Absolutely ridiculous! I know I can sideload the updated version but I shouldn't have to do that, so frustrating!

Everything sorted out and gmail notifications now come in a jiffy .

I am using the built in email app to connect to my Exchange server and I have my phone with me at work like most people.
What I experience is a message will come in to my mailbox, instantly I get the notification in both Outlook and the N1. I will read the message in Outlook, decide to keep it (mark it as unread)/delete it (move it to deleted items) and the N1 will keep notifying me via Trackball glow that I have an unread message even though I've read it.
If I read or delete a message on the N1 it is always pushed back to the Exchange server (and consequently Outlook) immediately.
Anyone else experience this? It is okay when I am not near Outlook, but when I'm in the office it is very annoying to be alerted about messages that I've already read or deleted.
This type of behavior is not happening on my iPhone 3GS when I had it connected and this type of behavior does not happen for my GMail account on the N1.
I actually believe the update to a message from read to unread may actually get pushed to the device they just don't clear the notification. I can confirm this by going in to the mail app and I noticed all the changes I've made are up to date.
The issue seems to be that the notifications won't auto-clear on the N1 once the changes have already been pushed to the phone. This really sucks
Can anyone confirm my findings? Thanks
I can also confirm this. The notification has to be cleared manually. Once the notification is there it's there until you acknowledge it.
Froyo, Desire, they all do that. Notification doesn't clear automatically apparently. Would be nice if it did. Once a check of unread/read is done, just clear the alerts once open/moved etc..

Google Mail notifications will clear automatically so it is definitely something they left out inadvertently. I hope they can fix it soon.
I switched back to my iPhone for the time being because of this. Does anyone know if there have been any attempts to fix this issue in 2.3?
Thanks.
Hello.
I was having trouble with the facebook notifications not working in 1.5.2.
I tried to uninstall/install the app
Clear cache
Installed 1.5.0
Re-flash ROM
etc etc etc...
And nothing worked.
I logged with a friends Facebook account in my Captivate and Push notifications were working !!
I re-logged to with my account and notifications still not working, so WTF?
So I started to mess around with the Facebook settings, privacy etc, and nothing helped to receive push notifications...
Until I deactivated my account and re-activated, and now I have notifications back! Is like a hidden setting in facebook that tells if push notifications are enable/disable, and after re-activating my account in some way is restores it, no idea but is working now...
If you have this problem, give it a try!
To deactivate: Account->Account Settings->Deactivate Account
To Activate: just log in.
Best Regards
Trying it now ... I've tried everything else... hope this works ...
EDIT: HOLY MONKEYS BATMAN IT WORKED! I'VE HAD MY DINC FOR 7 MONTHS NOW, WITH PROBABLY 12 DIFFERENT ROMS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER EVER WORKED! Thankyou!
Details:
I just flashed the newest version of Magnolia with Clockwork 3.x. Clean slate wipe (other than sd).
I deleted the old version of fb that came with the rom (just from the app list in settings), cleared all data from that....DID NOT set up facebook for HTC Sense when doing original setup of phone right after reflash.....
Logged onto FB from my pc, deactivated, waited until I got the email, then logged in again.
DL latest FB from the market and set it up, asked someone to comment on a status, and voila, fb started notifying me EVERY TIME someone did, not just every 30 mins like the settings show...
YAYAYAYAY!! I'm so happy now! I'm gonna pass the word along.
Thank you!
Did it work for you?
Yes - see above edited post!

My notifications are popping up in real-time. The only thing that goes once hourly is messages or friend requests, as far as I can tell. I'm watching my facebook on my computer and my phone alerts me nearly at the same moment my pc does.
umm... ??
deactivate my facebook account? message posted day before april fools day...
something doesnt add up
You can do that without deleting your profile. I hear of people deactivating it everytime they log off for privacy concerns. When deactivated you dont show up on any of your friends pages or searches. Just log on to reactivate, you'll get an email welcoming you back.
you dont loose anything?
Nope. Not that I know of. Check out cnn story. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-12/...ngs-new-facebook-facebook-accounts?_s=PM:TECH

I am not geting any notifications at all.
Can you help me?

Is there a modified app I could try?
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......
Yesterday I set up my new Moto G5S Plus, and much to my dismay I am not getting any email notifications.
I have three email accounts: Gmail, Comcast and Yahoo. Unlike my previous phones, I had to set up all the accounts through Gmail.
This is my fourth smartphone, so it's not like I don't know what I am doing. I have gone through every menu and enabled every notification. I noticed that the quickest time to synch email is every 15 minutes, so I installed PNF No-root, which allowed me to shorten the time to every 5 minutes. This app worked very well on a previous phone. But it didn't help on my Moto G5S Plus.
If anyone who has this phone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
Can you be more specific? Are you not getting any new email, not getting any notification that you have a new email, or not getting the notification sound when you get a new email? You can also try another email client, like K9 mail, and see if that makes a difference.

I have done several tests, emailing to and from my computer to my three email accounts. I don't get any sound or visual notifications on my Moto G5S Plus. However, I do get sound and visual notifications within minutes on my Honor 5X phone.
The email does eventually show up in the email app on my Moto, but I have to swipe down (refresh) on the screen for them to appear.
I don't want to switch to a different email client since my phone should work the way it is set up. The fact that I was the first person to post this problem with the Moto G5S Plus leads me to believe that everybody else's phones are working properly.
Note: I have also accessed the hidden System UI Tuner, and set the Power notification controls to Level 5 for my emails, but that hasn't helped either.
It usually happens when the phone is in 'Power Saving' mode. Other than that, I faced this when I added my Outlook email in the Gmail client (or as exchange account - don't exactly remember).
You may also check the 'Sync' settings. Maybe you've unchecked Emails there.
It should work just fine, though. If you don't have much data (or don't have problem backing it up) and/or don't want to mess much, do a factory reset and add the account.

Well, that's why I asked what your specific problem was. I'd say you're not getting the push notifications in a timely manner. And I've had that problem before. When I checked my phone in the morning, it would show no new emails, but if I refreshed a sync, several would show up that should have been received over night. I'm not sure I changed anything but I don't seem to be having the trouble any more. But I've played around with the phone more since I've gotten it and might have tripped over a setting that fixed it unknowingly. Is your Battery saver mode turned on? And again, I'd install K9 mail and load one email service you have into it. You can run more than one email program at a time. Then send an email and see if either mail programs receive it. Then you can uninstall K9. But at least you'd know if it was the email program or something else.

Thanks! I will certainly check it out. I just got off a chat with Moto support, and they had me go into Safe Mode and clear my cache, but that didn't solve the problem. Although I knew it wouldn't.

You were right! I turned off the Power Saving mode and immediately got email notifications -- both sound and visual. Thank you very much! I'm surprised that Motorola support couldn't have told me this.
Power Saving Mode main intention is so you can save some juice to pass the day or give you more time until you can charge it again when your battery reached threshold like 5% or 15%.
It's pointless to turn it on 24/7 unless you're on survival situation where email and such aren't as high priority as battery charge. It's more advisable to use the 'turn on automatically' option.

My pleasure
Those people rarely provide satisfactory answers, if at all! The kind of service they offer questions the very significance of having such a department because they only irritate the customers with the template answers - reboot, safe mode, clear cache and reset. I'll be surprised if they ever provide any other answer for any problem.
In a nutshell, contacting them is as worthy as putting axe on one's own feet, especially when it's a 'Lenovo' brand.
At least for the mobiles and related issues, we have this awesome XDA community.
Hi, I have an issue with GMail Notification in my Poco M3 Pro... hope someone can help pls...
GMail Notifications are visible on lock screen and notification shade, but it does not play sound for each incoming email.
I have turned off adaptive notifications
In GMail App, I have set notifications to All and Inbox Notifications to Notify for every message
However, I hear email notification sound at times for some messages but not for all incoming emails
Am I doing anything wrong?
Hi, I have the same issue. Don't know how to solve it...

I found out an alternative way for now... Go to app manager and uninstall all updates to the GMail app... After uninstalling updates the GMail notifications work absolutely fine... However, you cannot update the GMail app after uninstalling updates...
Understand your trick, thanks.
But I don't want to downgrade GMail app...
I think it's a bug in GMail (version) or in the ROM (notifications), I don't know.
I will wait
thanks again y5krahul.

Welcome! I also guess it's an issue with Gmail app... Hence I have raised this issue few days back in Google community.
Below is the link to my post in Google community
Sound notifications not playing for all incoming emails - Gmail Community
Upvote on your link done.
Same issue with an other app : Medisafe
Medisafe Pill & Med Reminder - Apps on Google Play
Stay on track with your medicine & pills! Never forget another med or pill!
play.google.com
In the settings, resolve problems, I can try the step 2 : verify notification sound is enabled
click on the button :
" instruction not found "
so no sound for notifications with this app too...
If I remember, we have possibility to set limit of voice notification per hour or day or minute ?
If not all notifications work, maybe this is it?
Gmail play sounds on notifications for me now... Don't know if it's an update or something else.
Other apps still have problems.
