How can I tell which application is actually creating notifications from facebook?
In the official facebook app's settings, I've turned off notifications, but I still get them. I also have bloo, and a few other facebook apps installed, but as far as I can tell, none of them are running when I get the notifications.
As they come in fairly often, it can get annoying with the constant buzzing and/or bleeping.
(On a related note: going to the item in the menubar dropdown takes me to the official app, to the notifications page... Which I then close. And then, without any actual new notifications coming in, it alerts me again shortly thereafter. Annoying. Halp!)
Anyone help ????
I have set my Hero Email app so that when I get and email, it informs me, and I can open, and read it, This is when I set the pop and smtp settings. But I also get another notification icon, which only lets me read the email, not reply to it, so I get two notifications.....
I only want the one from the email app, pop account, how do I cancel the other notification ????
Thanks all
Ian
That's a notification from the Gmail app.
It seems to me that either you're picking up your Gmail via POP in the Email app, or you use something other than Gmail for your email, but have set up a Gmail account which is also picking up your email via POP.
In either case, if you want to switch of notifications from Gmail, go into the Gmail app and then "Menu"->"Settings" and untick "Email Notifications" which will switch of the Gmail notification.

Thanks Dave,, thats just what I was hoping someone would say....

Hey Ian, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but my question is applicable here.
I am using the Gmail notification widget from the Market. When I get an email, the widget reflects the number of unread items. So, I no longer have a need for the notification in the taskbar. Problem is, there seems to be no way to disable the taskbar notification without disabling the sound and vibrate as well! (where is my "banging head against the wall" smilie?)
Anyone know how to resolve this. Handcent is the same way. Disable the taskbar notification and you lose your sound notification as well.
Think I've found a bug with the Gnote.
I have 2 email accounts on my Gnote and have set different notification tones for each of them. I have downloaded the Zedge App and set another notification tone for my text messages......
Now, if I receive an email in my google mail account, I get a notification sound to let me know, followed seconds later by a notification to tell me I have a new text message!!!! I even get the "M" symbol appear in the notification bar at the top of the Gnote screen. Needless to say, I do not have any new text messages when this happens!!
I have tried all sorts to stop this by resetting notifications etc and starting again but I can replicate the problem by cleaning out my google mail account and sending myself another mail. The first new mail into the google mail account triggers the effect. I thought I had stopped the problem by turning off all email notifications but this was a false positive. Later in the evening I got a new text message notification, only to find out it was actually a new email in my google ail account again.
This is driving me bonkers as I am expecting an important text message at the mo.
Am I missing something in the settings, or is this a genuine fault?
Hello.
Using P9 android 7 stock rooted.
Facebook app don't show me notification, when some has a birthday.
I make this mark
If I open facebook via browser, on the right side it show's when some have a birthday.
Few weeks, may be more, facebook apps shows birthday notification,
when I select on the top right corner bell icon
In current scenario I have to open facebook app and every time manual checking - events - birthdays.
In facebook app - Notification settings I select this one
Allow notification on facebook - on
Push - on
email, sms - no
All other notification are turned off, but I receive on my phone push notifications, about different things, which I don't want.
For example, some reply my comment, someone have interested about Event near to me and other, but no birthdays.
I don't won't any notifications from facebook app, just want when I open the app to have facebook notification for someone birthday.
If this cannot happen - android push notification will be fine.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in Advance !
I'm going to be specific as I see so many answers that circle my problem, yet don't quite nail a solution for me.
DEETS:
Samsung 21S Ultra

All the Icon's that pop up in the Notifications Bar for Email, Gmail, Text, WhatsApp, Instagratis and others work just as they're supposed to .... EXCEPT Calendar.
I get the Email/Gmail that a Calendar event has arrived, but nothing on the Notification Bar.
I go into Settings ---> Calendar ---> and see the options for: Show Notifications and it's turned to the "On" position along with: General Notifications/Ringtone Notifications/Other Notifications/App icon badges ... HOWEVER ... the "Show Notifications line is highlighted in Blue as if it's going to be "Copied", and although the switch is turned to "On", it's still in Gray-Scale and not in color.
In addition, the Ringtone Notification line is marked as "On" ... but it's also in Gray Scale and not in Color.
Why is this happening?
What can I do to fix this issue?
Please help!

Which calendar app are you using? The Samsung and Google apps have the same name, Calendar.
Can you clarify your particular issue - is the problem that you aren't receiving a particular type of notification? Is the problem that you cannot configure the notification settings? Is it both of these issues?
The description includes mention of receiving a calendar event, but it's phrased in a way that suggests a problem there. However, my understanding is that's the intended behavior. You don't get a calendar notification when you receive an email containing the calendar appointment. That email just causes the event to be added to your calendar, so there is no reason to be notified of that. Rather, you can add notifications to the event itself, and those will trigger when the scheduled time arrives. Is that the entirety of your issue?

Hi KingFatty,
Using the Google Calendar App.
It's seems you understood the problem correctly: I would get an email, but no Calendar Notification in the Notification Bar at the top of the screen. But I don't understand why you think I shouldn't get both. My email has always been separate from my Notification Bar and the rational is obvious ... one is an email to which can be accessed from anywhere and anyone who has access to my emails (secretary/assistant/etc) ... and the other is my phone which no one but me has access to ... so, this way if the email is opened, the notification that an email has arrived and is unopened disappears (see reasons above), yet if the Notification of a Calendar Event was displayed in my Notification Bar, I would still be notified there is an event in my Calendar.
This may not seem that important to you, but for the last 14 years, this is a system that has been working flawlessly and efficiently for my staff and I to sync perfectly and harmoniously.
UPDATE:
I have found a way to get the Calendar Notification to work as is has before I upgraded (not an upgrade as far as I'm concerned, Samsung has **** the bed with this "Ultra") ... and that is to dumb-down the notifications to it's lowest level and change two settings.
As I acclimate myself back to Samsung from LG ... I am getting the gist there is a language conversion/translation issue at play here, more than the things the phone is/isn't doing and/or can't be easily remedied.
If it wasn't for YouTube, this would still be an issue.
Thank you for attempting to offer help KingFatty. It is appreciated.

Gregory
It's still uncertain to me - can you clarify what is the calendar notification you want to receive (e.g., in the notification bar at top of screen)?
I offered some speculation to try to illustrate the ambiguity.
But at this point, it sounds like you want to receive a calendar notification to let you know that your calendar has been modified?
Like, if I sent you a calendar meeting today, scheduling us to meet next week, you would want to get a calendar notification today, upon receiving the meeting? You will get whatever Calendar notifications I've set up in the meeting, which usually I like to set two: 1 hour in advance, and 15 minutes in advance. For some appointments I set three: 1 day in advance, 1 hour in advance, 15 minutes in advance. Those types of calendar notifications would come through, but it would happen next week, when we are supposed to meet. Calendar would trigger and send you those notifications.
But think about *how* did I send you that calendar meeting? How did you receive it? For the answer, it's sent and received via email. Google takes it upon itself to automatically add that calendar meeting to your calendar, upon gmail receiving the email without you even opening the email itself.
So that's the crux as far as I can see it: are you desiring that your calendar generates a notification when Google takes it upon itself to add the meeting to your calendar?

Thanks for your concern.
It doesn't matter whether the notification was about a meeting you're scheduling through an email link, my staff added something to my calendar, or there was something already on the calendar ... I was having an issue with getting a Calendar Notification Icon in my Status Bar.
As stated, I've found a solution, so I'm going to bail out of this volley.
Please see the other discussion in this thread - there is an issue with Google Calendar notifications being missed. The cause is unknown, it seems sporadic.
This problem is back again!
Calendar Notifications are an essential part of most people's day ... and Samsung can't get it right?????
I am hating this phone more and more every day!
Video Call Effects doesn't give me options other S21 Ultra's have ... and several other Samsung Apps are either faulty or incomplete. The new update hasn't done anything to help these issues either.
It's as if they (Samsung/Verizon) want you to go to Apple! LOLOL
