[Q] Managing Notifications - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4 with AOKP, but I think this applies to Android JB in general.
So, I spend quite a bit of time at my computer. Most of the time, I have my phone right next to it. So, when I get a new e-mail (Gmail), I get a notification on the phone, but I usually see it first on Gmail via webmail. The thing is, I wish once I mark that e-mail (or all new mail) as READ, the phone should stop flashing the notification LED.
Same thing goes for Google Talk (Chat). I chat with people I work with all day long. When I get new message, the phone notifies me, but the conversation is long over. So, since I replied on my PC, the notification should go away.
I know I could turn off notifications, but I like them. They're just not very intelligent.
Does anyone know of apps, ways, or tricks to tame these?

[Q]+[Poll] Android :: Repeat Notifications ::

Hi all,
There doesn't seem to be an option to switch off repeat notifications. Whenever I receive an email and I don't read it immediately, I'll get a repeat notification sound every 5 minutes or so until I acknowledge the email in some way.
I have looked to no avail, so am hoping that someone can point out where this option is. I have set up quiet time from 10PM - 7AM, but this isn't helping outside these quiet hours.
Hope you can help.
Thanks..
I think its a gmail bug. Except for me I get the messages report in winmo. Even if I delete them they come back. Fu!$&ng annoying. Even though I don't use winmo, I still see them if I have to do a restart or something
I've never bad this problem at all...

I'm using an app called Improved Email. Not syncing to Gmail, but internal mail app grabs corporate exchange, improved mail to another exchange server and also a hotmail account. Still don't see an option to disable the repeat notifications..
Are you having this problem with Gmail, or a different mail app? Because there are a few bugs ive noticed with the Gmail app like mattfmartin said. Sometimes I wont receive an email in WM but the moment i boot up into Android i start getting notifications from old & new emails.

Hi, I don't use gmail at all. I don't have a problem receiving email either, its just that when I do receive emails the notification sounds keep sounding every 5 minutes until I go into the mail application and read them which I don't often have time to do so the repeat notification sounds become quite annoying after 15 minutes or so, especially at work where they annoy other work colleagues as well.
my phone beeps one time, then the orange light stays on until i check it..
this must be build specific.. perhaps post in the build thread.
I dont use gmail either. And I get the notification repeats for everything. It's especially annoying for voicemail, and it doesnt matter if I have new voicemail or not, I check all the messages and then the notification comes back 5-10 minutes later, then I check again and there are no new messages... It's just annoying really though, not that big of a deal...

[Q] push does not push?

hi,
i have an htc HD2 with the android energy rom. but it seems that all programs have to "ask" activly to the servers if they have something, while i thought android could handle all push notifications? for example, whatsapp, at first it worked well, but now i'm not directly getting messages. when i open whatsapp i smetimes get messages that are send 30 minutes ago, while the whole idea of whatsapp is that it can be used instead of sms, hust having my phone standby in my pocket must be enough to get directly, not even 1 miunute later, the messages others send to me, just like sms does. the same problem i have with my gmail application, he only syncs when i open it, while it has to be like sms, directly push it from the server to my phone, if i ask for it or not, just what the word push say, but no, i open the application, and messages of the day before come in... :S does someone knows how to solf this, or is there a way to check if my provider hi(kpn, dutch) blocks things?

Notifications dissapearing after reading on another device

So I have SGS III and got myself thinking: I have my GMail set up to synch new mails consantly and, when found new, notify me and blink the LED. While the feature is great, I often read my mails on other devices as well. That's where the problem occurs: even if I read a mail on another device, the LED keeps blinking which is quite annoying as I know that most likely no new mails are there and I just have to make the senseless effort of unlocking mmy device and clearing the current notifications from the bar. I'd love if this could be done automatically so that when I read a mail elsewhere, my phone treats ot just like any other mail and clears the notifications linked to it. Can I do it somehow?
EDIT: Ekhm... You just have to wait a little bit longer and it disappears on its own

Battery Life Tweaking ... Gain 30% battery life and still be notified of new email.

Just would like to contribute to the nerds repository of information. Now that I've had my phone running for literally days without having to charge. I just wanted to share how I managed to do it, and I still am notified when new email is available..
In case if it hasnt been mentioned before, here's how it's done
1- Turn off syncing of google mail..
2 - Create an account on IFTTT.com
3 - Create an IFTTT rule to send your phone a Text Message with the Subject of the text message as the subject of the email when new email becomes available within GMAIL.

Something is clearly wrong if your having battery problems and you need to turn off sync. Are you on your phone every minute of the day? I'm sure there's alot more you can do besides turning off sync, but whatever floats your boat. My battery has been fine on my S4.
sounds like he is turning off wifi, and using this text system for email notifications instead of wifi connection

Pushbullet for notifications on your TrueSmart

Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.
