Email Notification Icon stays after viewing email - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

I recently got this phone and loving it so far. The one problem I'm having is with my email notifications. After viewing the email, the unread email notification icon remains in the status bar. Only way to get rid of it is to manually swipe it away. Even if I tap on the icon and it takes me to the email, the notification icon remains in the status bar. I have tested and this is happening for me with the Gmail and Cloud Magic email apps. Anyone else experience this? Or better yet, anyone have a solution? Thanks..

Assume I'm the only one that has experienced this issue..

Turns out the app Lightflow was causing the problem. I have uninstalled Lightflow and problem gone.

notification light with handcent

so i'm a hancent fan... i like the lockscreen pop up messages for new incoming text messages. i usually reply from them as well.
when doing that on the inc4g i've noticed the notification led continues to blink at me like i have an unread message. i'm assuming i can turn off the led notification completely in handcent (i do not want to do that)... or wait for the handcent devs to fix this?
I use handcent as well. I do not have that issue. Did you turn off all notifications in the stock app? Uncheck them before unchecking notifications

I don't think it's a Handcent issue. I use GoSMS and I'm seeing the same issue, although it seems to be sporadic.
All notifications from the stock messaging app are turned off.

I've notified it doing it sometimes with Chomp too. Pulling the notification bar down turns off the LED for me.
yes, opening the notification bar clears it - which defeats the time savings of replying from the popup on the lock screen
i also have turned off the stock notifications.
thanks - at least it's nice to see i'm not the only one with this issue...
speaking of notification bar - on my old inc i always hit the menu button, then notification instead of dragging the bar down from the top of the screen. does anyone know of a way to make a shortcut or something on the inc4g? only way i can find to open the notification bar is to actually drag it from the top of the screen.... is there any other way?
It's included in Viper Rom, but you'll need root to change that.

[Q] Air Gesture screen question

When my phone is lock and I put my hand over the sensor the screen comes up showing me the preview. It will show text notification icon, gmail icon and work email icon, but there is a Missed call notification, then next to that is an EMAIL notification. I have a work and personal email accounts set up on this, but the email icon next to the missed calls always shows zero even if I have unread mail in both accounts. Does anybody know how to set the email notification on that screen to actually show the number of emails?
Nobody has any answers for this issue?

Problem with lockscreen notifications

This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher

Notification Issues

Can't get notifications from Facebook, Words With Friends, Facebook Messenger and other apps. No badge notifications or alerts. And I get Facebook Messenger notifications at the top of the screen with every text sent or recorded WHILE USING FACEBOOK MESSENGER! Anyone else having notification issues?
I texted with Samsung tech support (big mistake!) and they said that it was a hardware issue and to return the S9+ to Verizon for replacement. This makes no sense to me. Sounds like a software issue. Thoughts?
what launcher are you using?
if stock Samsung launcher, pinch in on the screen and go to settings... you'll find that notification badges have to be turned on there separately for some annoying reason
if any other launcher, make sure you've given it notification access under accessability so the launcher can read notifications and give you the correct 'badge' for the icon
I heard that for some, the battery optimization might be running too aggressively. Try going into battery usage, settings (3 dots), then battery optimization, then select to show all apps, then try unselecting the apps your having problems with. Give it a run for a few days to see if that helps.
I am using Samsung's launcher. Spent 2 hours on the phone with them. Tried everything. Nothing works. May have to do a factory reset
It's software issues. I got the same problem.

Tried your suggestion. So far, no dice.
Yeah I am looking toward a factory reset too. Notification issue but different. no Edge Lighting alerts.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Edge Lighting Notifications to work. After a week with this phone I am yet to see one. Samsung Experience Home. Notifications on for everything. No apps have Optimise battery usage. All I get is a notification tone, an icon on the AOD and a status bar icon. But for me Edge Lighting Notifications are totally MIA!
So I eventually got some Edge Lighting alerts to work. Primarily by going into each and every app that I awn the alerts from and setting "Do not disturb custom exception" to On within it Notification area. PITA to have to do this in each app when it should be settable from the system notification area one would think. Now have it working for Whatsapp, Skype and Samsung Messaging.
But for love or money I cannot get it to work for GMail. Anyone else got Edge Lighting alerts working with GMAIL. Setting "Do not disturb custom exception" does not do it.

[Q] Gmail Syncing - Disable Notification?

A few times a day, a Gmail notification appears in the notification area (top of screen) and also as a button on on the icon for the Gmail app. When I expand the notification, all it is for is that Gmail is Syncing. The notification automatically disappears when finished syncing. Is there a way to disable that particular syncing notification? It makes me think that I have a new email, and only way to tell is by viewing the notification, or waiting to see if it disappears.
I think this started happening ever since I added a second account.
I am on updated, stock, un-rooted Android.
Thank you,
