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,

Hi,
I just got my new galaxy s2 and synced it with gmail asap of course . I get a considerable amount of mail during the day. I'm getting crazy with my phone buzzing all the time (and it costs a lot of battery) is it possible to set it up in such a way that email only shows an email icon in the notifications bar without any sound or vibrations?
Thanks a lot
In the gmail app, go to settings and you can set what you want for the notification. You can turn off vibration, and set silent as the ringtone, and you can even set it to only notify you once, not for every email.
Thanks found it need to get used to that button being the settings button . Was looking all over the screen and couldn't find it
guys
I cannot find a setting to change this and it's getting very annoying. I have my corporate mail events & google calendar events and both pop up on my phone. This behavior is only with google events - when I get the event, I simply press the home button and it stays in my taskbar and doesn't bother. However, every 15-20 mins, there is a sound from the phone. Any setting to fix this? I simply want it to stay in taskbar without bothering me
Thank you!
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?
How do I turn off Gmail notifications on the watch with GNE?
I just want them to show up with the stock Gear Notifications.
Someone? Please?

In Notifications for Gear S (maybe it's not GNE, don't know), you can select what apps to have their notifications sent through Notifications.
For that :
1. start Notifications (on the phone)
2. press the "wrench" icon in the upper right corner to enter settings
3. Uncheck "Read Gmail Notifications"
If it's still showing notifications, you can use 2 other methods :
A. filter by notifications text
- in the settings use the "Do not read notifications containing ..." and add whatever text you know will always show up
B. selective notificationns
- in the settings activate the "Do you want to be asked for new...", this will make the app ask you for each new notification type. When the dialog shows up (when you get a notification from a new program) you can choose to send the notification or to ignore it
In case GNE and Notifications are not the same app, you should look into GNE's settings and see if it has similar ways to choose what notifications it sends.
But, then I won't see Gmail notifications at all, instead of only seeing them once, versus twice, which happens now with GNE.

If you only disable GNE to send the notifications and leave the standard Gear S notifications active for Gmail then you should get just one notification (the standard one).
If you instead want to get the notification just from Notifications Extended, well, i for one didn't manage to do that.
When i disable notifications for Gmail from the standard Gear S notifications then the Notifications Extended doesn't send the notifications either. I might have something configured incorrectly though, haven't played too much with the settings.
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.
