Not getting Gmail notifications.

[gilly1234]

I'm having an issue with not getting Gmail notifications. I've set all permissions to allow notifications, turned off power saving modes and locked Gmail in the background.
But after all this, I still get no indication of a new email until I actually open Gmail.

Can anyone help?

It's only Gmail that I'm having this issue with, which is also confusing me.
Thanks.

Thats odd. My gmail is working fine with notifications. But gmail has a bunch of its own settings for notifications also. Did you make sure to enable them in the gmail app settings itself? Not where it takes you to the settings on the phone but within the app. I dont have to lock gmail in the backround for it to work either. Make sure that it is also taken off the app quick freeze list in battery settings. in the gmail settings on the phone settings itself after you allow notifications you also have to go into the email account listed there and allow notifications for that email account. Just enabling notifications for the gmail app itself wont notify you of emails.

Yeah, I've gone into the accounts listed and enabled notifications in there as well as the settings within the app itself.
If I go into settings>battery>custom power consumption Protection , Gmail isn't on the list of apps. I don't know why?
So I'm at a bit of a loss now why they aren't coming through as everything seems to be set up correctly.

Just out of interest, are you on the international version? I am so just checking we're on the same hardware/software combo.

In Battery>App quick freeze make sure gmail isnt toggled on.
In Battery>Smart Power Saver >Toggle Off
In Battery>Super High Power Efficiency> Toggle Off
In Gmail itself. Make sure you havent set emails to only notify you of priority inbox. I had that problem before as gmail will pop up from time to time to as you to turn on that setting. If you arent paying attention and just click ok like I did once it will drive you crazy.

Actually, No. Im on the Chinese ROM which is actually more restrictive. Ive actually gotten everything to work. Notifications, Backround processes, etc. The only problem I have is I cant get Location History in Google Maps to enable so Timeline doesnt work. And I cant seem to add my Visa cards in google wallet for some reason.

Went into Gmail and was set to high priority only, changed it to all mail and seems to have done the job. ?
Nice one, thanks for the help shadoe_lance.
