[Q] S Tablet and notifications

[Prophet55]

[SOLVED]

for the last week or so, I no longer receive notifications for new GMail or updates from the Play Store or Amazon app store. For that matter any other app (like Drippler) that adds a notification icon (lower right beside the time and battery icons) no longer shows up. I am running Nova launcher, but have tried going back to GO Launcher and also the stock launcher (rebooting each time). Not sure what else (short of a factory reset) to try, Anyone have any ideas?

Oh, should mention that if I swipe up or tap the notification area (clock and battery icons) I do see notifications in the pop up menu. Just no icons as used to be.

I must be totally blind, but I cannot locate the Notification option in Settings.

open quick settings menu by pressing the lower right hand corner of your screen, then press any where near date or battery indicator, there you will find a notification button.

Well! Found it, indeed the notification option was off. Turned it on and the icon Lookout reappeared. I think that may have restored the notifications.

Thanks so much for the response!
