It's job is to send you notifications from apps without opening them, but it use battery, to find it pull the menu down and turned on .

The notifications come even though they're late but there is no pop-up. Just the gmail icon on top

Unfortunately now it's not even vibrating when an email comes in. .
There is only a Gmail Icon that appears on the status bar.

Check Settings->Apps->Gmail->Notifications=ON. Long press on NotificationsAlerts=Allow Sound and Vibe. Long press on Notification Categories. Make sure that Allow Notifications and Mail is on for each email account. If you want Pop Up, again under Mail for each account, toggle on Show as Popup. You can configure sound by long pressing on Mail and then Sound and picking the sound.

Thank you so much but it didn't work. My gmail is completely dead and will not vibrate on notifications at all.

2 more thoughts,

Have you tried Safe Mode to see if it works then?

Do you have a Galaxy Watch paired? Often a notification setting causes this issue. Happened to me 2 weeks ago with Messages. Somehow the setting to not alert on the phone when the watch is connected got turned on.

I sincerely thank you for your suggestion...I have already made sure about that but the strange thing is that even when I go to the gmail app notification settings even though all options such as pop-UP BANNER and lock screen notifications are ON the phone will not even drop a banner when an email comes in. Almost I get us a gmail icon on top and nothing else...do you also own a z fold 5 ?

I own a Fold 5 and don't use GMail but I set it up just for you 😉

In Notification->Apps->Gmail->Notification Categories->Long press on Mail for each email account and in that menu, Allow Notifications and Show as Popup.

Doing that my Gmail showed a popup, which can be either Brief or Detailed under Settings->Notifications->Notification Popup Style

Hello Bill
How have you been ?
I have 3 Gmail accounts on my Z Fold 5 bit suddenly one of them stopped sending notifications altogether.
All 3 accounts have the same exact settings.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ken
