I am not getting any notifications for text messages on my S4 anymore. I switched to GoSMS for a little while but ended up not liking it switched back to the normal messaging app. Ever since I did that, I no longer receive a notification for text messages on my phone, I have to open the app now to see if I have any messages. I checked my notification settings in the messaging app and in the main settings but everything is fine and enabled. Please help, this is driving me crazy! Thank you. In case it matters to anyone, my phone is not rooted.

When you uninstalled GoSMS, did you make the stock messaging app the default once again? Just to make sure, go to a contact and click the text message button. If it goes straight to the stock messaging without asking to choose an app, it's already set to default.
If you haven't tried it already, change the alerts to silent for texts and then change them back to a sound.

I am also having this same problem and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the notifications to sound or even have the indicator light appear when receiving texts. I ALWAYS have to go into the stock messaging app to see if anything is there. This is just so very irritating!!

When I first started my Samsung Galaxy I installed all of the recommended apps - one of these was called Hangouts - an app for displaying text messages. I just went into the Hangout settings and switched everything off relating to notifications and now I am getting text notifications again on the home screen. I can see who has sent me a message and a number is on the envelope

Go into settings>more>application manager>swipe over to all then scroll down to messaging make sure show notifications is checked.

Thanks Emma! My issue was with the Google Hangouts also. Just went in and turned off SMS inside Hangouts and notifications started working again,
