Email icon not showing in header or giving sound allerts

[pipcart2]

My Nexus 4 running 4.4.2 no longer shows an icon at the top of the screen when emails arrive. The sound alert is also unreliable now,so it no longer plays with the first email to arrive after I last checked.

Can anyone help, please?

Have you checked your phone is on the alerting mode ??? If yes then I think that system notification might be switched off, try pressing and holding the the volume up button when the volume appears you may have noted that a settings icon appear at the right corner just press that and drag all the slider to the right side of the screen.
