Gmail doesn't notify me when I get an email.

I won't know that I have one until I swipe the notification shade down and see it.

Is anyone else having this problem?
 
I have to refresh the gmail app to see new emails sometimes and others they pop right through and show the notification. It is not consistent.
 
Yeah check the simply things like it's not set for battery optimization and back activity on , to do that long press Gmail app tap storage then scroll to battery and tap there .also check you don't have power save modes on or the app is is set to sleep in device care settings.
 
It seems to be set like Facebook And other apps that have notifications pop up on the screen. I feel like I'm missing something

If you long press the Gmail icon like I mentioned earlier it has other things to check , have you done that ?
 
I checked it. The notifications are showing up in the shade, they just don't pop up on screen with a notification when they come in.
 
My screenshot to show you

When you long press the gmail icon and tap info this area want you see , also go in into notifications there and tap mail to get to the 2nd picture I'm showing 20200102_174330.jpeg20200102_174226.jpeg
 
Thanks Mustang7757. Mine was set to optimize and pop up was off. I will see if that changes things.
 
From look of your menu in the screen shot figured app info . What Android version you on ?
 
Gmail is funny with notifications, sometimes I get none and sometimes I get them twice
