is there a way (in ICS) to configure notifications to be silent but still leave calls etc to be audible? I thought there would be a 'Silent' option in the list of ringtones but there isn't. And if I select Volume Control it groups the notifications with other sounds.
 
You have to do it from each individual program.

Silent sms:
Go into sms>menu>setting>notifications>uncheck play notification sound.
Silent email
Go into email>menu>settings>notification settings>uncheck notification sound
Silent gmail
Go into gmail>menu>settings>click on your email address>ringtone & vibrate>ringtone>silent

Record a 1 second sound file (WAV, MP3) of silence, copy it to a Notifications folder off /mnt/sdcard (assuming it's the same folder structure as Amaze's on ICS), select that in your Sound Set. Done.
