Notification issues

[riffraff_24]

Ok so here is the deal... I was having issues with a couple of error messages (com. Google and another one related to the app store) and have dealt with both of them....now the issue I'm having is this... I am not getting any audible notification tones at all and even some of my game related notifications are no longer showing up on the status bar... I've rebooted dozens of times (ie shut off the phone/pull the battery) but cannot fix the issue. I've checked volume settings and all other notification settings within the apps themselves and everything seems to be where it should be.... This is driving me nuts! Can anyone help?!
