Notification question from a rookie

[mfm77]

Hi All, I just got my first Android device today: a 2013 Nexus 7. I have an iPhone and an iPad but want to learn more about Android, hence my new purchase. One of the first issues I've encountered involves notifications not syncing for certain apps. For example, I put the Facebook app and the FB Messenger app on my Nexus 7, but now I'm not getting notifications on my iOS devices. I also noticed that I didn't get new Yahoo mail notifications (using the Yahoo mail app) on my Nexus. Am I missing something about notifications?

Thanks to any and all who can help me out!

I only use android so I can't speak for iOS but I used to at least receive notifications on my phone and tablet Nexus 7.

This may be obvious but have you double checked the notification settings?

Yeah, I have - everything seems to be checked off that I need checked off. Is it a platform issue? Or a setting that I might not be aware of?

Welcome to Android Central! The Yahoo Mail app should have its own Notifications setting. Open the app, then swipe in from the left (or tap the menu button at the upper left), then scroll to the bottom for App Settings. The Notification setting should be there.

It could be possible that the nexus is getting the notification faster and clearing it off the system.
