That's similiar to my problem except my phone rings, and the sound works for text, I get notifications of text but if I select vibrate, it will not vibrate for a text. It just shows a text recvd.. I can't figure out why...

Co-worker with Epic 4g had issue with the phone not vibrating even though it was set to vibrate. To verify the phone would vibrate I went into the haptic feedback settings, turned it on and haptic feedback was turned all the way down. I turned it up to max (phone did vibrate) so I turned haptic feedback off. Had her call her phone and it was working ok then.

1) make sure that the ringer is on

Settings > Sound and Display > Ringer Volume

2) make sure that you don't have "Silent" selected as the notification ringtone.

Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone

3) make sure that you're not in "silent mode"

Settings > Sound and Display

Uncheck the top box.

Hope this helps,

I've had the same problem with having no notification alert sounding. I've created the root folder Media/Audio/Notification to select my custom tones on my rooted phone. After checking all the settings, trying different tones, uninstalling all apps, and then even doing a factory reset. None of this helped. I even installed handcent to try. When I would have handcent test my notification it would only vibrate. so after all this i figured ok unfixable. i was wrong. I got bored and installed a Halo Reach app that says the medal's names and it allows you to hard press a medal to set as a custom notification.... so i did. Now my notification alert works?!? After getting that to work I tried to change the alert through the settings and no luck. Go back to the Halo app and set and it works again. Im wondering if I would have any similar problems if I flashed to a different rom? Anyone have a solution or input on flashing to fix?

There is a system wide setting for notifications that you need to check first.
MENU-SETTINGS-SOUND.

In this menu are a few things you need to look at. Click on VOLUME and make sure the sliders are correct (and that your notification one is not all the way down).

The go into NOTIFICATION RINGTONE.
Pick one. Any one. Make sure it makes the sound back when you select it. This is the system wide notification setting- default notification setting.

If this works, all your notifications should make the above sound. If this works, each application you can change the default ringtone to a custom one just for that app (Handcent, Talk, Gmail, etc). I have had the default ringtone get "stuck" before, and changing the system wide ringtone did the trick. Now that I think on it, I think what I actually did was use RingDroid to make a notification sound, and when it asked if I wanted to make it my default, I said YES. That seemed to free up whatever was stuck in my case.
