Re: Not receiving Gmail push notifications on Galaxy S6

I had the exact same issue with my new Samsung Galaxy S7 and tried everything recommended. Nothing worked. But then I simply removed the account and added it again and it started working.

I turned off Power Save mode and started getting gmail notifications again.

Re: Not receiving Gmail push notifications on Galaxy S6

I have an S6 edge. I had the same exact problem as the OP after migrating my info from my old S3. All notifications worked expect the Gmail ones.

I got around resetting my phone, see below:

-Open Gmail app
-Settings for app
-Select your email account
-Make sure sync Gmail is checked (mine was)
-Select days of mail to sync, change to desired setting
-Select Manage Labels *important*
Here is where mine wasn't right. Go over this list, set days to sync for what you want here (like the primary inbox, mine wasn't set to sync!)

Even doing this, it's not going to work right away - it needs time to sync up.

I suggest doing this just to make sure it does it:
-Settings in your phone
-Personal section , then select accounts
-Select Google
-Select your Gmail account
It should show Gmail syncing
-Turn Gmail sync off, then turn it back on

When it's finished syncing this time (may take awhile) - - your notifications should start working again!

Some of these steps may not be needed, but it worked for me. I made an account to share the info!

Hi! I looked in my Manage Labels section and see that nothing but Inbox and Sent is synced!

How do I set the sync to individual labels? (i tried clicking on label and see:
Sync messages
No messages will download

Notifications

Sync messages for this label to enable notifications

the only thing that can be clicked in the last part, but nothing happens!

Please help!
