Gmail has been giving problems with notifications for some time, so in this article we will try to explain how to activate Gmail notifications on Android .

Those of us who use e-mail to work or very frequently, have notifications to notify us that we have new mail in the inbox is fundamental. When Gmail does not notify new emails, we end up losing our valuable time.

How to activate Gmail notifications on Android.

For many users this is a problem of the application itself or the Android operating system, due to the large number of cases, here we will show some steps that should solve the problem in all cases.

First step: check if Gmail notifications are enabled.

We start from the base that Gmail synchronizes emails well, that is, emails arrive in our inbox but we are not notified. The first step will be to verify that Gmail notifications are activated, for this we enter the application and follow these steps:

• We display the menu by clicking on the three horizontal bars and select the option "Adjustments" .
• We select the Gmail account by clicking on the name of the email.
• In the options that are shown to us, we activate the "Notifications" box.

Second step: check the configuration of the Gmail application.

If the previous steps do not solve the problem, we have to go to the "Settings" of the device and select the "General" section and click on "Applications" . A list of all the installed applications appears on the screen, where we select "Gmail" and verify that the "Show notifications" box is activated.

If with the previous steps you still do not receive notifications from Gmail, you will have to access the list of installed applications as we showed you in the second step, select "Gmail" and click on the "Clear data" and "Clear cache" buttons. Then configure Gmail again as in the first step and check again if the alerts work.
