Every new rom I install I don't recieve notifications from twitter or facebook. I recieve a gmail notification but never a notification for that specific app. How do i get my notifications to come through?
Make sure your notifications box is checked. In Facebook, click the menu button on your phone and go into settings. The box saying "Notifications" should be checked in and say "Active". As far as I know, Twitter should send you notifications automatically.
i did all that all my notification boxes are checked but when i get a mention on twitter i get an email from gmail but not a twitter notification
I was actually also getting that also until the new update now it is coming through sometimes but yeah sometimes they don't come in

Use friendcaster instead of the Facebook app. Then under settings in friendcaster have it set to push notifications. This will make it so that when you get the email, you will get a friendcaster notification. They have a twitter app too called tweetcaster that is equally badass.

i have recently come from HD2 and then a Hero which used to send me notifications for emails facebook etc. However since getting the Desire it doesnt appear to be doing notifications except for txt messages and tweets.
Facebook i can understand as by reading forums it appears to be intermitent, but im sure its supposed to let me know if i get email. i have notifications on and set for 2hr intervals for two accts but stiull nothing.
nothing on the forums yet for this , any suggestions?
many thanks for reading.
oh and this site has been a godsend for me my hd2 and desire!!
You need to turn on the notifications for email, facebook, etc...I've just turned mine on now and it seems to work fine!
e.g. open friendstream, click the menu button and select settings and you can set the notifications in there
hi,
i have set up gmail but how do i get rid of the gmail notification icon?
i prefer the HTC mail notification
i like HTC mail better for viewing mails, it renders hor/vertically better than standard gmail app
but i do not get HTC mail notifications but gmail notification.
so how do i stop gmail notifications and get HTC mail notification ?
thx
Have you entered your Gmail account details into the HTC app? Then you go into the app and you'll see your inbox. Hit Menu>More...>Settings>Notification Settings and make sure the notifications you want are all turned on.
Then if you don't like the Gmail app, delete your details from it. If you still want it again go into the inbox. Hit Menu>Settings> and at the bottom should be the Email Notification settings...turn them off.
thx, i got it worked out now !
For some reason, my Facebook application (the official one from the market) does not create any notifications when I receive a message, etc on Facebook. Only when I actually open the Facebook application does it realise I have a message and then creates a notification.
In Facebook -> Menu -> Settings I have Refresh Interval set to 30 minutes and Notifications checked. What could I be missing?
Thanks.
You're not missing anything. In my experience all FB apps, even the one on my iPhone, have this problem or at least that of inconsistent notifications. I suspect the FB API is pants.

Do you have a task killer/manager running that auto kills...?? If so make sure to exclude all instances of Facebook, even if there are duplicates, as this will stop notifications being diaplayed.
That could be, I'll set ATK to ignore Facebook and report back if it starts working. Thanks.
I'm the newest owner of the LTE GN. While I absolutely love it over my Rezound (mostly because of ICS and the sleek factor of the device) I've noticed that both the Gmail and Facebook apps aren't pushing notifications to the phone. I've scoured the phone for the options to enable them, but I'm just not seeing them. Gmail isn't a big deal since I switch to the standard email app and that pushes no problem, but Facebook would only push messages, not wall posts or replies. Any suggestions? Thanks!
For Gmail, tap Menu, Settings, tap your email address, Email notifications.

Facebook doesn't have official push notifications. The fastest polling period you can select in settings is 30 minute sync. I've noticed that for things like friend requests and event invites its usually like 5-10min behind the site updates.
I've never been able to get notifications consistently though. I use the Facebook Messenger app for push messages and that does work. That's all I care about really.

Facebook is meant to have push notifications but in reality it doesn't work. Some say it does but they're few and far between

Rad. So any alternative apps that can get me push notifications?
What about friendcaster? It says
"★ Gmail/K-9 Push Notifications. FriendCaster can check for emails that Facebook sends to you telling you that you’ve got a notification."
"★ Notifies on Facebook Messages, Friends’ Birthdays & Notifications"

I don't enough to try and fix it, all I wanted was contact sync which although some custom ROMs do the picture resolution is piss poor. I now use HaxSync and I'm happy with it
I get FB push notifications. It's not instantaneous, but rather in the period of 2-10 mins.
You just set your refresh interval to "Never" and you're set.
I've got my Xperia S running ICS 4.0.4.Since I first got it, I haven't been able to get Facebook notifications on my lockscreen. SMS and email work just dandy, though. Calendar, too. And missed call. Everything except for Facebook. When I had my Xperia Arc running GB, the Facebook notifications were so reliable. Part of the reason why I got the S was because I was excited for having the Facebook notifications on my lockscreen again, but it doesn't work. Any idea of what I need to do to fix it, or what might be wrong?
Facebook is checked in the lockscreen notifications part of display. And Facebook notifcations are set to active in the Facebook application. I've done a settings restore, and I've cleared data in the Facebook app. Still nothing.
We only have notifications of Calendar, Email, Miss Call and the last one, Message. Let check it out by yourself in settings/display/lockscreen settings
