I've set up a custom notification on a particular Gmail label (call it [special]). However, when an email with the [special] tag arrives, I get a notification for both the [inbox] and [special].

The audio notification plays the first half-second or so of the mailbox notification, and then switches to the [special] notification. In the notification bar, I get two Gmail icons, both with the same message when I slide the notifications open.

Without removing the [inbox] label from these messages, is there a way to eliminate the duplicate notifications?

I'm on 4.0.4.

  • As long as it is in the [inbox] you will get the notification. you could create a rule that "archives" it so it only exists in [special] and never in [inbox].

    @Ryan - these are emails that require an action, I archive them when done, so I don't want to archive them by rule when they arrive.

  • There is no way to turn off notifications for "some" items that come in to the inbox.

In the main screen of the Gmail app, from the "overflow" menu (the three dots in the top-right), choose Manage labels. From there, select a label to get a new screen with that label's settings. From that screen, the Label notifications setting controls whether you get a notification for new mails in that label. If you turn it off for "Priority Inbox" and "Important", you'll only get the notification from "Inbox".
