Does anyone know if it is possible to have your notifications go off multiple times? I switched from an iPhone 4 which let me repeat every 3 minutes. Is anything like that possible?
It looks like the minimum time interval for repeating events is one day. The Clock/Alarms will allow you do repeat an alarm on specific days (weekly). The calendar app will let you repeat events daily/weekly/monthly/yearly.
I searched for "alarm" on the Play market and tried the top two third party alarm apps and neither appeared to have the feature you described.
You could create an alarm and set the snooze for 3 minutes or create three separate alarms spaced 3 minutes apart.
I mean for text messages and emails. Not alarms. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ah, I misunderstood. I don't see a way to have notifications repeat in the default apps and settings.
After a quick google search, it looks like the app "Handcent SMS" will do what you described.
Once installed, go in to Settings-->Notification Settings-->Notification Settings(again)-->Enable Reminders
The settings there will allow you to set how frequently you'll receive reminders for unread messages.

I have a few personal tasks that i need to do at a specific time of the day and at time i am too busy and forget about it
I am looking for an app that will pop up reminder (and play sound) at a set time. Also need to be able to do repeat event so i dont have to program it everyday. So it sort of like the calender that come with android but since the calender on the galaxy does not allow me to customize the reminder ring tone. I cant hear a "beep" when i am in a busy environment.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I just use the alarm on the clock app
you can use the alarm clock on the phone
you can set the exact time.the ringtone it plays.
and you can set the days you want it to ring
Oh DUH!!! i'm thinking too hard. Thanks for your helps. It did exactly what i wanted.
I guess nobody actually uses calendar? I started using it for the first time yesterday and to my chagrin you can't dismiss an individual notification! I have to say google fails at executing terribly....really annoying...
I've been using the free Calendar Snooze for over a year. Besides having a snooze setting, each reminder pops up on its own, so you have to dismiss them individually. http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/productivity/calendar-snooze_gjro.html
I know I'm resurrecting an old topic here, but it's been a year and its very disappointing that this hasn't been implemented yet. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to be able to swipe away a single reminder from maybe reminder list. It's not a problem if I have one or two notifications, but when it groups them into one, I have to go into it, select the reminder, then dismiss, and repeat for each one. If I have 5 reminders and only need one, it's far more difficult to get rid of the four than it should be. Very surprised it's made it to jelly bean without this feature.
I would like my calendar reminders to be tied to my alarm rather than notifications. The problem with it being tied to notifications is that I don't want texts/emails waking me up at night, but I want an 8AM meeting (which I had this morning and overslept for ) to generate an alarm for, say, 6.30. On my nokia n95 that I had before this, I could set reminders for an arbitrary time before a meeting and it would generate an alarm with an alarm tone, not a notification style *beep* tone that does not repeat. So, what I want is actually pretty simple -
1) Decouple calendar alerts from notification volume
2) Be able to set an alarm reminder at some arbitrary time before a meeting
I've done a bit of research and there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory solution to something that seems like a basic problem to me. So, if anyone here has ideas, please let me know.
Tasker maybe?

1. calendar notifications on weekend for work calendar - I dont want my work calendar to send notifications. Also I dont want notifications during nighttime. Is there any way to control this in stock calendar app? some other calendar app?
2. When bunch of notifications appear, how can I say, remove all notifications? (After I have reflashed a new ROM and resurrected 50 apps using TB .. I would like to get rid of all those notifications ..)
Thanks
1) you can set work email to not sync or not have any default reminders. I know on the Google calendar, you can disable notification(but it'll to apply for alldevices the calendars is syncing to
some Roms, youcan set profiles to disable alerts. custom apps like tasker cando it too
2) there should be a clear button on the drop down notifications bar

Thanks! I should have seen it!!
Another thing I tried and worked -> swipe the notification away. (not useful to clear all, but to clear one by one)

I found an app that works perfectly for my needs. Timerific. Its free and easy to use.
This problem only began happening yesterday but i do not recall downloading anything new or changing settings. I will attach a screenshot (with sensitive info blanked) which shows what is happening. I use cloudmagic for email and textra for texts. It has always just shown the messages from each simply with the person its from and the body of the text below. However now i am seeing duplicated of both texts messages and emails (not whatsapp duplicated though) . One is the normal textra/cloudmagic notification but the other is the more blank looking one of each, with the grey icon - See screenshot. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to get the second almost blank (except for sender) notification turned off for both texts and emails. Thanks
You are also getting notifications from the stock apps. Simple. Go in and shut them off

I have set the 'email' app to show no notification from this app in - sound and notificiation area and also in the app area listed unticked show notifications. Same for default messaging. Is there anywhere else this needs to be done?

No telling as I am sure we have different devices and different setups. Could be something got corrupted. Try making sure that all things are marked as read and then clear the cache in the apps and reboot.

It seems that your third party apps are conflicting with system apps thats why you receive duplicated notifications, however you can go to application manager in Settings and set default apps of your choice, hope this may solve your problem
Thanks so much for both of your replies, still no luck yet!
Long press the notification and then hit the info button that will tell you what app it is and allow you to disable the notification.
Ok that was helpful and its make me discover the weirdest thing, both notifications are from the app i want to use. So for emails its cloudmagic and it sends me the usual cloudmagic notification - with the sender and body and also sends me the second grey empty notification. Whats wierder still its the same for texts, double notification, one the normal textra notification, the other greyed out and also from textra. So none of the stocks apps are sending the dual notifications
Actually just noticed it only happens ont he lock screen, not int he pull down notification area. I am using smart launcher
