I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.
As of last few weeks, I do not have any gmail notifications in notification bar.
I looked around and found many have same issue and some say to go into gmail settings on phone and turn a bunch of notifications for this and that on. So I did. Everything is turned on, no notifications.
Phone DOES receive new emails, as when I go into any of my gmail accounts on the phone, inbox will say "3 new" or whatever the number of new messages is.
But none will show in notification bar.
Suggestions? I just spent 45 minutes digging this out online and fooling with accounts settings on my phone. Every one says notifications turned on, labels and all that new bs turned on, etc. Sync is of course tuned on. Good connection. I mean - EVERYTHING says it should work on the phone.
No notifications. Just had another email pop on PC screen for one of my emails, in Thunderbird - phone is silent.
Thank you.
Any apps or mods that might be blocking notifications? Are your other notifications working properly?
If you're using Priority Inbox, you have to enable notifications for all other tabs besides Inbox. I kinda don't think that's your problem based on your description, but FYI anyway.

Hi Guys,
I've noticed a problem with my Whatsapp the last couple of days, I have single messages to vibrate when coming through, but group messages to not vibrate (I'm in a lot of groups and its problematic when I'm at work )
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, and its swtiched off in app, but no matter what, I still get vibration when a group message comes through, which is a lot.
Has anyone else noticed this? I've looked through the S5 settings but cant seem to find anything to fix it. It's only happened since I updated WA 2 days ago.
Also, I should add, I changed my cache from dalvik to ART, so maybe that could be it?
Cheers.

In groups or single notification... there is an independent configurations; I had ART and Dalvik and no vibration at all
Hi Mate,
I never had any issues at all until the other day, I originally used the in app settings to control vibration, but even if they are both off it wil still vibrate for new messages,
I've gone back to Dalvik as the phone was begining to lag and hang, but still have the issue with whatsapp.
Sorry guys, I didn't realise it was that confusing.
the break it down.
Until the latest update (about 3-4 days ago) I had single messages in WA to vibrate, but group ones not to vibrate. This was controlled in the App itself, via settings -> Notifications.
So I had Vibrate: Default for Message (single) notifications and Group Notifications Vibrate: Off.
BUT it still vibrates for group message, even though its off.
Does that make sense now?

Hello!
I'm having a similar problem, did you manage to find a solution?
I had opened a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/whatsapp-bug-please-help-t2824223
I reported the bug to Whatsapp, they told me it's a feature lol! I asked them if this was indeed a feature then what's the use of the "default" setting under notification->Vibration. No answer.
I upgraded Whatsapp about 5 times to different new versions to no avail. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail.
Is there any solution? Can we use tasker to fix this?
Thank you kindly.
Issues Resolved???
Hello!!
I am also in a similar situation.
My phone(HTC M8) Vibrates even after all the Vibrations are turned off.
But this happens only when the phone is in Vibration mode or Silent Mode.
In the Normal mode audio comes but no Vibrations.
Need to stop all Vibrations for Whatsapp Notifications.
Any Suggestions??
Thanks!!

Reporting this bug to whatsapp since april 2014? or early....but they don´t do nothing.
I found a workaround: If you want no vibration put Whatssapp Tone notification: None
I suggest all whatsapp vibrate problem :
Go play store and install app ops and than reboot your phone open app ops and find whatsapp kill permission of vibrate
Wattsup just updated.
Also make sure you have Notification for GROUPS and individual messages turned to OFF in Wattsup Settings !!
1st seleck on vibtare on go back exit from app and now select off may be its work
Im also face this problem in my note3
Same problem here with 2.12.194. Before the update I had individual messages vibrate on and group message vibrate off. Now with every message in a group chat the phone vibrates. I already uninstalled and installed whatsapp, deleted cache, even downgraded to 2.12.193 where I didn't had this problem but now it's present!!! :S:S:S:S

For those people who end up in this thread because they experience this issue: I've found a solution.
Go to: Settings --> Notifications --> Notification Sound --> "Silent" AND Settings --> Notifications --> Vibrate --> "Off"
Do this for single messages, or group messages, or both, whichever you need.
The problem is that if you set a sound (instead of silent) for these messages, but then set your phone to silent/vibrate, it will try to play the sound when you receive a message, but the phone, not Whatsapp, will "convert" it to vibrate.
I can confirm it on WA 2.12.252, even if Notification sound and Vibrate are set to Off :/

even though this is an ola thread I made an account just to thank you for this post, been driving me nuts for days!!
it's probably just me, and something really simple, but when I'm using my phone and someone messages me on the FB msg app, I no longer get the drop down showing the message ? I get the notification alert and the icon, but thats it
Everything in the app settings is turned on and for other messaging apps (IG, Textra etc) I'm not having any issues......
any ideas?

Ha dang - got excited seeing a reply
Check drop zone is activated....if you search Google Huawei drop zone it mentions FB and receiving notifications etc.
Drop zone is found in (stock app) phone manager.
Has any battery savings been disabled.
I have similar issue with Gmail not giving notifications etc.
Has FB messenger changed/updated? Check settings in app.
Yup drop zone is activated. Toggled it on and off to make sure. Had one message drop down and thought it was fixed but then it resorted back to how it was.
Partners is still showing drop downs so the app hasn't changed.
Cant for the life of me work this out !
Clutching at straws but some of my notification issues with SMS messages not popping up started working when I turned off smart lockscreen notifications in security settings face detection.
I can't say that this is going to fix it.
