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

I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent or something.

I am having issues with getting notifications on this phone. There is no LED noification light and I don't always hear the audible alert.
Is there a way to make the lock screen light up when a text is received? I have the stock messages and the AT&T messages installed, and neither seem to do this. It will sit there blank until I press the power button and see that something has come in.
I am using the AT&T messages for the visual voicemail, but again, open to suggestions.
Thanks.
my screen comes on when i get a text message. stock messaging app.
you can try SMS Popup and play with the settings in it to get what you want, like text message reminders and screen on/off

Mine never has, even before I installed AT&T messages.
Is there a setting that I missed?
Thanks.
Personally I'd recommend looking into Handcent. It's a much better SMS app imo and it definitely allows a screen pop to occur when the phone is asleep upon receiving a new message. A lot more customization as well.

i would prefer GO SMS PRO over handcent, but thats a personal preference.
@026TB4U, there are no settings within the stock messaging app that would enable/disable screen activation. it just works. when i get a text message and my screen is off, it comes on, shows me the slide to text, then after a few more seconds it shuts off
SMS Popup will allow you to do all kinds of things while still using the stock messaging app.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.
What about voicemail?Do any of these handle that? How are you getting notified?
I would really like to find out why mine is not lighting up....lol

I use google voice and love it. Free visual voicemail and they even transcribe it for you. Also +1 on handcent. Been using that for a long time now and love it.
Mine wakes on a new message and gives the audible alert, if you don't have it silenced.

Ok, that's 3 people that have confirmed that my phone is not behaving correctly.
Anybody have any ideas why?
My phone wakes on incoming sms as well.

I uninstalled AT&T Messages and problem is solved.
I do wish it would stay lit longer though...lol
Anyone else notice that if the messaging app is open to a conversation, and the phone goes into lockmode, or you lock it and a new message comes in, it doesn't make a peep, or flash the LED?
Am I missing a setting?
Don't think it's a setting.
I know when you have the messaging app open no notifications occur if you are in the same conversation. I think if you are in a different conversation you do get notified via task bar and vibrate/sound. I guess by design since you are there. So it seems that even with the screen off it knows where you are and won't notify.
I never noticed this since I never got a text with the app open and screen off.
Which was the exact reason I use go sms. I missed too many important texts that required immediate answers.

I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.
How do I turn off Gmail notifications on the watch with GNE?
I just want them to show up with the stock Gear Notifications.
Someone? Please?

In Notifications for Gear S (maybe it's not GNE, don't know), you can select what apps to have their notifications sent through Notifications.
For that :
1. start Notifications (on the phone)
2. press the "wrench" icon in the upper right corner to enter settings
3. Uncheck "Read Gmail Notifications"
If it's still showing notifications, you can use 2 other methods :
A. filter by notifications text
- in the settings use the "Do not read notifications containing ..." and add whatever text you know will always show up
B. selective notificationns
- in the settings activate the "Do you want to be asked for new...", this will make the app ask you for each new notification type. When the dialog shows up (when you get a notification from a new program) you can choose to send the notification or to ignore it
In case GNE and Notifications are not the same app, you should look into GNE's settings and see if it has similar ways to choose what notifications it sends.
But, then I won't see Gmail notifications at all, instead of only seeing them once, versus twice, which happens now with GNE.

If you only disable GNE to send the notifications and leave the standard Gear S notifications active for Gmail then you should get just one notification (the standard one).
If you instead want to get the notification just from Notifications Extended, well, i for one didn't manage to do that.
When i disable notifications for Gmail from the standard Gear S notifications then the Notifications Extended doesn't send the notifications either. I might have something configured incorrectly though, haven't played too much with the settings.
