How do I turn off email notifications on my Gmail app on Android?

Also, if you wanted to disable notifications entirely for the Gmail app (or any other app for that matter), you could do this:

1. Go to Settings → Apps → All Apps tab.

   
   



2. Find the app you want to stop receiving notifications for and tap on its entry.

   
   



3. Find a check-box for "Show Notifications" and uncheck it.

   
   



4. A warning that you might miss important updates will be shown, tap "OK" to continue.

   
   

You have now successfully disabled notifications for the app!
