Managing notifications
Notification icons report the arrival of new messages, calendar events, alarms, as
well as ongoing events, such as when call forwarding is on or the current call status.
When you receive a notification, its icon and a brief summary appear in the status
bar, and then is replaced just by its icon. For a table of notification icons, see
“Notification icons” on page 45.
You can open the Notifications panel to view a list of all your notifications.
Depending on your settings and your model of phone, you may also hear a
notification sound, the phone may vibrate, and LEDs may blink as well.
Adjusting sound volume and other general notifications settings is described in
“Sound & display settings” on page 262.
Applications whose activities produce notifications, such as Gmail and Google Talk,
have their own settings you can use to configure whether and how they send
notifications. See the sections on those applications for details.
