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, 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 41.

may vibrate, and the Notification LED may blink as well.
Adjusting sound volume and other general notifications settings is described in
“Sound & Display Settings” on page 214.

Talk, have their own settings you can use to configure whether and how they send
notifications. See the sections on those applications for details.
