Managing notifications
Notification icons report the arrival of new messages, calendar
events, and 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 appears in the Status bar,
along with a summary that appears only briefly. For a table of
notification icons, see “Notification icons” on page 39.
Depending on your settings, you may also hear a notification sound,
the phone may vibrate, and the LED may blink. These settings and
adjusting sound volume and other general notifications settings is
described in “Sound settings” on page 320.
You can open the Notifications panel to view a list of all your
notifications.
Applications whose activities produce notifications, such as Gmail
and Google Talk, have their own settings, which you can use to
configure whether and how they send notifications, whether they
sound a ringtone, vibrate, and so on. See the sections on those
applications for details.
To open the Notifications panel
S Drag the Status bar down from the top of the screen.
On the Home screen, you can also press Menu and touch
Notifications.
The Notifications panel displays your wireless provider and a list of
your current notifications. Notifications about ongoing activities
are listed first, followed by Notifications about events, such as new
mail notifications or Calendar reminders.
