No push notifications for mail under iOS 4

After upgrading to iOS 4 on my iPhone 3GS, the push notifications for the mail app have stopped working. All other apps can push just fine. My mail account is a gmail account accessed through Microsoft Exchange.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Duo Core, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 2 GB of RAM, X1600 256mb, 120 GB 5400 RPM harddrive,

It seems to be multitasking. Although a great feature, somehow I have noticed that when you have Mail running in your multitasking bar or whatever it is called (double-click home button), you don't get push notifications. When I shut down Mail fully (hold finger over mail icon till it wiggles, then touch the red minus icon) then go back to the home screen, suddenly I get push notifications. Obviously a problem with multitasking. (does Apple read this?)
