I have exactly the same problem... I don't receive any gmail notification on my iPhone (via gmail app). But it doesn't happen with my iPad.
I noticed this problem like 2 weeks ago. I checked on my iPhone settings/notifications, all is on... but still don't receive any.
Did u fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.

I just deleted the gmail app and install it again... problem fixed ;)
Are you using the built in Apple Mail app, or Google’s gmail app? gmail using the Apple Mail does not support Push, so you won’t receive notifications when mail arrives. One workaround is to install the gmail app, even if you don’t want to use it to read gmail; just set it up, and it will support push and notifications.
Thanks for the reply. I have been using the gmail app but prefer to stay in the apple ecosystem. I don’t understand why tech support doesn’t mention that the apple app doesn’t support push notifications. When I use an iCloud address it works perfectly. Hate switching email addresses.
It has nothing to do with the Apple app, which DOES support push notifications. But push notifications have two ends; an app that can receive push notifications (as Apple Mail does), and a mail provider that SENDS push notifications. Gmail doesn’t send push notifications to email apps other than its own. Currently only iCloud and MS Exchange email accounts send push notifications. Gmail did at one time, but they stopped.
Go to Settings/Mail/Accounts, tap on Fetch New Data. Do you have the gmail account set to Fetch?
what I don’t understand is why I don’t have this issue when using the Apple mail app using gmail on my iPad.
If that’s the case why don’t I have this issue on my iPad?
Yes
The issue doesn’t happen when using the gmail app only the Apple mail app.
