How do I turn off email notifications on my Gmail app on Android?

I'm using an LG Tribute phone which I recently purchased for Virgin Mobile. I have Gmail installed and by default, whenever I get an email, it generates a notification (in my case a buzz since I have my phone on vibrate).

How do I turn off notifications entirely for my Gmail app (don't want any sounds when I receive an email)?

Answer

Also, if you wanted to disable notifications entirely for the Gmail app (or any other app for that matter), you could do this:

1. 
   

   Go to Settings → Apps → All Apps tab.

   
   


2. 
   

   Find the app you want to stop receiving notifications for and tap on its entry.

   
   


3. 
   

   Find a check-box for "Show Notifications" and uncheck it.

   
   



4. 
   

   A warning that you might miss important updates will be shown, tap "OK" to continue.

   
   

You have now successfully disabled notifications for the app!
