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 51. The trackball light also pulses once or repeatedly when you receive
a new notification. See "Sound & display settings" on page 314.
You can open the Notifications panel to view a list of all your notifications. Depending
on your settings and the model of your phone, you may also hear a notification sound,
the phone may vibrate, and LEDs may blink.
Adjusting sound volume and other general notifications settings is described in
"Sound & display settings" on page 314.
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. See the sections on those applications for details.
