See "Managing notifications" on page 24.
Status icons indicate the status of your tablet at the right edge of the System bar
and in the Status Details panel (which opens if you touch the time).
To learn more about the different kinds of mobile networks, see "Connecting to
networks and devices" on page 55.
Network status icons turn blue if you have a Google Account added to your tablet
and the tablet is connected to Google services, for syncing your Gmail, Calendar
events, contacts, for backing up your settings, and so on. If you don't have a
Google Account or if, for example, you're connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not
connected to the Internet, the network icons are gray.
Notification icons indicate that you've received a notification from the system or
form an application. They appear to the left of the time in the System bar. See
"Managing notifications" on page 24 for information about responding to these
notifications.
