If your Gmail account is set to a 'POP3' service than that would explain why you have to manually sync/fetch your mail. You would need to set it to IMAP, which is a 'Push Service', i.e. your mail will automatically pushed to all devices that are linked to your Gmail account. To do this you'd need to sign into your Gmail account online and go to settings (the cogged wheel top right-hand of your screen) > then Settings again > then the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab > then go down to 'IMAP Access' and click on the 'Enable IMAP' radio button followed by 'Save' at the bottom. You should now enjoy the Push service with no more manual checking required.
