email notice

I want to say email title of new emails in google primary tab. Not forum , update or social tab.

So far bumpkiss luck. Googling reaped no info other than tip to use k9. K9 and tasker, doesn't work . no trigger, no variable with sender yet. I even put k9 as owner app of notifications. also k9 is hopelessly crippled because it cannot do simple Gmail tabs. So in theory, even if I got this working, this would not be something I really would want because I am flooded with promotions updates social, and only interested in the primary tab.
 
Hi degarb,

The Gmail app allows you to change which Labels (tabs - Social, Primary, Updates, etc) generate notifications. You could perhaps disable notifications for all of those except primary (this is how I have it configured - I figure that the Primary tab is the only one that could require my immediate attention).

You could then setup Tasker to speak all Gmail notifications. :)

To change the notification settings in the Gmail app:
• Browse to the Label you want to change
• Tap (menu) > Label Settings
• Uncheck Label notifications
• Repeat for the other labels you don't want to know about.

Hope that helps :)
