Help New email & text notifications always requires you to click it to clear?

[Manish500]

Hello

I an S3 (AT&T). I'm currently using the Gmail app for email and the stock messaging app for texts.

When I get a new emails and texts, I get snotifications. If I read my emails directly thru the Gmail app before clicking the notifications, shouldn't the notification disappear?

Meaning I am constantly clicking on email notifications when there are no unread ones.

Same goes for text messages - the notification doesn't disappear when I read the text straight thru the messaging app. I HAVE to click on the notification to have it clear.

Is this standard? Is there away to stop this behavior?

That is normal and no way around it other than just using the notification to open the app

If I open the G-Mail app or the SMS app it clears the notification on my phone.

As I remember, these notifications disappeared (after reading in the app) only on ICS and previous versions. May be I am wrong. However soon after sending a text (stock app) if the delivery report comes in, then when you close the app, the notification dissappears.
