You are better off to NOT get notifications.

Why? better battery life.

i for one do NOT want instant notifications on anything.
When I get around to looking at my email, or my messages is good enough.

I noticed a lot of difference when I turned OFF all of that stuff, battery life is a lot better.

Hi, I don't get any push notifications for email, ebay, facebook, etc until I pull up in my driveway and my wifi connects to my galaxy s5. I would like to receive push notifications for selected apps regardless of battery life. Could someone please advise on how this is done, I feel like I've tried everything!?
Thanks

Is your mobile data working?

Check in the ... of Data Usage that Restrict Background data is off, auto sync data is on.

Just disabling notifications, without actually turning off the mobile data connection itself (or disabling the auto-sync for individual apps) isn't really going to give a noticeable improvement in battery life.
The notification is not what consumes most battery life, but it is the actual data sync (your Email auto-refreshing, etc)

Turning off your data connection of course would save a significant amount of battery life, but then, for some (most?) people (including me), the point of a data connection on my smartphone *is* to get notified about important stuff when I'm out and about

Not saying that everybody needs constant connectivity - I know folks who just turn data connection off on their phones completely, and find that very peaceful/calming.

@mzz - do you have battery saving mode enabled? If so, that MAY be disabling auto-sync. (I don't have the S5, so can't confirm for sure)
