No, Google doesn't provide push notifications for Ubuntu (yet anyway). It's being checked in accounts-polld. Push notifications and accounts-polld are quite different things. On Fri, 2015-09-11 at 22:35 +, Gran PC wrote: > It looks like the Gmail webapp has a server-side counterpart to it >

The notifications don't come from the app. They come from a system service running in the background, which polls Google to notify you of new things. The app is not running in the background. On Fri, 2015-09-11 at 23:17 +0200, Krzysztof Tataradziński wrote: > Hello, > > I saw that even when I cl
