I assume you have a Google account set up. Okay, click on the Gmail icon. Open the menu and go to settings. Go down to Email notifications and make sure the check mark is a glowing green. If it isn't, click on it. Leave. You should be getting Gmail notifications now.

As for Facebook, for some odd reason, I'm having problems as well. It will not let me log on using the icon application. The only way I can get into Facebook is via the browser. Going to my local Verizon store to see if they can figure this one out.

try going into your widgets and under android widgets click on Power Control and see if the circle with arrows has the green bar under it ... if not click on it so it has it green under.

I just went into verizon store and i guess droids dont have email push meaning that if someones sends u an email it wont go to your phone unless u actually go in and check your email kinda sucks wow.

If you've done as Mort days and you are still having problems, I'd take the phone to the Verizon store and have them check all of the settings, although I don't know if there anymore than what we can see.

As for facebook, I don't use the stock facebook app much, prefering to use Facebook in the browser, too. But on the stock app, there are settings that can be found by opening the stock app and pressing the far left button next to the bottom of the screen. From there, you can enable the various notifications that are posdible in Facebook.

Good luck,

my gmail pops us almost as fast as it does on my computer notification and I don't have to go in to make it show.

Go to your gmail account and press the menu button and settings. Under Notification settings make sure Email Notifications has a green check, select a ringtone for the notification (I like DROID), and I also have vibrate checked. Works fine and puts the gmail icon in the status bar when the message comes in. I just tested mine by sending a gmail from my puter to my phone and it took about 5 seconds to come in.
