I used to use an app called Gmail notifier to give me notifications of new e-mails. One of the reasons I liked it over the standard Gmail notification is that you can also set a time period when the notification sound will not ring in case of a new e-mail, so I can turn it off automatically at night time when I should be sleeping. However, it no longer works for Android 4.0, so I had to find a new solution.
I am currently using Gmail Label Notifier+ Widgets:
 | Allows you to define the color of the notification icon |
| Comes with a widget which can show the unread e-mail count on your home screen (again with user selected color for the icon) |
 | Does not automatically clear notifier in case I’ve read the new e-mail without selecting Gmail from the notification dropdown. |
| The notification does not provide any information about the new mail, such as who sent it and the subject. |
| Supporting multiple inboxes for home screen widget can either be done through multiple widgets or a combined widget which I don’t find aesthetically pleasing. Would be nicer if it can just show multiple unread counts with a single icon. |
