Using the Notifications Panel
Notification icons report the arrival of new
messages, calendar events, alarms, as well as
ongoing events, such as when you are on a call.
When you receive a notification, text appears
briefly and the notification icon will be displayed
in the Status Bar.
You can open the Notifications Panel to view a list
of all recent notifications. Depending on your
settings, you may hear a notification sound and
the device may vibrate.
Applications whose activities produce
notifications, such as Gmail™ and Google Talk,
have their own settings, which you can use to
configure whether, and how, they send
notifications.

Touch and drag the Status Bar to the

notifications are listed in the panel, each
with a brief description.

Notifications Panel will close and the
application that corresponds to the
