I have two phones (Huawei P20/ Xiaomi Note 11) with the same Gmail address but none of them seem to play notification sounds or show any type of alert.

App badges do not show on the gmail icon but for other apps there are numbers that display.

Ive checked all settings everywhere, from battery saver to notifications. Everything looks fine.

Does the GMail app show badges on your Android?

I also do have an older Huawei P7 lite, that does show banner notifications.
 
I'm not getting Gmail notifications of any kind on my Samsung A52S. Have looked for a solution without luck. Have double checked notification settings, battery saving options; nothing points to why Gmail simply refuses to push notifications.

I dumped gmail app on my phone long time ago because of same problem .. download outlook app on playstore or App storre for hassle free notifications.

my redmi 11pro was the same with sounds but did get an M on the top of the screen most times but nothing on the widget .have you looked under notification and control centre settings must be blue
 
The app works on my side on a Samsung device. Nothing on my old, good Google Services days, Hauwei device. I only noticed it now, but I don't use the Gmail app as my main driver so didn't care.

Just double checked now, it was on. I even toggled it.

Now that I read again I see badges also doesn't work. I had that problem before on a Samsung A03 I think. But at this moment can't remember exactly what I did the get it to work.
Maybe try this:

This badge can be turned off, so make sure that you have it on. From the Gmail app Inbox, tap on the Menu icon (three horizontal bars) at the top left, the scroll down to Settings > General settings > Manage notifications > Show badge on Home Screen icons. Make sure that Dot badge is selected.

I will try and remember how I got it fixed if this doesn't work.
