No. That icon is for the BB email only. You can always move the Gmail icon to your home screen, and it'll get a little red star next to it if you get a message (at least the older Gmail app did this). Haven't had the new one long enough to be able to tell, but I can't imagine they would get rid of that.

It's still there. The icon, though smaller in 2.0 version, will get a very small grey envelope within a yellow star on incoming mail.

Just installed. Two features that are badly needed are copy and paste and attachments. Might as well stick to the BB instead. I'll keep it installed for now.

I checked the little box in the settings menu inside the app to notify me when there is a new mail. I go to Profiles > Advanced> Edit and then when I go to Gmail - New Mail to chose my notifications it won't open an edit screen.

I can open an edit screen for Browser, Calendar, Facebook, Google Talk Alert, Google Talk New Message, Level 1 Messages, my 2 email accounts, MMS, Phone, SMS Text, Tasks, and WeatherBug Direct Settings.

It will not open an edit screen for the new TwitterBerry (0.8) notifications either... Hmm. I'm stumped. I cannot edit these notifications on any Profile setting. I have tried a battery pull and deleting/ re-downloading both apps.

Any thoughts??
