notification problems

[stancat]

I have a new z1 compact and it doesnt tell me when i have new e-mail or notify me of instagram or facebook messages.

When I go into any of these and refresh them i get the message and then the little #1 on the home screen next to facebook or e-mail icons will come up! but still no light, noise or icon in the notification bar at top of screen....

I have set up the notifications in settings; allocated a sound and vibrate....but still nothing! any advice?

Have you turned on "Auto-sync data"?

You find it in the quick settings.
