Solved: Gmail notifications on Android - Page 2

The Gmail app for Android allows users to reply, archive, or delete messages right from the notifications bar.

We all know that's how it's been for ages - the option to mark the following message as read didn't exist, and it still doesn't. Is there, by any chance, any workaround? It's incredibly annoying.

@micjar I Haven't tested it but these are the workarounds I got from the internet :

Swipe the notification: When you receive a new email notification, you can swipe the notification to the right or left, depending on your device, to dismiss the notification and mark the email as read. This should work if you have the "Swipe to archive" option enabled in the Gmail app settings.
Use a third-party app: There are several third-party apps available on the Google Play Store that allow you to mark emails as read directly from the notification bar. One such app is "Notif Pro", which lets you customize your notification actions and add a "Mark as Read" option for Gmail notifications.
Use a notification manager app: You can also try using a notification manager app like "Notification Toggle" that allows you to create custom notification buttons for various apps, including Gmail. You can create a button to mark an email as read and add it to your notification bar. #1 don't sound right, may be you can try #2 and #3
