To turn them on, click on the Settings link in the top right corner of Gmail and scroll down to the “Desktop Notifications” section.
If you just want to get notified about chat messages, or if you use Priority Inbox and only want to get notifications for important messages, you can customize your settings from there too.

- Click the Settings link in the upper-right corner of Gmail.
- On the General tab, select the option you’d like in the Desktop Notifications section. You’ll be able to turn Chat notifications on or off, and can also choose to turn email notifications off, receive notifications for all incoming email, or only those Gmail marks ‘important’.
- Click Save.
Note: When enabling this feature, you must allow mail.google.com to show desktop notifications.
