Security for app launching? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of an app or something that can lock the ability to launch a specific app? For example, I want to have it where just to launch email apps, you need a password. That way if I let a friend use my device they could play around with everything else but not get into my mail. Possible?

Bah...found a flaw. If a new email comes in the notification shows dang near the whole first paragraph of any message including who its from. Any way to disable gmail and stock email client notifications beyond the icon? As in no preview?

Uncheck "email notifications" in Gmail settings.

Will that still show an icon that you have new mail?

Email

No matter which app I use for my mail, gmail or the stock android one, the notifications are just not consistent.
Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't but my phone always tells me I have an email so I know its just the nexus 7 that's being funny.
I have checked settings for syncing and everything is on so does anyone know why?
Thanks.

WiFi connection good? Is your WiFi icon grey or blue?

Sounds stupid but you got push enabled haven't you? I made that mistake, or perhaps try the awake time of the app I once had mine set to push through the night and not be awake during the day
WiFi connection is perfect and I do have things set to push.

Repeated notifications?

Since yesterday I get repeated notifications for the same thing. For example I'll get a Twitter or Facebook notification. I'll click it and take action in the app, the notification is now gone as normal. A few minutes later I'll get the same notification again! Was wondering if this had something to do with Google Services Framework update since I'm running stock rom and this problem just started yesterday. Very odd. Anyone else?

I got repeat notifications on twitter yesterday as well. Just as u described. Hopefully it was a twitter problem.

Nope. I'm getting them on Facebook too. Think its a Google Push Notification issue that's related to the Google Services Framework update. That's my guess.

I'm getting the same issues on my Nexus 7 too so it definitely appears to be a server issue and not device specific. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Facebook was weird yesterday.

Anyone know why Google decided to do this?

Without it you won't be able to access the play store, sync gmail or your contacts.
Tune off auto-sync if it's on. Go to backup & reset in settings and uncheck "backup my data". Make sure location services is off as well.

I wasn't asking for a literal explanation XD
I just didn't understand why services decided to show it's face all of the sudden. I haven't changed any settings.

Sounds like you were. Lol. Anyways, usually a reboot solves the problem.

[Q] No Google+ push notifications

I don't receive any notifications from the g+ app, although I enabled them in the app settings. What did I miss?

I am also looking for this answer because I have never gotten a single G+ notification and I have notifications enabled, too!
No one's got an idea? :/

Have you tried wiping data for Google+ and setting it up again?
