Ah, sorry, didn't understand. From what I can tell, gmail on android
aggregates multiple messages into a single notification (like the "list"
notification type you suggested). I'm assuming this is done by gmail itself
and not the OS, but my Android-fu is a bit limited so I'm not positive.
I note that the native gmail app does different things depending on what
type of notification is visible. If there's just one new email in the
notification, the notification lets you archive/reply to the email right
from the notification, and just clicking the notification brings up the
email in the native app. If there are more than one email in the
notification ("list" notification) then there are no extra UI options, and
clicking the notification just launches the app and brings up your inbox.
