Sorry, this can get complicated! There are a number of things to check.
Check Version of Android

If you a running a version of Android below 4.0.4, you must be logged into your Google account in order to receive push notifications. To check, follow these steps:

Find and select “Settings” from the applications screen. Select “About Phone”, which is usually found as the last item on the list. Find the section that says, “Android Version”. If the version is less than 4.0.4, now is a good time to try to update! To so this select “Software Update”, and follow the prompts. If you don’t want to update and you are less than 4.0.4, next we will verify whether you have a Google account linked to your phone.

Return to the “Settings” screen, and select “Accounts & Sync” from the menu. If underneath the “Manage Accounts” section, there is no Google account, you will need to select “Add Account”. On the following screen select “Google”, and you will receive a straight forward set of prompts on how to either sign in, or create a new Google account. When done, revisit the “Accounts & Sync” screen, to confirm you have your new Google account linked. Check notifications are enabled
