Well, you could just tell an email program like Thunderbird to use your Gmail account. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're asking though.

Is there any reason you don't want to use a program like Thunderbird? You will be autommatically signed in and it is more efficient than using the online interface.

Try Pop Peeper. It's an email notifier and with the plus patch (shareware) an RSS reader.

It is not typical for any e-mail client, or webmail client, to provide notifications unless it is running or you are logged in.
The PC (or Mac, for that matter) behave differently, by design, than a smartphone. You either need to have an email client running or be logged in to your Gmail (or Yahoo, or Outlook.com, or whatever webmail client) in a browser before notifications on new message arrival will be provided. I guess it's possible that someone may have written an e-mail notifier that stays logged in to a given email account rather than expecting it to be open in the background like it typically is, but if one exists, I don't know about it. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042  If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind.        ~ Thomas Reed Powell Â

Same here, I don’t know what you are asking. I use windows ten mail and I have my gmail on it. If you are using windows ten. You can turn on your mail notifications and it will notify you even though the windows ten mail is not open. If that’s what you want. But in older versions of windows versions. It will notify you only if you have your whatever e-mail client you are using. I have mine turned off because of the kind of house I live in and I find it annoying to hear the mail notifier going off. It will go off wen you have your mail client open. That’s how I like it. If I’m waiting for an important message I’ll turn on the notifications. Either then that. I like it off.if that is what you are after.    Sent from Mail for Windows 10 Â

That's actually what's happening on the various smartphone platforms, too, in regard to their e-mail apps. Whether the window is actually open for reading, that app is still running in the background. If you kill and don't restart those (which I'm not suggesting anyone do) the notifications stop on those platforms, too.  -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042  If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind.        ~ Thomas Reed Powell Â

HI, Thank you for your email, what you said is true in case that I was using the ms-outlook as an email client with Gmail, but I’m using gmail through the web interface and as far as I know windows10 (subject to correction) does hasn’t have a way to detect that a new mail ingmail to detect a new email just come in. again I’m talking when you are using an internet browser to check mail such as firefox, edge, or googlechrome.  .   Â

Actually, that's what I tried to do first to connect my outlook email client with gmail but it gave me a lot of hassle despite the fact that I followed gmail's instructions for ms-outlook, I'guess I'm doing something wrong and I'm not notice it.

In order to get notifications from Gmail webmail for message arrivals, you must have two different settings tweaked, one in Windows and the other in Gmail's own settings.
1. In Windows, make sure the browser(s) that you're using are permitted to give notifications in Settings, System, Notifications & Actions pane. I believe Microsoft automatically activates them for new Chromium-based Edge, but I have the entries for Chrome and Brave enabled for both banners and sounds. 2. In Gmail's settings, General tab, look for Desktop Notifications. If you want pop-up notifications you need to activate the link to allow them (desktop notifications). If you just want a notification via the action center, which is how most e-mail clients do it, then simply choose the radio button for the type of notification you want. I intentionally have Gmail set to Mail notifications off. But I cannot recall whether that was the default or whether I chose that at one time. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042  If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind.        ~ Thomas Reed Powell Â

It did what he wants and even let you read them. The down fall was memory hog and was constantly indexing. Google killed it because to easy to get access to there email servers.
