Only showing notifications for "primary" emails is the default behavior of the official Gmail apps (android app), so I'd say it is definitely a bug.

The solution posted on askubuntu isn't the behavior I want nor the behavior categories is intended for.

I do want to see all my email before I archive it. Mails such as bug reports, mailinglist updates, new humble bundles etc. are important just not urgent. I should not receive notifications about them on my phone. They should however show up as unarchived, unread new email when I open the app or gmail in the browser. You can "teach" categories which email is urgent (primary) and which isn't. That's the beauty of this functionality.

Having the ability to get notified for all email is a nice option to have as non-default. However, I think the default behavior should be the same as the official Gmail apps.
