E-mail notification hack?

[D-Rock]

Using iPhone 5S on iOS8.3, 2014 Rogue S AWD.

I seemed to have figured out how to have notifications for emails (not only texts). If I have the mail app open while the Bluetooth connects, or if I power the phone off and on while the radio is on, it will give me email notifications. This has been a consistent behaviour so hopefully this will work for other people.

Although I don't respond while I am driving, it is nice to know when an email comes in so I can pull over and deal with it or let it sit. I would be curious to see if this will work for others or if anyone else has seen this work.
