It seems like it's an issue on Gmail's end. When I woke up this morning I noticed that push for my Gmail account had suddenly stopped working on my 3GS (before this it had always worked properly). I also have to open Mail for it to download my emails now. Hopefully Google fixes whatever is causing the problem.
have you set it up as a gmail exchange account rather than a normal gmail account? as normal gmail doesn't do push
I have setup my GMail account as Ms Exchange and set Fetch to Push - but I have to go into the Mail app to check for new mail - I don't get the Push Notification (i.e New Email) popup showing ?
Oh good I thought I had something wrong with my phone.. I have been getting push from another account but my gmail hasn't been pushing either..
My gmail active sync has been very flaky also. Sometimes it comes in instantly and other times it takes hours :S
Im also on 4.0.1 which is supposed to fix some exchange sync issues

I just clicked on the gmail option when it asked what type of account. Do you mean MS Exchange? I can't find gmail exchange anywhere on the iPhone 4
Then you never had push gmail. You have to set it up as an exchange server to get push.
