There used to be an item known as Gmail Notifier for Mac, and this recently (last week) was discontinued by google; citing their browser was their answer. Or an add-on to an existing supported browser that could allow you to see gmail when already online in a browser.
Neither of these were suitable for my older Macs (pre Snow Leopard) but I already had a Google Notifier version in each of my Macs. And I had locked the application prior to announcements of its demise.
While they did discontinue the product and the numbered notification function in Notifier, I was able to use Notifier preferences to disable the automatic features yet still use the icon in the main Menu to still access my logged-in Gmail account. The icon allows access to gmail and calendars, via my google account.

If you have multiple Gmail accounts that you use simultaneously, Mailplane is the app you need to have on your Mac. Simply put, Mailplane is a native Mac app that wraps around the familiar web interface of Google’s products. With Mailplane, you get Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts — all in the same application. Njideja Momah had it right, but at first I couldn't find.More tools., as I was looking in the Chrome bar at the top of my screen (Mac Mini). Hint: it's in the upper righthand corner of the Gmail screen; triple vertical dots. And then it works just like Njideja said.
Also I no longer get their final notice email, having figured out a sequence while logged in (final notice appears in a separate window than regular gmail) and as I use a dedicated browser set as default to the System, I still use the gmail as a web-based service; not download into Mail.
Google’s Gmail is a popular email service, both for personal and business use, and there are a number of options for using it on your Mac. You can download emails directly to your computer. Once downloaded, you can attach an email to another email. On your computer, go to Gmail.
The final notice will return if you turn back on active Notifier

You may not be able to download the Notifier anymore, and I would suspect an offer to get it online may be from some untoward source of adware or some other unwanted attribute some sites will load along with the bait.
A few third-party notifier-like items had been announced but I wonder if they also don't use their version to harvest information on your online activities, since you have to blindly trust whoever they say they are.
So I am not certain of your choices or their reliability, or reputation.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
