It looks like the Gmail webapp has a server-side counterpart to it that receives your emails and sends them to your device using Ubuntu's normal push notification service (which anyone can use): https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/guides/push-notifications-server-guide/
This is also in use in some other apps like Twitter; it doesn't mean the app is running in the background constantly, it's just using polld to receive notifications. Cheers.
