Even after enabling the following permissions, no email notifications are received from Salesforce Lightning, when a task is created(manually) and assigned to user.

  1. Setup> Activity Settings> Enable User Control over Task Assignment Notifications
  2. User Settings> Activity Reminders> Email me when someone assigns me a task

Does this require an email alert with workflow?

    How are you testing? Are you assigning the task to a different user? It won't email if you're setting the task owner to yourself. Likewise, make sure the org you're testing in has the right email deliverability settings

  • That was the issue. I was setting the task owner as myself. Thank you.

A task assignment notification will not go out if you're changing the task owner to yourself. You can go around this by logging in as another user to change the owner to yourself or by changing a test user's email to your own to verify the email is sent.

This scenario is mentioned in this knowledge article which also goes over other common scenarios why a task assignment notification might not go out assuming emails are turned on in the org.
