I did a complete restore to 5.1.1, just re-installed sparrow and it shows on NC. Thought, I haven't jailbreak yet.
This is what worked for me.
I sent an email from another account (via Mac or PC) to my Sparrow email account. When the email arrived in Sparrow, I did NOT open it.
I then navigated to Settings > Notifications.....and Sparrow was now showing under "In Notification Center."
Good luck.
What version of Sparrow+ do you currently have installed?
You can get the latest version (1.0.2) from the dev's repo (http://freemanrepo.com/repo)....in case you don't already have it.
Alright that did the trick, yeah I had an older version of Sparrow+. Updated to the new one and emailed myself so sparrow would pick it up and it showed back up again. Thanks man!
I've got it to work finally after reinstalling sparrow+ about 10 times. I finally got sparrow to appear in notification centre settings but it still won't get emails if the app is closed. If it's minimized then everything's fine.
If anyone here has it working properly can you please post your sparrow settings (account - data, iirc) and also mail push settings from general > mail settings.

I tried going through this entire process to no avail. It doesn't make sense how Sparrow just won't show up in NC. Everything else works just fine. Sparrow+ push is working, but without it being in notification center it makes it useless. I even tried emailing myself so it would pick it up and it's not working. I installed the latest Sparrow 1.2 as well as Sparrow+ 1.0.2

Wow that's terrible. Any way to force NC mail banners to be opened by sparrow then?
NC banners open when Sparrow is running in your application switcher and you receive an email to your inbox or if you manually open Sparrow and close it quickly (but that defeats the purpose of the banners).
Currently that's the only way. It's no biggie leaving Sparrow process running in the background though (doesn't consume that much battery). I use an app called KillBackground and set it to "filter" Sparrow Mail from being killed when launched. Works well.
NC Banners are hit-or-miss currently so I'm glad the dev is going to work on it. Thx mattdo93 for the update.
Working fine here. Make sure you have the latest 1.0.2 version installed + have the Sparrow Mail application process running in the background (in your application switcher).
Check your account settings from within the sparrow app. Is data set to push?

Figured it out. I had no idea that there was a setting within sparrow to set emails to push. Figured there would be no setting since sparrow doesn't have push email.
How does the default email client setting work. For example if have it set to the default email client but if I'm in other apps or the photo app and try to share a photo or link it says I have no email client set up.
For example, try to share a URL within tapatalk.
