Yes, it is the one from Google. However I can't see 'Beta' anywhere. Gmail Notifier v1.0.25.0 – Abdullah Leghari – 2014-02-07T18:41:44.557
It's the same thing, as practically everything from Google is (endlessly) "Beta". ;) See Google Comments on Why Everything is Always in Beta for example.

They did give warning by email, about 2 weeks in advance, see what I edited in. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-02-07T18:58:58.487
