Is there a way to recover my lost important informations in electrum app wallet which i downloaded from playstore.

what do you mean by lost here? just removed app or also clear all app data on your phone
if you accidentally removed the app, have you tried reinstall it? data files sometimes remains on the phone

I am trying to use my gmail so that i can recover my deleted files with my "notepad" (downloaded from playstore) which i use to keep my private keys. I am sure that i have backed up my notepad but don't know how to do.

Sorry, but the electrum app and the notepad was completely erased when i reset my phone.

again, try reinstall notepad too. if you ever made a backup, there should be a way to restore it from the app menu
if you saved to google drive, you might want to check manually what you have in your google drive account

I am trying to recover my private key with my gmail but this is really mission impossible.

Did you write down the recovery seed when initially creating the wallet? If so, you could just use this recovery seed to recover the wallet on any device you'd like.
If you didn't write down the recovery seed, i hope you didn't remove electrum and cleared the cache? I guess as long as the app remains installed on your device, there'll be a way to get your hands on the wallet file itself.

So, bottom line, you need either one of these:
- the wallet file + the pincode
- the recovery seed

I don't know what you're trying to do with a gmail account here... AFAIK, gmail has nothing to do with electrum (eventough i haven't used the android client of electrum in quite a while)

Lucky if he dont able to delete the app once deleted recovery wont be possible. I have the same question on my mind on how gmail is related into this since electrum doesnt really require such information. Wallet file or seed neither of those 2 things can make recovery if you havent such thing then considered those bitcoin to be lost forever and this should be an eye opener for you to keep necessary or important things anytime when it comes to your wallets.

I think you can try to sync your files from gmail to your phone follow this step.

Go to settings then look for account settings or google accounts after that add your email or touch the email account where you sync your old data and then check all from sync app data to sync people just check them all after that connect to the internet and let the sync finish and try to find your notepad again where you save your private key.

Please update us about this if my guide works thanks.

Without your private keys (inside your notepad) you won't be able to access your bitcoin.
You should never store your private keys in a text file. It is just a way to expose your private keys to more attack vectors and doesn't bring any benefit.

Do you have a real backup? Storing a so called 'backup' on the same device is not a backup. Just a security risk.

If you don't have any further backup and can't find your 'notepad backup', then no.
