SMS Noticfication Problem

So i just rooted and installed handcent and turned off stock sms notifications but when receiving text i was getting a notification from handcent and what i thought was the stock app. But then i turned on stock sms notifications and now i get notification from handcent, one from stock app and and one that says New Message(s) You have an unread message and it looks like a little picture of envelope or post card. I have no idea where that notification is coming from. its very annoying please help

Never mind thread can be closed found out that even if you don't use beautiful widgets sms that the notification will still show

Voice Mail Notifications and Fresh ROM 2.0d

When I get a voice mail notification, I'm seeing the "push" notification of Visual Voicemail in it's SMS form.
Anyway that I can hide the voice mail SMS from the SMS client?
I'm currently using Handcent SMS, but I have not checked it happens with Sense stock messaging.

If you're using handcent, just blacklist it.
I didn't see those notifications under stock SMS, but handcent and chompSMS both show it. Best way to deal with it was to blacklist it. I've had mixed success with handcent (sometimes it still shows even if blacklisted) but blacklisting it on ChompSMS removed the issue completely.

[Q] Number notification on icons ?

HI i justed returned a iphone to get driod x. i was wondering if there was a way to get number notification on the message icon on the main screen. lets say it had 2 messages , it would have a little number 2 next to the icon.

I believe Handcent does this.

I have these on my xdandroid (froyo) tp2 with launcherpro, from homescreen press menu, den preferences and dock settings. Then check the boxes under 'dock notifications' heading which enable new email/sms and missd call notifications.

thank you handcent does do it. do u know any app that would do it for email and voicemail.

AnderWebs released an app today called ADWNotifier that does exactly what you're asking for. You have to be using ADWLauncher, and it only supports SMS, Gmail, and Missed Calls at the moment, but more development is planned!

Can't clear unread messages notification (CM7)

I'm running CyanogenMod7 on my UK Desire Z. I'm also running Handcent SMS. My notification bar is reporting 6 unread messages, even though I've been into Handcent and marked all threads as read.
How can I clear this notification?

The notifications you are probably seeing are from the stock sms app.
Do you still have the stock sms app installed?
If you do you will need to go in the message settings and turn of notifications.

That explained it - many thanks!

Unread Notification Badge Counter

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and Tesla Unread.
My email app unread notification badge works, but it doesn't work for my Google Messages SMS App.
There isn't a native unread notification badge counter in our settings, is there?

Be sure that you go into the TeslaUnread app and turn on Notifications.

Thanks, it was turned on, but I think what happened was that it wasn't jiving with an icon I was using on the homescreen.
The native icon within my app drawer showed the unread, so I just removed the homescreen icon.

As much bloat as Sammy put in here, there are actually far more tuning features in the os than I would have expected.
I'm still with the OP on Nova/TeslaUnread,
but I thought I saw a built-in notification badge function I may try at some point.

I have Nova Prime but I have been trying out the stock TouchWiz launcher. Is there a badge count in settings? I am wondering if Google Voice icon supports it as I am using that for messaging

Inaccurate SMS/MMS Badge Count
I have a OnePlus 6T running Android 9.0.5 (OxygenOS). I downloaded Evie launcher and i've had inaccurate unread badge counts for my SMS app since then; it seems every time a new group thread is started, the number goes up by 1 and never falls below that (eg, if i have 4 "unread" messages and a friend texts me, the number goes to 5 until i read it, but if i get a new group chat 5 becomes the new minimum number).
I've gone through every message and thread; i've deleted multiple group threads which are finished; I've tried clearing the cache and i've downloaded Textra which has the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the count accurate?
