Message notification icon - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see the same generic icon when I get an email or text. I can change the sound I get but is it poosible to change the icon to be different for email than texts? I had this on my old droid charge but cant seem to find where to change it on this phone.
I swicthed to Nova launcher but I am not rooted or anything.
Thanks!

You could use an alternate mail app, or use an app which'll notify you of a new SMS and turn off the stock SMS notifications. Take a look at "SMS popup", you can use it for SMS notification without using the popup thing.

[Q] G-Mail App Not Showing New Updates

The gmail icon on my homescreen never displays the little red number in the corner for unread messages. Is there a way to change this or is there a better e-mail client for gmail?
To get that icon, I believe it came with my Launcher Pro Icon set and there was an option to 'show notifications' or something like that. Do you have Launcher Pro?
The Gmail app doesn't have a widget. A good widget to get that functionality is "Gmail Unread Count" available in the market.
Yes, I am using LauncherPro but it still didn't work after I clicked the notifications.
The Gmail Unread Count did work though, thanks.
Actually if you are referring to the small red ballon in the dock icon (see attached image at bottom) that shows unread Gmails, it is Launcher Pro. You go into preferences then dock settings and click on email notifications. You can also see missed text messages a well! I'm not referring to a widget.

Just wanted to add that this is only for the DOCK icon. I don't think it's applicable to a home screen icon.

Looks like the stock messaging app notification. Disable from settings in the app.

Check your handcent notifications. I think it has an option to use that icon for messages.
Also, when you pull down the notification bar, and select that message, what happens? It should take you to the app causing the notification.

[Q] No SMS notification at all--sound or icon

A few days ago, I've lost the sms notification for the default Samsung Messaging app. If I install Go SMS, I get notifications, but not with the default messaging app, which I prefer.
I've checked all settings and have notifications turned on, but still not getting any notifications. It's not a volume issue--volume is at 100%. I don't get a sound or an icon. I've searched the web and found that others are having similar issues, without solution.
I must have turned something off or something conflicts with it, but I've tried everything that I can to fix it and am at a loss. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Have you definitely gone into sms then settings and made sure notifications are on ? If so I'd try turning off the notifications thrn closing up sms then going back in to turn on. If no go maybe uninstall go sms for now and try again

Tried all of the above and still no go.
Do you have something else set as your default message app?

Messaging app was set to default, but once I uninstalled go sms, everything worked. Thanks!

MMS problems from email

I have a problem when people send me MMS from an email or if they use one of those "free text app" on their iPod and it uses an email to send MMS to my phone number.
I'll get the notification in the bar from the correct sender(the email address) and it'll say Picture Message. I tap on the notification and it takes me to the messaging app where its there in my list of conversations for a split second, then disapears. I can't get it to stay, or show me the message. It's like the messaging app is deleting it before I get a chance to open it.
How do I fix this?
Attached in an example notification. When I tap on it. It's in my conversation list and vanishes before I can go into that particular message.

Quick Reply for SMS

Trying to find an app for quick replying to sms messages. I installed sMs popular from the play store and it works except the messages still show unread. Also the contact pictures don't show up. Anyone know of a better app to use?

sms popup
i really liked the one from cm10 tho
Sliding Messaging is great for anyone coming from AOSP ROMs with the expanding notifications, quick reply/mark read, and breathing status bar notifications.
I had to manually edit the MMS APN settings within the app to get it fully functional, but now I'm able to send/receive MMS + group MMS perfectly.
I use GoSMS Pro, but SMS Popup works great as a standalone app.
