On the T-Mobile, LG G2, I get Visual Voicemail notifications from my status bar at the top of screen. However, I don't get any bubble icon notifications like I do for text, phone, and emails...
Is there a way to make notifications appear on the actual icon? I remeber on my Epic 4G touch, I could use the Voicemail Widget on the main screen and that would work, but I don't see a widget for VVM on T-Mob LG G2.
Thx

As I am new to Android I maybe missing something.
Does the OS notify you have how many voice mails you have. EG: If your blackberry was turned off for a while and some left you 4 messages. You will see the total number of voice mails on your phone.
Does android do that? Or does it need an app for that function.
an icon at the notfication bar will appear if you have new voicemail, but to actually see the number of voicemails, you have to pull down the notification bar.

OK..Well I must be doing something wrong or my phone is not setup right.
I just left two messages for myself..the phone gave off the two alerts and the icon showed up but no number indicating 2 messages...
I take you also have a nexus one?

there will only be one icon for each type of notification you have. to see how many messages you have you must slide down the notification bar (the white bar), it will show you a list of the type of notifications you have and how many you have.
yes I do have a nexus one.

Hi Melterx..I understand the notification bar....it shows the number of applications etc that you have downloaded....but I do not get two voice mail notifications from the two messages I left for my self...
Any ideas on what I may be missing?
I think you're simply missing familiarity with Android. Your phone is fine. Like Melter said... slide down then notification bar and you'll see details on each notification you have.
Can I just say I can heartily recommend HulloMail as an alternative voicemail system. It's free and in the market place. It will sync with you google contacts, sms and/or email you and essentially behave like visual voicemail.
Not affiliated, just a happy user.

Using LauncherPro, if I turn notifications for text in the messaging app off, and just get notifications on launcher pro, I dont get any sounds that I have texts ...any reason or am I missing something..
Because you turned notifications off. Derp.
I guess what I mean is can I have launcher pro notifications and yet still get sound without having them pop up on the task bar? Or notification bar

Ok I just looked, so If I turn off received notifications in task bar, it also turns off messages sounds or grays them out so you can't change...that sucks, I should have an option for both

So I installed dl30 on my fathers fascinate. Everything works fine aside from he is getting a double notification icon for sms/mms messages. One is white and looks like an envelope and the other is the normal smiley face word bubble. I've gone through every facet of notifications and settings with adw and phone settings as well as trying to figure out if it is a program but no dice..the only way I can get around this is to turn off sms/mms notifications in messaging settings but that leaves him with the white icon and the goal is to have only the smiley word bubble.
Anyone have any ideas?

The envelope is usually email...

I know that however that isn't the case this time. Also I select that icon in the notification list and it takes me to messages.

Does he have an email set up as a contact?
You're not alone. I also get double notification. One is the normal sms/mms notification icon and the other is a white envelope. Not sure what it could be. It actually happened to me before DL30. Let me know if you figure it out...

White envelope is google voice. disable notifications in google voice.

Running Stock verizon LG G2, when I receive a text via hangouts app and I get to the lock screen I'll notice the hangouts notification in the notification bar and right away it disappears before I can drag down the bar to see what the message was.
Any ideas?

I get this too...maybe 50% of the time with hangouts
Text messaging with Hangouts is cumbersome and annoying, I just went back to stock Messaging app.
But this is probably a Hangouts bug, yeah.
Yep - me too.
I have this problem too - but I also had the problem when using Textra. Maybe there is something about the G2 that's preventing the typical SMS notification from working properly. I guess I'll try the stock messaging app for a bit and see if that works properly.
Does anyone know how to get the missed phone call or text message indicator to show up on the App icon? Example: On my S7 on the Text message icon, it would show a red circle with a number in it showing how many unread text messages I had, and on the Phone Icon it would also have a red circle showing the number of missed phone calls I had, and a red circle with the number of unread emails I had on the email App icon. Does this phone even have that option or support that.. -? I'm using the same Text messaging app I had on my S7 called "Textra" and on this Essential I could have 10 unread texts and you would not know by looking at the app. Thank you for any help or advice
I have the same question.

I didn't buy this phone yet, but planning to get it soon. So if you want icon badge as you explained above, then you can do one of the following:
1) Install another launcher such as Nova, Action or other. I used Nova Launcher and the option is there. (I just don't remember if you need premium ver. or not)
OR
2) Wait until Android Oreo(8) is released for your phone. This should add support for that unless Essential removes the feature(they shouldn't)

Thanks. Nova Prime is required for notifications. For only $4.99, it's a truly amazing app (must-have, even?) app!
