No badges on custom SMS apps - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the topic states, I get no badges of unread text messages if I use non-stock message apps. It does work with stock messages thou. A touchwiz problem or something else?

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

Does anyone have a message counter on the stock SMS app?

I did a search and I don't see this anywhere. When I get an SMS message there is no counter for unread messages on the app icon. Is this normal for Samsung as I've never had a Samsung phone before. I find it kind of annoying that it doesn't show unread messages on the icon. I'd rather not use a 3rd party SMS app.

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?

How do I stop the unread message badges

Ok so i recently went back to the stock LG launcher, i was using Nova before, now i have an unread message badge on the sms, Facebook, ifunny and i cant seem to turn it off without disabling all notifications. Any one have any ideas how to stop the unread message count without disabling the heads up notifications? Or the name of the badge provider app?

sms notification issues

I am new to the 6p. i am running chroma 6.0.1 unlocked, rooted, xposed, etc.
I have tried both stock messaging and my usual (textra) and both have the same issue. Here is a scenario:
A lot of times ive gotten texts and not known it. I open textra or android messenger and see that there is an unread text. Whats weird is that a lot of times i do notice the icons on my status bar and the led blinking. So, all i can figure is that at a certain point, if the text isnt read, the notification goes away. How do I stop this? I hate opening textra and seeing that there is an unread text from yesterday.
