Unread Notification Badge Counter - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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?

[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.

Launchers

Is there a launcher out there that gives me these features.
Besides the features Nova and Apex offer I'm looking for more options. Go Launchers offers some unread badges but you cant enable it in accessible settings on 4.2.2.
Unread notifiers. Unread badge on all apps installed on my device.
Apex has external notifiers but they don't work at all. The dev said u need to have the other app dev change there API. What a mess.
Nova only does gmail,sms,calls.
I need Kik, whats app, gmail,sms,phone call.
I was able to use nova and missed it and get what ever I wanted for unread badges but since I use a pebble the pebble notifier app takes over the missed it and it dont give me unread badges anymore.
SO is there a launcher that works with other apps for unread badges? Yes i need unread badges.
BUMP
If you want unread notifications and you're not particular about it being badges.. You can try out dash clock or minimalistic text widget..

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?

Missing phone call or Email indactor

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!

No Facebook notifications count after updating to Oreo

Hello,
I used to get facebook notifications count at the Facebook App , but after updatig to android oreo I don't get any notifications count above the application
Anyone having the same issue?
Up
Try to delete and reinstall the app. It might have some bugs.
Alternatively, if this is a general issue, it might be fixed with the next app update.

With oreo there is now a new way notification are dealt with, badge count will only appear if you haven't swiped away the notification, as soon as you do that your badge count will disappear from icon, bit backwards of you ask me which is why I use nova prime launcher with tesla unread uncounted to get around this.
