I just updated to Oreo and noticed that now when I dismiss a Notification the badge from that app goes away too...
In the previous version this didn't happen, anyone knows how to avoid the badge from the app disappearing?
Thanks!

You can't stop it from happening unfortunately. Your other option is to install nova launcher and use tesla unread counter app, which is from the same guys.

I was also wondering if there is a workaround for this.
To be honest, this is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in a software update, now if you put the notifications to silent for - let's say- Facebook, you will never get the badges on on the app icon.
In Secure Folder, it is the same, which defeats the purpose of the secure folder (hiding notifications), so when I enter secure folder, now I have to check each app for conversations or messages or any other notifications they might have.
Samsung should provide the option to unlink "clearing notifications from the panel clears the badges", and also silencing and app notification doesn't prevent it from having badges.
Nova launcher, it works, but the tesla is inconsistent.

While this may be an "upgrade" to people with stock android, it's more of a downgrade to people who've already experienced the app badges before Oreo. The main reason I am/was a fan of app badges is so that my notifications can be turned off and I'll see I have notifications based on the app badge. I hope Samsung will at least add the possibility of choosing to show app badges for apps that are put to silent in a future update. Right now they just seem pretty pointless.

I totally agree with you, and t is the same reason why I am a fan of that.
Let's hope that Samsung can add an option to make it just like before.

I just think it's a backwards move and if they're so adamant of it at least give the option to allow unread badges even if notification is swiped away

I really dislike this change and am considering returning my Galaxy S9 because of it. There's a thread over on the Samsung forum about this as well if you want to subscribe to that one to keep track of this issue.
Galaxy-S9-Questions-and-Answers/Notification-badge-icon-not-working-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S9/m-p/288959#M52
I'm glad I found a forum on this issue...
This definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction. I liked that I would get new notifications in the top panel and if I swiped them away, the badge Icon would still show that I had an un-opened message. This was very useful because in situations where I was doing something and I couldn't check the new message right away, I would clear them because I still wanted to see if any other new notifications would come in after, the badge Icon would remind me to check later, if i forgot, when I had time to view or reply to that message.
This feature needs to be added back asap, it should be extremely simple for them to implement and it should be an option anyways for us to link or un-link the notification panel with the app badge icon.
Keep this forum going!
This is simply ridiculous! Gone from an almost perfect touchwiz to nova launcher ... i'm really upset.
For a lot of users Nova Launcher with Tesla Unread also has an issue with unread badges. Particularly with the Gmail app, but also with the native Samsung email app. See the recent reviews for the app on Google Play.
If you contact Tesla Coil (developers of Nova/TeslaUnread) they will send you an updated apk to side load. This didn't resolve the issue for me but YMMV.
But at least they are working on it. But i really liked the touchwiz look. Mainly the folders aspect not reproduced by nova.

While installing the updates they will show the small animation when you swipe the notifications the bagde will get clear.. before installing also in the changelog it is mentioned.
You should read the changelog first...
It is the way oreo notification's are implemented.. nothing samsung has done wrong here..

I had the same issue with not working numeric badges, but thanks to this thread I've found Tesla Unread has been updated yesterday in Google Play so installed and so far so good. Samsung Email and Hangouts badges are being shown properly.

Thanks Mike. TU Ver 5.1.0 still not working for me. Have cleared caches, uninstalled/reinstalled (twice), etc. etc. Still have persistent unread badge stuck on Gmail app, even though I have read/deleted emails.
Turning badges off/back on in TU does clear unread badges temporarily, but problem re-occurs when new emails arrive.

Not sure if it applies to your problem but all the permissions have been set properly?
TU - Settings/Apps/Special Access/Notification Access - Allow
Then confirm permissions within TU settings for selected applications.

handcent??
short answer: no.
hand cent and other messaging apps just read the messages out of the stock app.
if you remove it then you won't get any messages. but nandroid and try it, don't take my word for it
You can turn off all notifications in the stock app and use handcent. It will show up in your app drawer but other than that it's like it's not there.
im getting 2 notifications on my device. i desable the notification on the stock app but still shows up.

If you have everything turned off in the stock app then yea, it's beautiful widgets giving you that notification.
How does one change the 4 apps assigned at the bottom?
[phone, contacts, messaging, applications]
My brother downloaded Handcent and wants messaging to go to Handcent not the stock app.
Thanks

Change the ****ty TouchWiz interface
You cannot. The Epic4G has an older version of TouchWiz and does not allow it.
I recommend you install "AWD Launcher" or "LauncherPro". Both support that feature.
That's....lame...but alright thanks for the suggestion.

I'd suggest downloading ADW, lots of settings and you can get it to look like TouchWiz also.
An additional thing to consider, AMOLED screens suffer from "Burn-in". The most likely place it will happen is the status bar since it is always displayed. These other launchers have a setting that allows you to hide it (status bar), which will help.
Technically it would be more accurate to call it "Burn-out" but the burn-in term is carried over from CRT displays. The issue has a similar result. You will see a ghost of items that are on the screen for long periods.
Just download Handcent. When you hit the messaging icon at the bottom it will ask you if you want to use the stock app or Handcent (then you can check - remember this choice). Now whenever you hit the SMS icon (it will still appear to be the same...). It will open Handcent.

Tried it. Didn't work. Doesn't prompt me to select SMS client of choice. I even went into Application Mgmt and deselected Messenger as default. No go.
Any advice? Handcent is...er' was my fave SMS client.
Same thing happened to me. Handcent was the first app I downloaded, always use it, and I was never asked to choose a default.
Sad news on another front: The pre-release, advocate and seed devices were supposed to get the full version of Asphalt 5, and when I finally got around to downloading it today, it was the demo. I'm slightly miffed.
So Im pretty sure that this goes in this forum if not im so sorry lol. Anyways I had just rooted my phone and what not and I have moved away from the stock texting app to the textra app. I LOVE TEXTRA! There is only one really really really annoying thing about it though. When I get a text from someone I have multiple notification icons in my notification bar if it is from more than one person. Is there anyway to fix this? For example I could have like 50 text with the stock messaging app but only one notification icon up top. If I have 50 text in textra ill have 50 notification icons up to. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not 100% sure if I get what you're saying, but I would say try disabling the stock messenger app, if you want the 50 notifications. If you only want one notif. for all the texts like the stock messenger I'd say look around in the Textra settings. hope I helped
Open up the stock messaging app, go to settings, uncheck "notifications". Then you'll only get notifications via your other messaging app.

As you can see in the picture, I have 4 text messages and 4 separate notification icons in my status bar telling me I have a text from each individual person. If I were using a stock messaging app however, It would only appear as one notification icon in my status bar. Is there anyway to fix this? I hope this clears up some confusion
I think that would be how the app is designed correct me if im wrong though email the dev?

I am using apex launcher and the icon pack is tendere
I really want to like Textra, but there's another annoying feature.
If you're on a call and you get a text, if your notification is set to vibrate, your phone will vibrate in your ear as you're talking.
I've emailed the dev and he said he might fix it.
Hi
I'm using CM12.1 on SM-N910F.
I just want to show notification badges on differents applications like Facebook, SMS and Gmail.
I read on forums Trebuchet might be the problem and to fix it, I installed Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread but the problem is not fixed !
Do you know how can I fix it ?
Thanks for your work
Make sure you've activated Tesla under Nova and then restart the launcher. Don't use Facebook, but SMS and gmail badges work for me, I'm not on CM though but not sure how that matters.

TeslaUnread is activated on my notification access. I had also checked TeslaUnread configuration and I checked all programs. Finally, I restart my phone and nothing changed.
I don't know where is the mistake !
I meant make sure to activate it here.

Oh dear lord! But glad you've sorted the issue
I've searched a bit under the S7 edge specific threads here, and I haven't seen anyone else mention this. For some reason, I have no unread notification badges on top of my app icons.
One of the first things I did when I got the phone was to change from the Touchwiz launcher to the Google Now launcher. Is this the culprit? If so, is there any way to rectify it without 3rd party permission-hungry apps?

That would be why. Not sure with Google Now Launcher, but Nova has its own separate program to handle this.
Hmm... so I slapped on the Nova Launcher and the Tesla Unread and I configured Tesla Unread on things like Gmail, Messenger, Phone... and no joy. In the setup area of Tesla Unread I can see my unread Gmail messages in parenthesis, but it doesn't plop it on the icon.
I tried doing a clear data of BadgeProvider, then a force stop... and finally a reboot.
Should I just wipe this thing and start over???

Did you grant TeslaUnread notification access.? Go to unread count badge>teslaunread settings>then in should prompt you to grant notification access.
Nova Prime with Tesla Unread is working flawlessly for me, +1 on the notification permissions, probably.
OK, found it.
Nova Settings
Unread count badges <- Nova Prime only
So, my badges are $5. Didn't realize that was part of the pay bit of Nova Launcher.
