like the HTC sense widgets have the sms thing...
Did you not find anything when you searched the Market, Google or xda, prior to asking the question?
no... I'm sorry I did not..
install go launcher ex, then download their SMS widget.
I started using gosms for their widget and now don't use a widget at all but still use gosms.... I feel its much better than the samsung sms program.

hello all
iam looking for application doing same what "ADW Notifier" do, Adding notification bubble up of an application icon has to notify you for incoming event such ( SMS,missed call, email, nimbuzz chat... or any application you per-defined) "look how "Chuck Norriz Mode" working in ADW Notifier.
also need it work with any launcher since ADW one working only with adw launcher .
hope iam understandable and will get help from you guys.
thanks
I was just thinking about the same thing. I would love something like this. Maybe there's even a Tasker solution. The only part I don't know about is how to get the "bubble" on the icon.

I haven't found a universal one but there is a similar app available for GO Launcher EX here
or another option is this live wallpaper I used previously called Notification Bubbles

thank you
i know there is a lot of alternative solutions, but all of them arrest you in there application. the one with Go launcher need you to use Go launcher only. the notification bubbles using all the screen with addition moving bubbles which you don't need sometimes. all what iam looking for is notification counter marriaged with the application shortcut icon use whatever the launcher be.

No problem, by the way you can turn off the additional bubbles. Then the only time you have them on the screen is when theres a notification ... not as much strain on the battery this way.
Good luck with your search
Is there a good gmail widget out there? Similar to the mail widget only through gmail only.
there is in the market but they arent that stable man, ive used nearly all of them and FC's everywhere
Launcher pro(paid version) has a great one. There's even themes and such for it. Plus it has replacements for almost all the normal sense widgets(contacts,bookmarks,facebook,twitter,friendstream), and tons other cool stuff.
Does anybody know of any others? I've been getting really tempted to go adw or go launcher lately, but them not having the widgets keeps me from making either my daily driver.
I think Gmail for LauncherPro doesn't work anymore nor others because google changed their api... or something like that. I've looked for a Gmail notifier so i can see how many emails I have in a bubble above the icon, like the HTC mail icon, but none work anymore.

I have a love hate thing going on with Blur, even the remnants we see in Gingerbread, and have found that the only reason for my continuing to use it is down to the Social Networking widget.
This makes me sound like some kinda facebook and Twitter junkie which I am not really but I do find it handy not to have any notifications and to check out those social sites as and when I want to. The fact I can get the information on one application is handy as well rather than have to log into both apps individually.
So my question....is there a all in one, well facebook and Twitter anyway, widget that does a similar job to the Social Networking widget in Blur ?
Have looked through the Market and nothing leaps out at me.
I used to use Colorized Widget
the only gripe with that is 1) it doesn't work with Launcher Pro
2) I believe to get twitter and fb on one widget you have to get the paid app?
Another is Pure Messenger Widget it's a paid app again.. but it does both
Last, is Launcher Pro Plus. it's launcher alternative.. which has those functions built in. again it's a paid app

yeah LP already comes with widgets. i dont use launcher pro, i would if it were as smooth and had as much options as ADW EX. colerized widgets is nice though, there are another set called ADP widgets i think
Pure Messenger is awesome but its not battery friendly.
Android Pro Widgets and if you use GO Launcher there is an add on for it.

Many thanks for the suggestions.
Seems as though Blur did come up with one good idea for me at least !
I have tried CM7 and other de-blurred ROM's but that little widget is so handy.

It's alright.. the theme of it isn't that appealing to me imo but its functions were great.
I would like to make the notifications stay on my status bar until I actually read the SMS or the e-mail. There are times where I don't have time to read a long e-mail or answer a test at that instant but I would like to be reminded to read it later by leaving the notification on the status bar.
As soon as I open the SMS app or the e-mail or gmail app, the notification goes away.
For bonus points: any way to have the number of unread messages next to the icon in the menu? I found one way to do it for sms but it's a widget and I prefer having my icons on a dock.
Just putting this out there: I would love to have this for Gmail and Google Voice as well.
I'm so sorry for this poor answer but sassibob did a review for an app that let you set reminders in your status bar, in don't remember the name of it tho
Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section

Well IMO setting the notification manually is a better alternative then nothing

Why open the SMS app if you're not going to read it?
Anyway, use GoLauncher or LauncherPro or Launcher 7 if you want a little number next to the SMS app to tell you how many unread messages are present. You can't get this for Gmail because Google axed the API, and you won't find it for Google Voice either as far as I know.
Thanks guys! Will check those out!

On my old phone I used to leave them unread so that the notification was there to remind me to answer them later. LauncherPro did exactly what I wanted! Now if only it did that for the app drawer too...
He actually left one out, adw launcher also leaves the numbers of unread SMS,email, and other stuff, but you must download adw notifier along with the launcher

Adw sucks IMO though, plus you need the launcher plus an addon..

Adw is awesome the addon means nothing it still functions plus adw has more customizations. Lp is great also, but u have to pay for donate to resize widgets, also adw lets u change icons natively

I tried out the ADW notifier and the problem remains that the number goes away as soon as you launch the messages app or e-mail even if you don't open the message. LP wins this battle. Plus, I have a clean home screen so widgets don't apply to me personally
Hi I'm comming from an HTC Inspire 4g running HTC sense 3.5 didn't think I'd miss it as much as I do I really miss the widgets like the Message widget and the mail widget I can't seem to find anything like them on the market can anyone suggest somthing?
Wow
Anybody got anything?
As far as I know, the only Sense type widgets you get on the market are clocks. You cannot run the actual sense widgets without sense. Pretty much bad news if you're looking for the message and mail widgets, you have to get an HTC phone.
I would suggest looking for alternatives and forging a new love for something different or even better.
Yeah I see nothing like them on the android market except clocks and weather widgets I don't understand why someone hasn't copied the message widget or email widget I loved having them on my home screens quick and easy to get to
apw widgets, colorize widgets

Theres Themes bro, and there is a sense one. Just saying
Beautiful Widgets, APW (already mentioned), the Go family of widgets (GoSMS for example), Widgetsoid. Just do a search in the Market. Most are free or free trial.
