Is there anyway to get the number of notifications to show on each app on the home screen a la iPhone and Blackberry?
the email and sms app does it, but no other, can this be changed to show on facebook, twitter, gmail etc??

I have a custom slider that opens the inbox of a specific email account. If I make the slider using the email app then it brings me to a screen which has all of the day's calendar events and a link at the top for "all inboxes" with an unread count. In order to go directly to an inbox I have it opening a Shortcut rather than the email app itself which does what I want but I can't get an unread count on it the icon. I have the ADW Notifier app installed and the SMS part works just fine. Am I missing something?
I'm using WidgetLocker with ADWNotifier too, but i couldn't make it show counts for calls/emails. Works fine for sms unread count only. Don't know what's wrong as i set it correctly.
I'm having trouble with Handcent and notifications - namely double notifications with the stock Messaging app (even when everything is checked off in the ATT app) and then the Handcent app can't wake the phone, just makes the alert sound, of which there's two separate notice sounds.
ALSO, no red dot notification on the HC widget using Go Launcher EX with Go Notification installed. Any ideas?
just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications...... i had to do it, and had to do it with gosms.
yes.. go into default messaging text app click menu,,scroll to bottom and disable notifications......then in handcent click menu>Applications setting> Default Messaging application >Allow All Sms & Mms ,for default..
Hello,
I just recently got the GS3(not rooted, stock everything) and was wondering if the apps located on the bottom taskbar and also the apps shortcuts located on the lock screen can be replaced with a widget? The reason I ask is because of the stock messaging app. The one good feature about this app is that on the lock screen it'll let you know how many unread messages you have by showing a number on the icon for the app. However, I'm not a fan of the app itself(regarding how it interprets picture messages) therefore I've installed GO SMS which was my messaging app from my old Incredible. Unfortunately if you replace the stock messaging app with the GO SMS app on the bottom taskbar and lock screen it will not show how many missed messages you have on the GO SMS icon. However, if you just place the GO SMS widget on any screen the widget will show how many missed messages you have. I've tried all options I can think of but when you drag a widget down to the taskbar it won't go in like the app would nor do I have the option of putting a widget on the lock screen(settings/lock screen/lock screen options/shortcuts). Any suggestions or would this require a root?
Thanks
not in the stock launcher or lockscreen.
you can use Nova and widget locker
Hi Friends,
I have HTC ONE M8 AT&T phone. Whatsapp does not show notification badges. Also, email shows notification badge but when I get into the email and come out without reading email, the notification badge is gone though there are still unread messages. Can someone help fix this please.
Thanks & Regards,

If you are referring to the little number on the icon on the home screen... then there's nothing to fix. It's working as designed.
That isn't actually a stock android feature. HTC (and Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc) customizes their home screen launcher to display unread count "badges" for the apps that are built in (email, messages, etc), but couldn't possibly do so for other 3rd party apps. In the case of email, the badge clears when you go into the app regardless of the number of unread messages. (It's more of a "you have this many unread since you last opened the app.)
If you want more functionality, you could use a different launcher (such as Nova Launcher) and a plugin (telsaunread) that supports more badges. I have no idea if "Whatsapp" is supported by nova/telsaunread, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out.
Edit: I just checked and nova launcher with teslaunread does explicitly support whatsapp.

Hi,
I also have a problem with my Icons on the top left-hand corner of the screen on my HTC One M8...
I have just launched the new Update "Sense 6.0" and now I can't see the Icons of WhatsApp, SMS, E-mails. etc. on the top left-hand corner of the screen, when the screen of my phone is locked (when I get a new message).
Do you know how I can turn it back on ?

I want to have a sidebar on my theme with phone, email, chrome, text etc but I want to have the icon just be text.. so "Phone" "Text" and so on.
I am assuming I have to just make widgets with the text and then link the button press to the app. How can i get badge counts on these like if I have 3 unread emails 2 missed calls just like the regular badge counts on the graphic icons.
I am on a s7 edge and running nova launcher.
