App Icon Badges not displaying - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

HI Guys
This is my first redmi phone, im used to Samsung phones and icon badges for notifications. The redmi note 4 has never displayed app icon badges to show whatsapp messages or facebook updates. No matter what I do in settings i cannot get them to display, can the phone do it by default or does something special need to be done?
TIA

nobody knows how to get notifications on this phone showing on the app icon?

[Q] Stock email app widget notification

I am looking for a widget for my lock screen which will show unread mail via the stock email app (POP Hotmail accounts)
I have looked on the market and there are loads for gmail but can't seem to find anything for stock.
I have tried missed it! but that does display the correct string.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
I was looking for something similar myself recently and someone pointed out that the stock email icon (not the widget) i.e. long press>shortcuts>applications>Email) has an unread email counter on it and they were right

I think that was me. Glad it helped. Note it works with stock launcher only. Any other launcher just shows the icon.

I've noticed this counter in the app draw and on my main page but how do you add this apply shortcut to the lock screen?
I've tried adding the shortcut in widget locker but it just shows the icon and no counter

Yeah, I do not think that icon will work on any other launcher or screenlock app besides the stock touchwiz. You need to find something else.
The default mail on this phone and maybe android in general is not as good as GMail , that is the reality.

Email notifications

Hi all - first post so i hope it a relatively decent question. Did have a search but couldnt find anything related to this particular issue on this phone.
Im not sure whether this is better in the apps section or the phone specific but thought i would ask here first.
I have an unrooted S2 and i would like to use another Launcher.
My problem is that i cannot seem to find and App or Launcher or anything that can alert me of unread emails.
I have tried 'missed it' and executive assistant but to no avail.
Missed it works for calls and SMS but not email.
I should add that i am not using G mail but using the built in samsung email App with two accounts (1 POP and 1 Exchange).
If i receive an email using the default launcher and open the app drawer there is an email icon which displays the unread count in a red bubble. So if i add this icon to desktop or to the dock i can see unread mails.
If i am using Launcher Pro for example this icon is not in my app drawer or anywhere that i can find it. In stead there is exactly the same icon in the drawer but this does not display the unread count.
I am assuming that this is a semi sansung widget (although i cannot add it to desktop as a widget even in the standard launcher).
I have also tried using the social hub with launcher pro (and Go launcher and ADW) but again i get no notifications.
I still get the notifications in the notification bar no matter what launcher i use but these dissapear after a while.
This is currently the only thing stopping me using a different Launcher and it would be great if anyone had any ways around this.
Unfortunately i cannot and dont really want to forward my emails to Gmail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nath
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Thanks

Try "missed it"
You can put any application notifications on the lockscreen using this as long as its notifications appear in the notification bar.
P.S: Wrong section. Should be in Q&A.

Use missed it. You can configure notifications from any apps to appear in the lockscreen. It will tell you how many facebook instant messages you have, gmail messages, emails, etc. You can configure the way it looks too.
Missed It on google play:

Does Missed It really work for the stock Sony lockscreen?
If it does that would be awesome!

No it doesn't. You must use Widgetlocker or similar.
I think none of the answerers noticed that our asker here meant stock lockscreen.
The stock lockscreen does really lack some functionality...
Also, for me the upcoming calendar event doesn't work at all, annoying since this would be very important for me.
But until there's the stock theme for another launcher I'm not gonna change.
I too, face the same problem. Whatsapp on xperia s also doesnt have badges, unlike their messaging app. Is there a work-around for this? For stock xperia s?

Possible to change the SMS icon from envolope to chat bubble ?

I don't know why the messaging notification icon is a envelope. I keep thinking I have new mail. Is there an easy way to change that?
Thanks,
BR

Probably the easiest is to install a 3rd party SMS app like Go SMS Pro or Handcent.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the icon in a .apk.
If you mean the app icon you could use a launcher like nova,download an icon pack and change any icon you want.

I think he means the notification tray icon. If not... that's what i'm thinking of. Almost never know whether it's an e-mail or text that i received, except that text messages give you that shortcut right on the lockscreen.
Go SMS

Me too. When i use the fingerprintsensor to unlock, no badges. When i unlock it with the power button and my pattern i see the badges. I try it without Nova and Tesla Unlead, also with the huawei software but there are only for whatsapp badges with numbers. I cant add other apps there. No snapchat, no instagram. Perhaps time to use an other launcher.
