When I first got this phone, the SMS icon on the first page would show if i have an unread text (eg. shows 1 on the icon). I have since installed Calkulin's rom and pro launcher as my launcher program. The icon no longer shows how many unread texts I have. I think it may have to do with the fact that I probably accidentally deleted the default sms icon and had to add it back by adding the application (messaging) to the dock bar. No matter what I try though it won't show how many unread I have now.
It may be important to note that if I go to touchwiz launcher, it will still show the unread count. Both launcher ex and launcher pro will not.
Has anyone encountered this? It's kind of annoying since it's an important feature. Thanks for any help.
You should search the Launcher Pro forums and FAQ. I stopped using that Launcher but there are ways. As you said, it works with Touchwiz, so the problem is how you've set up Launcher Pro.

Are there e-mail apps that show a little "1" next to the icon when you have 1 new e-mail?
The default e-mail app doesn't seem to do this.
I've placed it in the dock. My textmessage icon however does show a 1 when I have a new text.
Launcher Pro dock does this, or add a SMS Unread Count widget.

Hm I'm using Launcherpro and like I said it does work for my texts but not for my e-mails. Do I have to turn it on somewhere?
Ah my bad, I was thinking Gmail not Email.
Enhanced Email from the market supposedly does it but it aint cheap !!
ADW
ADW launcher and then ADW notifier. Both work a treat for me.
Hi Everyone,
I have a problem, Im using the Stock ROM, I have not used any other rom, and I want to put a better launcher with one that has a working notifier using the stock EMAIL app, Im not using K9, because it does not work with my domain exchange.
So I have loaded Go launcher EX, and there is no alert for my email showing how many unread emails I have.
I have tried LAuncherPRO, ADW launcher, SPB Shell and few others, anyone have a suggestion on how I can put my email app on the bottom bar of any launcher (except stock cause it doesent offer email button on the bottom bar) showing how many unread emails there are.
I've searched this and other forums but have not been able to find a satisfactory answer as of yet. I'd like to know whether or not it's possible to put a widget in the dock bar. I am rooted, running the latest AOKP ROM and Nova Launcher. What I wanted to do was to use the widget Unread SMS, and replace my messaging icon with it so I get the unread messages # ala iPhone, but alas, I don't think it's possible to put a widget in the dock bar. Anyone?
Much thanks!
No, it is not possible.

If I read that right, you want to know how many Unread SMS you have through the same icon that will, if clicked, launch the SMS app, yes?
If so, you could try using Go Launcher EX with the Notifications add-on. It gives you unread SMS count, missed calls, and unread emails too, I believe.
Search for "Go Launcher EX Notification" - this is the add-on.
Thanks guys. I actually did use Go Launcher EX with Notification on a previous device, however since moving on to the GNEX I am loving Nova Launcher. I'm not sure I want to go back to GO just for this one feature. Perhaps.... I don't know how GO functions on the GNEX, but on my old Galaxy II it was a bit of a battery hog.
Well whaddaya know... I searched Google for "Nova Launcher unread SMS count" and got a link to XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21493784#post21493784
Enjoy!

Awesome find!!! I didn't think ADW Notifier would work as a stand-alone app any more than GO Notification doesn't work without GO Launcher EX installed. You 'da man!! Thanks for this find. Installed, turned on Accessibility, tested, and working!
My first satisfied customer!!
You're welcome. I'm happy I could help.
I'm using nova launcher, need a little help here, i turn on the accessibility, select sms apps and phone apps, but just cant get it work, any hints?
I got the Nova launcher from Google play store. However I'm unable to see the number of missed calls, unread messages above the small icons on the home screen. I then downloaded the Tesla Unread application and enabled the required options to display the unread count. I did the same in the Nova launcher setting too. It still isn't working. Any idea why?
Regards

Check in your display settings then look for some toggles for notifications.
Actually never mind I got confused between display notification toggles on a different phone xD try doing a full wipe of data/cache/dalvik make sure you have a backup of course.
i think you need nova launcher prime,if u already have it,then try to restart the launcher/phone
Ever since a day or so after getting my pixel 3 xl, the count icon that appears as a badge above all apps which I have this functionality, shows just a blank dot, and no number in them.
So for example I can't see how many unread emails I have from the Gmail app icon... Same with any other so that should show a "count" over the icon.
I've read that a cache partition wipe solved this issue for some Galaxy phones but our phone doesn't allow for this particular to be wiped as it is sure managed or something...
ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS WITHOUT HARD RESETTING?
OR is there any kind of full backup software that will save my apps, settings, and home screen setup?
What launcher are you using? if it is the default Pixel launcher, there is no count badge present. it only shows the notification dots. The Samsung Launcher, unlike the Google Launcher, shows the count.
To fix this, you may want to use a different launcher - Nova Launcher paired with TeslaUnread will give you the functionality you are looking for.
This is absolutely not true. My wife has the exact same phone and hers has a number in the bubble advice her text message app (and every other app with notifications) which show the number of unread text messages she has.
Mine just shows a bubble (dot. See the Facebook icon in the screen shot.)

I have never had a number on the dot using the pixel launcher. The only way I have is by using Nova launcher

No man, it absolutely is true. The default launcher with the Pixel 3 does not have numbers, only colored dots. That's it. Download a Home Switcher app on her phone and see what launcher she's currently using.
