Hey everyone
My girlfriend just came over from and iPhone to the S4. I got her the new Hangouts update, but she's having issues with the lack of a notification badge when looking at the app on either the home screen or app drawer (this functionality is in the default messages app for the S4 as well as what she was used to on the iPhone). I brought her over to Hangouts because of what it can do, but she won't use it if she doesn't know that there's a new message (she's not used to the notification bar) and would instead stick to the sms only messages app.
Does anybody have either a short or long term fix to bring notification badges to the Hangouts app?
Thanks in advance

most apps put notifications in the notification bar - IMO, the notification bar is superior to anything the iPhone does. Even with a PIN Lock, I can see icons telling me i have notificationas and which kind - SMS, IM, eMail, Skype, etc. All have their own icon, so for me this works better then a single notification app.
Most apps, have their own settings to allow notifications.
I too was looking for this, but now prefer the notification bar system. The popups are annoying, and only useful when using the phone if at all.
Handscent SMS has popups and quick reply if you really want to try that.
Im also using apps the nag me that their is a notification. Handscent does this, and im still dealing with how to do it for calendar. TouchWiz and Google's calendar apps really lack the features.
I jailbroke my phone mainly for notification bar icons. I want to know if i get something without having to swipe to unlock and then enter a PIN. I should be able to see that stuff from the lock screen.
try NoLED from the market place. It's free and pretty useful. When your phone is in sleep mode, it will show an icon of whatever notification you get (e.g. a mail icon for message, or cassette for voicemail)
It also keeps the background black to save battery! Very customizable, and I highly recommend it
[Q] How do you disable scrolling sms notifications in the notification bar.
I specifically have the Atrix if it matters but have a friend that needs ot done as well and I am unsure of their phone. I have checked the settings tons and couldn't find anything. Is there an app that allows me to still use the stock sms application but just disable the scrolling notification?
I do wish to still keep the envelope just not the scrolling text.
Don't know about the Atrix, but on the Samsung stock messaging app, open the app>settings>notifications>untick.

If I turn of the notifications within the stock app it removes the envelope as well. I would llike to keep that if possible so I have some sort of notification I have a message but without it previewing the message with the scrolling text
Hi guys, i was using a stock samsung galaxy S2 android and moved into something brilliant and way better ( Pure ICS ROM)
there is only 1 thing i miss from the touchwiz Galaxy s2, and it is the notification icon that you get when an SMS is received or when a phone call is received and you miss it.
I am talking about the red circle that popups on the lockscreen on stock samsung galaxy S2 for unread SMS and missed calls.
I would like to know if there is an app or apk that could bring that SMS/phone notification icon on the lockscreen once again. That was way nice to see if i missed a call clicking just 1 button.
The only thing that came close to that is an app called notifier pro plus, that creates a banner on the lockscreen, but it has some flaws, because sometimes you are using web browser and doing other things and the banner popups not only on the lockscreen but everywhere
nobody?
In ICS, the notification bar can be pulled down on the lockscreen, so you don't need them to show on the lockscreen. Just pull down your notifications.

You can buy widget locker and use any widgets on lockscreen

I have been searching around for a solution of the above question myself, and found that everyone keeps saying to use the notification bar etc - not really helpful, and doesn't answer the question
I found a free lock screen app called 91Locker which will display a notification for unread messages and missed calls on the lock screen, plus a few other nifty features
Hope this helps anyone else that comes this issue
Lockscreen notifications
Hi.
Nicolas from Productigeeky here, creator of NotifierPro.
You may want to try our last app LockerPro, it is a lockscreen replacement with stacking notifications.
Regards.
Hey all, when I get an SMS with hangouts and I read it the notification doesnt go away. The only way to remove it is by swiping it away.
This can't be normal. How is everyone else behavior?
Yeah, good question! I'm having to keep swiping also! Plus, I miss the SMS unread count!

Same issue, switched to Handcent but can't use Lightfloe so going back.
I have the same issue. You have to go back into the home screen (list of all the people that you texted) of the hangouts app in order for the notification to get cleared. Really annoying...I installed Textra and am loving it so far.
This needs to have more attention brought to it. How could a messaging app miss such basic functionality that it can't clear its notification when a text is read but not swiped back to the main messages screen? It's really annoying having a persistent notification for a message I've already read.
Suffer the same problem myself.. have to hit the notification and go back into the messages screen to get it to clear..
Hey guys,
So my phone ran a bunch of app updates last night (including one to ChompSMS, my default text app) and now I'm not getting the little popup window or notification icons (on the status bar). I've tried uninstalling Chomp and clearing its data (and the stock SMS app's data) and using the default messaging app with the same result. I tried using another text app (Textra) and that didn't work either. Gmail notifications still work (that's the only email app I use).
One thing I'll note is that sometimes when I have a couple text messages the notification icons will appear only after I go into Chomp and open one of the new messages. It only seems to work when I have multiple unread messages.
I'm running MOAR 5.0. Any suggestions? no problems with this (or anything) until now. I'd prefer not to do a reset or restore since I spent a lot of time customizing things.
Update: seems Verizon Messaging had an update that messed with the notifications for other text apps. Notifications for Verizon Messaging still worked when enabled. I had been using it for group messages, but now that ChompSMS has it I've just frozen Verizon Messaging. Everything is back to normal now.
