Unread Message Count? (SMS & Email) - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that there is no unread message count on the Google Hangouts and stock email app icon. Any way to get this? Or do I have to use a different app.

I'm having the same problem. No unread count on gmail or hangouts. No LED notification either.

I don't recall the there ever being unread counts in stock android. Have to use third party launcher like Nova.

Notifyer+ should work. Issues with it is i don't think it lines up with the new Google Experience Launcher yet. If you are using another launcher you can adjust the height and size of the icon and title to try and match the others on the screen. Works great on most launchers, but haven't tried it on the N5 yet.

[Q] In Dock Notification for K-9, SMS, GV...?

I am looking for a way to have notifications appearing on the dock icons for K-9 (email), SMS (I use GoSMS) and Google Voice Voicemail.
I can't grow fond of the notification bar -- it gets too busy, messy looking for me. So I generally hide it.
But I still want to see message and voice mail counters on my dock icons.
It seems that the stock apps can do it, but I like a unified email app, and use Google Voice for my voicemail. Plus, I like my own icons....
Anyway this can be done (and what is the reason that this feature is not not built into any of these 3rd party apps)?
This works just fine with ADW notifier. Not sure if you need ADW Launcher EX or if the free one will work.

Thanks! This is a good reason to switch to ADW Launcher (even though I was happy with Go Launcher).
ADW Notifier is absolutely great for everything else, but it does not notify of Google Voice messages
Anyone with a solution to GV notifications?

[Q] Looking for a notification app for 4.4.1

So have been using nova launcher with tesla unread. Nova launcher isnt fully ready for kitkat so have just been using stock launcher on my N5. I really miss having an unread count by gmail and now since hangouts is used for texts I would like an unread count there too.
I tried "missed it!" with no luck... unsure on what else might be kitkat compatible.
If someone could give me some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Same here, was just about to start the very same thread lol
I would like to get nice clear notifications on my icon for things like Facebook, Hangouts, individual email accounts, missed calls etc.
Not found anything that really works.

Unread count stock mail

I'm looking for a launcher, app or something that can said me how many unread mail i have in stock email app without. Other option is find an email app with exchange account with this option.
I have tried Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, dashclock with apex launcher and neither works correctly. They do not count the number of unread messages correctly.
Thanks!
You could place an email widget. Dashclock extension should work though.

I think it is the ability of the launcher.
Nova Launcher prime has notification icons for missed notifications for apps.

Need help finding a good notification badge app!!!

Hi All,
My very first post on XDA forums, i have used these forums for great help in the past.
I'm a little stumped at the moment, i am using Dodol Launcher on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop OS, i'm about 90% happy with the whole launcher, just need to know if there's any good notification badge applications out there for Ebay? so when i get notifications in Ebay, the badge app icon with notification count comes up on the homescreen icon? An app which lets me select which apps show homescreen unread badge counts on the icon would be perfect!
Also, is there a good email app which supports multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo etc) all in one, and will combine the unread messages as a badge app count on the homescreen icon?
Any suggestions would help, please don't mention another launcher as i'm quite happy with Dodol at thei stage.
Thanks!
The email app you need is my mail. I use it and it is superb. Takes all accounts plus you get an email account from them which just uses your phone no as a pass word so can only be used on your phone. Makes for really good names. As you put say your name then its just @MY.com. I've Gmail Hotmail etc on it and it takes nova notification badges

Nova Launcher Prime & Unread Counts

I've been using Nova Launcher Prime as my Launcher for years. I've always had issues with Unread badge counts but never posted. I use the built in TeslaUnread for Unread counts. Most of my apps behave accordingly, not all, but most.
The one annoyance I'm having right now is Outlook. I have 2 Outlook apps installed, one from the play store and and internal build. The internal build shows the Unread counts fine. The play store doesn't show any Unread counts. The one from the play store is also the defaulted app in TeslaUnread, the internal build I have is lower in the additional apps section.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve it? I'd also try using MissedIt Unread counts, but I have no idea how to configure that. I've always had issues with that provider.
