disable app badge notifications on non-Samsung devices using stock Android ROM - General Questions and Answers

I was looking for help disabling the app badge notifications for non-Samsung devices. All the searching I have done seems to point at changing launchers. I would like to figure out how to modify the stock rom. What I have tried so far is using ROM Toolbox Pro to disable the 'NotificationBroadcastReceiver' in the 'Advanced Freeze' section on an app that has the app badge notification. The app badge notification went away for a few minutes and then came back. Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated!
NOTE: I was thinking I might have to edit some .smali files of the app in question. If so, I use APK Editor Pro to disassemble APK files right from my device.

What do you mean by 'app badge notifications'? Notifications in system bar, or, for example, the number of unread messages for some messenger app that appears on the desktop?

The red bubble with the number that shows up on some app icons like Facebook, Messages, and even on folders if you have folders set up.

Hm, then I don't know either, my only option would be to change launcher as well.

I'm hoping there is a way to disable them by editing the smali code. I am learning smali now, seems similar to visual basic

[Q] How to modify my notifications from social apps

I have been looking for something that will allow me to edit what my notifications say for privacy from nosy people. I found an app that was called "hide my text - invisible." This app was great for people who use their native SMS app for sending text messages. It allowed me to make my own notification if i receive a text from a certain person. Usually, the notification will scroll the contact's name, and some of the text. This app let me change the notification ticker, text, and the icon, so that if I got a text from a contact, I could change the ticker to read "unread emails." This app is great, however it doesn't work for 3rd party messaging apps, like google voice and text free. I do not have a messaging plan, so I have to use these 3rd party messaging apps. Is there any app, script, or mod that will allow me to have the same exact features of the "hide my text - invisible" app for my 3rd party apps?

Application to add app badges?

Looking for an app that would be able to add app badges to the stock email, calendar and hangsouts app icons while using stock launcher. Ideally looking for the badge to have a count for unread items, but a simple visual indicator only would work as well.

press hold on the icon and let go a little paintbriush will appear hit that and you'll see from there. just put the icon on your phone in a folder so it's easy to find in the gallery app

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
