SMS messaging apps not showing number of unread messages on widget - General Questions and Answers

I am using a Nexus 5 (with Android marshmallow).
I am having trouble showing the correct number of unread messages on the message widget.
I use Evie launcher instead of the standard Android one because I prefer the extra options offered.
There is a setting in the launcher Unread Badges.
These setting got the phone and email widgets working correctly but the SMS message widget (Texta) now shows 99+ all the time.I tried other message apps and they all show 99+ after install and launch. Texta worked properly after installation but shows 99+ after reboot.
Does anyone know of a SMS Message app that works correctly regarding the widget showing the correct number of unread messages?
Thanks

It is obviously a difficult problem to resolve since no one has replied.
In the meantime I have installed Nova Launcher Prime that has reasonable Unread Badge controls. These options allow the number unread SMS's, unread emails and unanswered phone calls to be shown on the respective icons on the home screen.
With the Nova homescreen launcher I now have my icons working fine.

[Q] Unread count icon for any launcher besides default

Have the RAZR Maxx HD. Stock, fully updated, I've tried:
Holo Launcher Plus, Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher Plus; none of these display a little number on my Text Messaging Icon when I receive an MMS. When I receive SMS, it's fine. But MMS only shows up in the notification bar.
However, the stock launcher updates the count on the icon. Stock launcher problem for me is that it doesn't show a Gmail count on the icon.
Is there some trick to getting the count to update for MMS messages?
Thanks!

Nova Launcher Prime stopped giving Gmail badge notifications

This has been going on for a week now. I use TeslaUnread and I'm getting badge notifications for my messages and missed calls but it stopped putting badges on my Gmail. The settings look correct and the Gmail is set on on TeslaUnread. Any ideas?

SMS notifications and popup no longer working

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.

Notifitacions are gone after I open mail or SMS app?

Hello,
I updated do 8.0 and I have a problem.
Lets say I have unread SMS. There is number on the SMS icon. When I open the SMS app (not the SMS inself, just the app) the number isnt showing any more, and also the SMS text in notification bar is gone. How can I change back like it was used to be?
Thank you!

Notifications and BlueMail

I'm new to Nova and liking it so far but I can't get numerical unread numbers to appear on my BlueMail icon.
The counters appear - and work - for messages and WhatsApp but not for BlueMail.
BlueMail is enabled in the TeslaUnread settings and the App Icon counter is setup correctly in BlueMail Global Settings.
Same problem on both a Moto G6 and a Oneplus 3
Anyone know what I'm missing??
Thanks

I think you need to look in the settings, and find the "permission notifications" item. I had a similar case on another launcher, I did not see the call of the subscriber, I had to look for it through a third service https://ukareacodes.org/ , but it was a long time ago, and I was a layman) It turned out all was much easier

Excellent pointer - thanks.
The launcher needed app permission to get email details.
Now working
