On devices from LG, Samsung and HTC is common to see in certain apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. Messages and icons that tell you how many unread messages there.
I wonder if the Droid Turbo has it too, and if so, what the app responsible for controlling the badge?
no it doesnt have badge notifications, but theres an app for that.
I think there is on the default launcher.
Yes, the default launcher has badges but not for all apps. Email, calendar, missed calls, and the stock SMS all work....its called Badger in apps.

New to XDA here, I have a Nexus One and don't seem to get any notifications on my facebook saying that ive been commented or added. The only was i find out is when i get an email.. I've tried searching threads for this same question, But there was alot of them and didn't seem to find what i was looking for. Can someone help me out or does anyone else have this problem?
The Facebook app (default one anyway) only supports Messages, Pokes, Friend Requests and Event invites.
If you're only using that, then as far as I know these are the only events you'll get notifications for.
Someone may well correct the errors above shortly though
Ok... So for example if someone writes on my wall that won't be something that the default facebook app on my Nexus will notify me about...???
Not sure about anyone else, but I do not receive any sort of notification in the tray on my NexusOne when Facebook events occur. It would be nice if a little blue FB logo would pop up in the tray with some sort of badge to notify you of the # of notifications you have... but Facebook has no love for Android and our FB app is far behind that of the iPhone (for example).
fb tells me when i have messages in the tray. you have to have facebook sync enabled under settings>account and sync>auto-sync enable for facebook.
probably have to change notification settings within the fb app as well
I am on CM7 on my Milestone and have the SMS/launcher apps locked in memory (although I uninstalled the stock sms to just use handcent) and I am sick of missing messages to the point I have got in trouble because of missing messages.
What else can I do to stop this problem?
Just today I tried texting myself a number (quick way to get info to the phone and never even got the message.
I have been in the application settings and watched it randomly restart which I believe would miss any messages at that time. Since I heard before when either the SMS app or Laucher is loading that any messages will be lost.
Try using the default messaging apk inside CM7 Milestone. As Handcent uses much more RAM compared to the default one. Also, try minimizing widgets on your homescreen, and other apps that constantly run in the background (i.e. antivirus, CPU/RAM/system monitors, social networking apps, etc.)
I will think about trying the stock again but I remember it as being pretty basic.
I have no widgets at all and Facebook sync turned off only other app I know that runs in the background is my voice caller id, which I can't live without.
Hello. I Completely switched to GO sms and GO launcher pro, so I was wondering if I could freeze the messaging app and the adw app. If so, which messaging app do i freeze? There's two and i dont want to mess with any settings.
/system/app/mms.apk <-- stock messaging apk if you freeze won't be able to send picture messages but sms will still send. Better alternative is just disable any notifications.
/system/app/vzwsms.apk <-- don't freeze this or can't send anything
/system/app/org.adw.launcher-1.apk <-- adw launcher

I think it's the other way around that you can't receive mms but you can send. Least that was my problem when I did.
Turn off notifications
Can't you just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications? It sounds to me like that's what you want, but I may be wrong
Go SMS had an option to handle sol SMS/mms functions if the stock SMS app is uninstalled. Idk how good it works. Gosms also should disable stock notifications.
Honestly, you could uninstall adw. Just don't do a fact reset. You'll have no launcher. Iirc.

If you're meaning Samsung's own email app (looks like an envelope with an @ over the front), then it should get a badge by default, IF you setup the software.
I actually don't know of a way to turn that off, outside of just not having it auto sync, so the only time the software deals with emails is when you manually check it, while the software is open. In which case you'd never actually see a badge.
If your talking about the GMAIL app... I don't 'think' it gets a badge by default. I could be wrong... I actually find the stock samsung email app a bit better than gmail, cause you can create/edit folders, and the signature options are far greater. AND the fact they finally added push notifications to it (which was the main reason I used the gmail app in the first place).
Yes its the Samsung mail app I currently have Gmail and yahoo synced to it bit do not get any badges ....

@Ragnarkov is correct. The stock mail app will show badges if you set up an account with it. The Gmail app does not unless you use a 3rd party launcher like Nova.
Lol that's the problem both of my note 3 doesn't show the badges like the message app does

Are you running the stock TW ui? Or an aftermarket UI like Nova or Apex?
The only other thing I could suggest is do a factory reset, and if your still having the issue, take it and get a replacement. If after a reset, on stock TW UI, its not showing the badge, who knows what else software-wise could be screwing up in the device?
I know for a fact it SHOULD be working, and on mine it does. Sounds like some software glitch to me.
Hope you figure it out soon though!
My gmail deliveries show up on the stock email badge. Love how the email app here allows combining the inboxes of both.

I have a stock, Sprint HTC One M7 running Android 5.0.2 & HTC Sense 6.0.
Has anyone had the problem where a 3rd party messaging app (Google Messenger, Pulse, etc.) is not storing and providing notifications of incoming messages? Almost daily, I have instances where people will send me a text, and I get no notification from the 3rd party app. If I go into HTC Messages, I do see those texts, but again they are not storing in the 3rd party app. I do not have HTC Messages set as the default app.
I did communicate with one developer and he thinks the HTC Messages is not writing properly to the internal database. I'm guessing other messaging apps pick up the messages from a single database, then show a notification? I'm still stock, so I can't disable HTC Messages.
Any suggestions to solve this?
Thanks for your time,
Eric
