notifications icons issue

[Salman6]

Hello everyone,

I am new to android. I am having an issue with my LG Nexus 4.
The issue is when i get an email or texts it only shows them on notifications bar, but not on the messaging or email icons.

For example
if I got 3 texts from different people, it will only shows them on the notification bar, but it does not show the little numbers on the messaging icons.

It?s the same happening with my emails.
I am using standard Nexus4 apps, I haven?t downloaded anything.
My software is android 4.2.1.
Could you please assist?

That is the way it is supposed to work.

There are some launchers you can get that will do this. Launcher Pro being one of them.

no of message on icon is a feature of iPhone. its not available to android by default. you can use launcher like Nova or Apex to have that feature.
