Why isn't my phone showing the number of unread messages or text messages I have(Stock) and Gmail?

No counter for unread messages for text messages (Stock) and GMail..

My Droid Maxx is not showing the number of unread messages on the message icon and the GMail icon. I've looked and looked and can't seem to find anything to fix this. I have run in safe mode with still the same problem. I cleared datat and cache on both badger app and message app and did an FDR. After the FDR, I got the counter to come back but then after turning off the phone and charging overnight, I won't come back up again. Thanks for any help in advance.

Have you been able to do this before? It may be a widget, rather than simply adding the app icon to the home screen. Check the widgets and see if there's anything for texts and calls. If there isn't, then you can grab widgets in the Play Store that will do just that.

thanks for the response srkmagnus, but the crazy thing is that all of a sudden the darn unread count worked 2 days ago!!! Out of nowhere!! I did nothing different, it just started working. Of course, turned it off for the night and lost it again. I have been able to see this before and i know its a little thing, but its just so annoying knowing that my phone isn't quite working right.
