    Default Displaying number on emails on Gmail icon

    So coming from a blackberry...is there any way of displaying the number of unread emails on your mail icon on your home screen?

    Not on the icon itself as far as I am aware. Only the notification section at the top of the screen mentiones how many and a brief overview of the latest one.

    There coooouuulllld be an app to sort this out, but I have never looked for it.

    Search Play Store for 'gmail widget".

    For future reference, these "live" icons (clocks, weather, task lists, etc) are called widgets.

    You could use Nova Launcher Prime or Apex Pro. They both will display unread email, sms, and a few others.
