Marshmallow 6.0: App Notification Badges / Unread Count ?

[Jnbr19867]

So attached is a phone screen shot i'm going to be referring to.



Does Marshmallow allow the option to show notification badges/unread counter on apps like it shows on the facebook app in the screen shot attached? If it does for all apps, does anyone know how turn on the feature for all apps, because as long as i have owned the phone i've only seen it happen on the facebook app and phone app; i haven't seen it happen on the gmail app, stock messaging app, voicemail app, or any other app.

Or is this just a special setting/feature that 6.0 allows for certain apps only, or is it an LG feature on the phone?

It is allowed for all apps, but it is up to the app to do it.
The app needs to support the counters, and the app needs to get the count either by push or pull of the data.

The only way I know of getting them into multiple apps is by using Nova Launchers tesla unread extention, of which I use.

This drove me nuts too after I upgraded my phone to a Motorola Droid Turbo 2. I'm not sure if this works for the LG, but it does on the Turbo 2.

1. Tap and hold on the home screen until the screen management console comes up.
2. Tap settings.
3. Turn on "Keep Count."

Now you should see the number of messages badge in Gmail and Messages. Hope it works for you.
