Notifications in Tray for Text Messages?

**jfenton** · 07-22-2012, 09:27 AM

Is there some way to get notifications in the bottom text app that gives a number of how many texts are new when they come in?

Running APEX as a launcher currently if that makes any diiference and the stock messaging app.

Thanks in advance....

ADW notifier (stand alone app) in google play has it also.

I did pay for NOVA a while back...I guess I'll give it another spin.

Thanks,

Thanks,

go to nova settings. Near the bottom click on unread badges and it will prompt you to install an add-on feature. The add-on is free.

I am using the add-on NOVA and I get no notifications at all. It is very frustrating. I am a recent iPhone convert and love pretty much everything about the Android platform, but I am missing the level of notification that the iPhone had. I am sure I am missing something elementary, but until I know what that is, it's like voodoo magic....

If you want the #'s for ALL Apps (not just SMS) you need Nova Launcher & a couple others to set it up.
