Why don't my text messages show up on the home screen?

[Android Central Question]

On other phones (including galaxy S3 S5), when I got a text message my text message icon would show a 1 on top of it. when I got another message, it would show 2. That way I would know I got text messages. Nothing shows up on the icon now so if I get a text message and miss the notification, I don't know it.

Do you use a 3rd party launcher?
