Mail, Facebook, Etc. Notifications

Got my new Nexus 6P.. installed my apps.. I notice that the Badge Icon wont show the total of new notifications like it did with Lollipop..

Is this no longer a feature in Android 6? Or maybe something the app developers need to fix?

It's never been a feature of Android. What device did you have before? I'm guessing Samsung...

To clarify, it's never been a feature of STOCK Android. Samsung added that for certain apps in TouchWiz.

Yes S5.. its a touchwiz thing?

Yup. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) has a notification badge on FB like you showed but my Moto X and now my Nexus 6P don't show the same. It's one of Samsung's "tweaks" to the OS.

You can get an alternate launcher that may enable that, or there's an app that does it but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.
