A
Android Central Question
I hate notifications always popping up on my screen but I love badges on my messaging app icons. Badges are way less distracting and allow me to "pull" my notifications rather than have them "pushed". I used to do this fine on Nougat but the new badges on Oreo force you to have notifications turned on if you want badges. Is there a way to have badges but not notifications? If not, what a narrow-minded design regression.
