home screen notifications

[Android Central Question]

I had a note 4 & loved it.. This one shows notifications like e mail or text on my lockscreen that I am not crazy for...but after I log into my phone there are no notification numbers above the icons on my home screen...I have tried some of the settings but nothing seems to be a fix..

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Not all stock launchers have the unread count badge icon. If yours doesn't, you can install a 3rd party launcher that does support that feature, like Nova.
