Signed up to the Facebook beta and I noticed it now uses probably one of the iPhone's more useful features the notification badge. What I didn't realise however is this must be built in to the app and not the system. Just found it odd that more android apps had not decided to use it.

Well, that's actually TouchWiz and not just the app. I have a Galaxy S II running JellyBean 4.1.2 and it makes the same thing but with some other applications

Ahh never realised. That's the first app I've seen use them, without using a different launcher or app to provide the functionality.

Most likely it's from Touchwiz, I haven't seen it on other Android phones.
It's cool to have that visual notification/counter, that way you know how many emails or messages you have.

Biggest feature I missed coming from an iPhone to Note II
