I installed the most recent update this morning & no app badges to inform me that there are unread messages for apps (such as Facebook, email, text messages, etc).
Things tried:
1) Restarted the phone (several times), the obvious go-to resolution, nothing changed.
2) Samsung Experience was already enabled, turned off, rebooted phone, nothing changed.
3) Enabled Samsung Experience, restarted phone, nothing changed.
4) Settings, Notifications, App Icon Badges was already enabled, disabled, restarted phone, no change,
5) Settings, Notifications, enabled App Icon Badges again, restarted phone, no change,
6) Settings, Notifications, tapped the words "App Icon Badges", it was already enabled to "show with number".
Finally got sick & tired of looking & wasting my time. My sister users the new Pixel phone & had to install "Notifyer" third party app to provide an unread counter for apps.
Good Luck everyone!
