App Notification Settings Help

[Smokey596]

Hello!

I am trying to set up my new S7 and having a bit of trouble getting my app notification settings the way I want them.

For example, Facebook. I do not want to receive a notification in the notification bar/area of the phone nor a sound or light or anything. But I would like notifications to show on my Facebook shortcut icon.

This is how I had it working on my S5, but I can't seem to replicate it on the S7. This would apply to other apps as well (Twitter, games, etc.).

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Turn off notifications in Facebook.

But I would like notifications to show on my Facebook shortcut icon.

That depends on the launcher. You may have to use a launcher that does badging instead of TouchWiz. Just turn badging on, then set it to badge Facebook if it doesn't add Facebook automatically.

This is how I had it working on my S5, but I can't seem to replicate it on the S7.

Different versions of TouchWiz work differently.

This would apply to other apps as well (Twitter, games, etc.).

The same thing. Turn off their notifications, and turn on badging in the launcher for those apps.
