app notifications... possible to have android leave a notification on the app icon ala iphone?

[eonaxes]

this is for a Nexus 4...

for example if someone texts you, a small notification is left on the task bar. I would like a way to also see a indicator on the messenger app icon itself like how iphone does. Is this possible?
thanks

Nova launcher supports that.
