Badge notifications

[cb2367]

Prior to the update, I had a few badge notifications in certain apps. After the oreo update, the badge notifications increased.

After a quick search, it seems the only way to disable them is by purchasing an app in the play store specifically designed to get rid of the notifications. I assume root access would also accomplish this. Are these the only methods?

You can also use a different launcher. Not sure if the S8 has it, but the S9 has a setting to disable those as well.
