Count for Gmail icon

[speedfreek64]

I use the Samsung email app for my yahoo mail & use gmail. The Samsung icon shows a count of unread emails but the gmail icon doesn't. I looked in settings and notifications are on & I do get notification in the notification drop down.

Is there a way to get the gmail icon to show an unread count?

Which launcher are you using? Maybe that has an affect. I believe with Nova Prime, you need Telsa Unread for it to work 'properly'...

On touch whiz at least, I have issues getting any notifications at all. I have since changed to the stock app which doesn't drain as much battery and shows notifications

I'm using the App called Mailbox from Dropbox and it shows the count. Besides it's one of the best email programs out there.

None of mine show the badge. Not even messages.

I'm on touch wiz. I've used Nova in the past & even tried it on my Note 5 but I kinda like touch wiz. I use Textra for texts and I get unread counts for it too. Just not for the gmail icon

There's an Unread Badge (for Gmail) in the app store. That's what I used before switching to Nova Prime.
