Count for number of missed calls, unread texts, etc?

[helios3]

I come from a Windows Phone, where the phone/text tile will tell you how many missed calls or unread messages you have. I think iOS does this as well.

It doesn't seem to do this on my Moto E at all. There is the notification bar at the top, but I'm looking for something that will show the count on the "main buttons" on the homescreen, like this:



Is this feature not available natively on the Moto E?

This is not a native feature of Android.

I too come from Windows Phone and it seems like a basic missing feature. Is there a widget that does it, or possibly an app that can substitute? I have tried different notification options, but they are all too big and too intrusive--I just want the icon and a count on the lock screen and the homescreen.
