Facebook and Whatsapp NOT showing number of notifications on Icon only in the status bar.

Hi All

I just got a LG G3 2 days ago and straight out of the box it did an update to Lollypop so I cant quote if the issue I have worked on Kitkat.

Anyway the problem I have is Facebook and Whatsapp do NOT show the number of notifications on Icon only in the status bar. Here's a couple of screen captures to show you what I mean.

That's normal with the stock launcher. If you would like to see notification counts on the app icon, you will need to download a different launcher

Im sure it only does this with system apps. Samsungs touchwiz launcher allows for notification counts.
