Next to the app icon when on a home screen using the stock launcher?

Is it supposed to?

 

[this_is_nascar]

Yes, using stock launcher. It's not showing like it's supposed to. Usually the number of unread emails will show in the icon.

Your Moto Z Play Droid did that? The Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid don't.

My Droid Turbo running LP always showed it. My new Moto Z Play Droid running MM does not.

As far as I know the badge icon is not native to the OS. You need a custom launcher or app to do that. Maybe it was a Moto add-on that didn't get passed to future phones.

No, it was stock with my Turbo, but thanks for the reply.

You are correct. It is not native to AOSP/stock Android.

Yes which technically isn't stock Android.

Looks like the Moto Z Play doesn't have it.

I guess I'm confused. Are you saying that on MM, with the OEM launcher, that I should not expect to see the number on unread emails on the GMAIL icon?

I'm saying that the DROID TURBO and Moto Z Play Droid are different phones. "Stock" for one isn't the same as "stock" for the other.

Agreed. I just figured it would be on this new phone.
