How can I set up my Moto G to send me a visual icon or flag when I get a new text message?

I'd like to see a visual icon or flag when I have a new text message on my Moto G

I used to have it with my iPhone. Now if I miss the audio beep, I will not know if I have a new message until I check it out occasionally.
thanks

Should be in the notification area of the status bar (upper left)

The moto g has a led light next to the speaker that blinks when you have a notification. You can access the option in settings->display->Notificatin light.
