How do I show the number of of SMS notifications?

[AC Question]

SMS Notification and Number of SMS

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to a new phone which has KITKAT. Earlier when I used JB, I did uncheck the notifications for the MESSAGING app, but when i open the phone I can see the number of SMS's that I have received. Whereas now when I do the same, I do not get any numbers on the app which used to show earlier.

Hope someone can throw some light on the issue. Thanks in advance.

Re: SMS Notification and Number of SMS

When you were using JellyBean, were you by chance using a custom Launcher that would provide a counter/notifier for SMS/Mail/etc..? Also, were you using the default SMS app?
