How to see notification count on pinned apps?

[AC Question]

My wife has just received a new Nexus 6P running Marshmallow 6.0. I'm stumped to see how I can change settings so that she can see the number of unread posts, missed calls, messages etc on her pinned apps.

When she had her Sony Xperia Z running KitKat 4.4 it use to show a number on the pinned app for these notifications. With Marshmallow 6.0 I can get a notification on the lock screen but nothing shows on the pinned app.

Can this be changed?

Thanks Adam

Install an unread badge app.

Install an unread badge app.

Which one?

Do you have a 6p with working unread badges?

I don't have a 6p but I remember one of ambassadors saying that it worked. I will forward this thread to the ambassadors, a number of whom have the 6p,and hopefully one of them can help you.

Awesome thanks, I've tried a few ways with Nova, tesla unread and stock and can't get it to work.
