Messaging icons don't show a number

[AC Question]

I have an Droid Maxx 2. My messaging and gmail icons don't display a number in the corner when I've received a message or e-mail. How do I get that to display?

I've got the Verizon messaging+ app and the standard gmail app (the white envelope with red borders).

Hi, not all apps / devices offer this feature. You could install Nova Launcher and use that?
