notification icon question

[editionfws]

Hey everyone.
I am a very long time BlackBerry user and just picked up a used s3 for a great price.
On the blackberries, when I get a text or message in whatsapp there's always the spark (star notification) on the icon so when I look at my phone, I see the notification and know to check my messages.
Is there anything similar for the s3?

I have a rooted s3 on 4.2.2

Thanks and sorry if this is a dumb quickly question, this is my first android.

With the stock S3, you should see a notification icon in the status bar at the top of the screen. You can set this in the settings menu of each app. If that's not enough, with a $4 investment in the Nova Prime launcher, and a little time spent, you can get more than just a spark, you can get the number of unread items.

Awesome! Both things are good to know. Thanks!

When I moved from my BlackBerry to my galaxy s3, I missed that feature too, nova is really good and I just rely on that now S's I'm un rooted!
