Question regarding the text message icon

[neolistic]

Does this icon not receive a notification when you receive a text message? I find that the original HTC one with sense has a notification on the text icon each time you receive a text message, but the Google edition does not. Is this some type of oversight on Googles part? In my opinion this is a deal breaker for me if its the case..

It's not so much of an oversight as it is that stock Android just doesn't do that. You do get a notification in the status bar and notification shade, but not on the icon. There are apps and launchers that allow you to add this functionality though.

ok, I guess coming from an iphone I got used to it, was thinking that maybe my rom was messed up. Glad to know its not only me and its just androids way of doing things.
