sms display

[dr9911]

on my old simple phone a new text message came in and displayed partially right on the home screen. Without pulling down the top menu.
Can I set it to do this on my Mini?
And a nice display of how many new voice mails I have right on the home screen would be nice too...I have my cellular data turned off but that doesnt affect voicemail and text notification..

Hi, install Smart Notify for SMS on homescreen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuma.smartnotify

I dont like smart notify and I dont want fee beggars either.
I found Handcent and it is excellent and installs itself as the default app as well. Just what I was looking for.
