[Q] Message Notifications on Docked Email Icon - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to have a numerical notification for unread messages like the iPhone or WM phones have? On both the others there is an email icon at the bottom that will show a number on it with the number of unread messages in the inbox. Can this be done in some format on the Captivate either with the stock shell or Android or with an add on app? All I get now is a small generic notification on the top info bar for new emails, but no details. Thanks.

Assuming you are using TouchWiz, then since the icon bar at the bottom will only accept applications, and not widgets: not with TouchWiz. I can't speak for anything else.
I use gmail, and it's notifications tell me how many I have, so again I can't speak to the default email client.

If you use LauncherPro (free in the market) as a replacement launcher then there is the option to show the number of missed calls, unread texts and unread emails (gmail only) on the corresponding dock icons.

Thanks. I am new to Android and still using TouchWiz and have not yet had a chance to arrange for third party apps. I will try LauncherPro when I can.

You can use SMS unread count widget (free) and that will give you one for sms, email and missed call.
Wahoo I could finally help being and android noob lol

Launcher Pro ??? Gmail

Has anyone got the stock email app to work with Launcher Pro, meaning I can check my emails, and I can have it notify me of an email in the notification bar, but I cannot get it to post the number of unread email in green like it use to do on the envelope. Now I know some of you will say download the unread Gmail app, but when you do that and open the emails it does not open it in the stock app, which is what I want as it shows the full email body and replies like the web base one, I have also put the red Gmail icon in the dock station and set the settings to notify on the dock station and works fine, but I want the stock email to do that either on the home screen or the dock, any suggestions anyone
Under Preferences / Dock Settings there is an option to display Unread Gmail Count
I is checked marked but does not work with the native app

[Q] ADW Notifier, LPP, & GoSMSPro

Hey guys,
Up until today I was using the stock messenging app. I use LPP and custom icons in the dock, and used ADW notfier to show me unread counts on the icons in the dock.
It worked flawlessly with the stock messenging app, but it's not working with GoSMSPro for some reason.
To be make it clearer... I added the messenging app to the LPP dock, then picked my own icon (text based, from the Generation X icon .psd template), and set the stock messenging app as the app to be used in ADW notifier. This worked.
Now I have set GoSMSpro as the shortcut on my dock, same custom Icon, and went into ADW notifier and set GoSMSPro as the app.
That doesn't work. It shows the count on the notification icon in the notification bar up top, but not on the LPP shortcut. I already tried the Chuck Norris mode, and put GoSMSPro on the whitelist, still no luck...
Anybody have ADW Notfier or a similar app working for GoSMSPro launcher shortcuts?
If anyone has ADW Notifier working, please let me know how.
If you have another app working for that, please let me know which app.
Thanks!
Sorry....but ADW Notifier has been a bit of a mystery for me. Got it to work briefly on my K-9 email icon but when I flashed to a different ROM it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it going again.
Am watching responses to your question to see if I can get some insight.
doesnt work for me either, so i stopped trying to get it work
it used to work only after i "changed" the color of the popup (i.e. click change but use the same color as it was before) but now that doesnt work either. hope somebody can tell me how to fix it. Until then, I've uninstalled it so that it doesnt run as a service
It still works on my custom icons on the launcher dock for missed calls and e-mails (Gmail app), just not with GoSMSPro it seems... I wonder if it's not supported or what..
i think.. GoSMSpro has its own service. I uninstalled ADWnotifier and GoSMSpro has its own notification bubble, not neither phone nor gmail does now.. haha
I noticed that in the notification bar (when i unhide it) it shows a count over the icon up there, but not on my dock icon... This if frustrating. I also disabled the SMS part of ADW to try recreate what you saw, but it still won't show.
Where are you seeing the count now? On a dock icon? shortcut on homescreen? Thanks!
on the dock over the GoSMSpro icon
I just opted to delete ADW and go with Go Launcher and now everything is fine.
Does the GoLauncher also show the unread count for missed calls and e-mails the same way?
OK, I use the widgets I paid for in LPP so GoLauncher is not an option. The main reason I'm using GoSMS is for the "theming." I'm using black theming throughout my phone with red accents to cut down on screen drain, and it just looks awesome. My keyboard is themed the same way, and I hated the way the stock messanging app chat looks, with the blue and green. Is there any way to change that? I looked through the phone files a little bit but can't find the pictures that draw the chat bubbles. And If I found them I wouldn't know how to change the font color... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I use go SMS pro as well but I use SMS unread count and have no issues with it working with go SMS pro
I tried that, but SMS Unread only works on a widget you create, I'd like for it to show the count on my launcher dock icon/shortcut.
It seems that ADW.Notifier just isn't compatible with GoSMSPro... Because I even tried putting a shortcut to GoSMSPro on my homescreen, and with it in the whitelist with Norriz mode on it still doesn't provide the count.
This is why I now just want to change the theming of the stock messaging apps chat bubbles. Theming and customizing the look is the only thing that draws me to GoSMS, but if using it interferes with my homescreen look/functionality I don't want to use it.
Found somebody who is going to theme the chat bubbles of the stock messaging.apk. Will give me the look I'd like and functioning dock icon notifications.
Thanks for your time guys!

Call, SMS and Gmail, WhatsApp notification?

Hello I'm searching for an app oder widget, which shows me the number of missing calls and messages in different symbols. On my old phone I used the GO Laucher EX and the notification plug-in. Now on the Nexus S, I want to use the stock launcher but I miss the notification function a lot. Is there a working alternative in the big android market?

I'm using go launcher ex + go launcher ex notification
try MissedIt!
I don't like using extra launchers, I have Nova launcher and LOVE IT! And Missedit doesn't really add an icon, just puts it on the lockscreen which is not what I was looking for. I want it more like iOS where it shows a bubble with unread number.

i have a problem about 3rd party notification badge, not show above icon

i use huawei p9-al10 Chinese version with emui 4.1, i always use line messenger, facebook messenger. when have a new notification, those icon not show badge of notification. how to fix it ?
I don't get icon notification for any other apps apart for messages, missed calls and email.
Sent from my EVA-L09 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Try with Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread. The stock launcher does not support unread counts for a lot of apps.
Is there any way to use standard launcher and to use TeslaUnread or similar app?
