[Q] whatsapp badge counter

olivertan92 said:

Was having dinner with a mate. He has a galaxy s 4. 4.4.2 kit kat

I'm using a note 3 4.4.2 kit kat as well but I do not have whatsapp counter. Is there anything I can flash to make the counter appear? Tried notify er. Is there anything else I can do?

It's a new feature in the latest whatsapp update. Don't you people read the update info before you click it?

What's New
2.11.238
add option to group mute dialog to show/hide notifications
add option to delete media files when deleting media messages
add unread count badges for Samsung devices (recreate your homescreen icon if it is not working)
fixes to allow more audio attachments
add Slovenian and Azerbaijani translations

I suggest you update Whatsapp. Mine showed up right away, but if not, re-add the icon.

Are you using stock TouchWiz launcher?

That counter works in TouchWiz if app supports it since it's TouchWiz feature. I use Nova launcher and don't have that counter (Because it works ONLY in TouchWiz, If I'm right)

And In Nova with TeslaUnread for Nova Launcher.
But without any 3rd party notifier app that badges count work only on TouchWiz if app have that feature + permissions

Apps with

Code:

<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE" />

permissions most probably have badges count
