Heya and thanks for a very good app! Been using this a long time now, but now the last months I'v had some problems.

The problem is that I have made it to count all unseen snapchats I have, but it only says "1" even if I have for example 5 unseen snaps. An example, when I get a snapchat my missed it! widget then tells me I have 1 unseen snapchat, but then I get one more snapchat but nothing happens on the widget, it stills says 1.


This worked well earlier, but now I can't get it to work as it should

Please help

In Missed It!, edit the entry for Snapchat and check the "multiple events behaviour" property. Surely you will have it selected to "use as new counter value". Try changing it to "count all events". Maybe in some Snapchat update the developers changed how the number of unread messages are reported.

@igece: Approx. 2 years ago you've mentioned that you are planning to support Exchange accounts in the future. Should this work in the meantime? Basically I'm asking because it doesn't work for me. :) When I select Add -> E-Mail Account, the popup list contains only my private IMAP mail account but not my company's Exchange account.

TIA!

So based on this post, Exchange support is not in this app? It isn't working on my Note 3, and I'm a bit frustrated as I read through the entire description on the store including the Samsung disclaimers and there isn't any mention of the lack of exchange support - which makes me hope that maybe I'm missing something.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Bizarre. No sooner had I posted this did I look down and see a (12) badge on my Email app for Exchange. It cleared as soon as I opened the app, though, despite having the various settings set to not do that. Better than nothing, but I would still very much like to see official exchange support added in rather than Application monitoring. It's not a true unread count for exchange, rather just a "unacknowledged notification" count. I like to use the badges to remind me of emails in need of reply or some form of action. If I need to do something after reading an email I mark it as unread. It's an odd behavior, I know, but it works for me. Thanks for the help.

Sorry, just saw your reply, but I figured out why it didn't work. I only monitor Missed calls and Unread messages. Calls work on tap, but messages don't because it "Can't find SMS app". When I replaced "Unread messages" with Applications->Hangouts, it worked fine. For now I am just going to use that, but just so you know why this problem occurred.

Thanks.

I realize this was an older post, but I just experienced a similar problem on 4.4 - had Textra selected as my default SMS, and missed messages wouldn't register in the counter. If I changed the default SMS to stock android messaging, it picked them up. I made sure the listening events was checked, but no go. I had to add Textra as a monitored app and delete the missed messages entry and it started working. Calls and gmails worked fine.

When receiving the COUNTERS_STATUS intent I keep getting OUTPUT = "1 missed call" and COUNT = null for MISSED_CALLS. I'm requesting counter status on ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETE. The call was made before rebooting. So after rebooting I expect COUNT to be 1 but it's null.

Am I missing something?

I just tested it and I'm receiving the expected result (COUNT = 1 and correct OUTPUT string for this value). Could you send me a log, please?

Hi, sorry for bothering you! I got it in the meantime. I used the wrong bundle :-/

Whilst you are here: Could you please tell me how to get the default SMS and dialer app? Programmatically? I've searched the whole internet but couldn't find anything. I need to know the current SMS/Dialer app for me to be able to find the shortcut on the homescreen. Currently I'm using hardcoded "com.google.android.dialer" for testing but especially with SMS apps in KK I need another way to find the app (or rather componentname) dynamically. I got everything else working (apps, gmail, ...).

Hi @igece, I need your help again. I got the badges pretty much done. I only have a little issue and I need your help with that. How can you determine the default dialer app? I used the following code which worked for me but doesn't seem to work for all devices. Beta users reported that the missedit widgets actually showed the right count.

Dialer
Code:
ResolveInfo mInfo = pm.resolveActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL), 0);
I then use "mInfo.activityInfo.packageName" to get the packagename which is the only thing I need. I tried several other things but no dice. The above works for me but not for another user with a Sony G Play Edition device. I tried other things like ACTION_CALL and ACTION_CALL_BUTTON but it would only reply "android" instead of the actual dialer app which in my and his case is "com.google.android.dialer".

Also what do you use for SMS app? I use
Code:
Intent smsIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
smsIntent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
ResolveInfo mInfo = pm.resolveActivity(smsIntent, 0);
but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go. At least it works on both devices.

One more thing. When I receive a GMail notification I always send a request counters intent because only using this I get the bundle of all added email accounts. This way I can add up all notification counts for Gmail and put the final number as a batch on the icon. It's working great but I wanted your feedback if you think this is good practise or not. With the usual Gmail intent I only get one number for one account, using request stats I get all account information.

Can you tell me how you determine the default app? I would appreciate your help and I'm pretty certain you'll see a little peek in your Dev Console once the new version is released. Maybe you already saw one since launching the beta yesterday.

I wrote an Xposed module for GNL and am adding notification badges to it using the information provided by MissedIt! :good:

Just purchased, and all seems to make sense - great app!

One quick question though, I cannot seem to get Touchdown HD email client to register any notifications. I have got MissedIt! setup for notification access, and Touchdown HD setup as a shared element application (default values).
Any guidance would be appreciated - thanks
Updated... problem self resolved somehow

open app on click

I like this app but one feature is missing and rendering it useless for me. I need to be able to open the app (handcent sms, calls, whatever) when I press the part of the widget, EVEN if there are no notifications available.

Also, I would like it to say "none" instead of "no" for how many notifications I have.

Hello,
i'm using Missed It with XGELS on Google Now launcher (Nexus 5 stock rooted), and the number of unread notifications on applications icons noticed is always double than real one. (except if only one unread)
Do you also have this problem ?

In fact, when there is only one unread notification, the number shown on application's icon is correct (1), but as soon as there is a second unread notification, the number shown is double (4), and for the next notifications, it's alway double than real number...

(Sorry for my bad english :eek: )

To explain better :

Here is the home screen with unread numbers on icons

or :

G+ with only 4 notifications vs 11 the home icon...

or

Gmail with only 2 emails vs 3 on the home icon...

Hi. I am a rom developer for android based Nokia X, Xplus and XL. We have serious problems about X Platforms notification system. Our phones havent got a regular notification drawer and also default launcher doesnt able to show new notifications. The only way to see new notifications is open fastlane screen. For this reaseon, most of Nokia X based phones users need to use an third party launcher and notification system. For example I am using nova launcher and this app for solution.

I have a request from youç Can you build a special version of missed it (fully functional) for NokiaX platform for custom roms? We will support your work with donations (on xda or Play Store) I will wait reply from you? Thanks.

Have you tried changing the counter method?

I instead have another problem: I am using missed it with xgels as well on GEL launcher, but after installing the new version from Lollipop, missed it stopped working

    MissedIt!
    Text-based notification widget for missed calls/SMS/e-mails/apps

    Link to the app on Google Play

    Get information about the number of missed calls, unread SMS, unread e-mail messages and notifications from virtually any application a glance with this simple yet very customizable widget. You can use it with any lockscreen replacement app to access all this information without need to unlock your phone.

    Missed It! must be enabled as an Accessibility Service to be able to receive application notifications ('Settings » Accessibility » Accessibility services'). If enabled and application notifications not detected, try disabling and then re-enabling.


    Requirements
    • Android version 2.2 and up.

    Features

    • Reports number of missed calls, unread SMS and pending voicemails.
    • If you use Gmail or K-9 Mail, you can obtain the number of unread messages of each account individually. In the case of Gmail, you can also select which label to monitor.
    • Also reports notifications from any application that uses the notification bar to report events (including WhatsApp, Tweetdeck, e-mail clients, etc).
    • Customization of font and background color and transparency. Also font faces (can use fonts stored in external SD card) and styles (bold, italic, underline).
    • Customization of the layout (alignments, margins, etc).
    • Text messages can be customized to show whatever phrase you want.
    • Represent numbers as text.
    • Resizable widget on ICS. With previous Android versions, there are multiple widget sizes available (user can select which sizes appears in widget list).

    -- PERMISSIONS USED --

    READ_PHONE_STATE, to get the voicemail state.
    CALL_PHONE, to directly call to voicemail if there is any pending message.

    Hi all,

    Missed It! has no received any update in weeks, but that not means I'm not working on it. I plan to release a new update (v3) before Christmas, featuring some important changes:

    • Totally redesigned interface.
    • Support for multiple widgets, each of them with its custom configuration settings.
    • Better support to configure Accessibility Settings and detect configuration problems.

    Also, the format for the output string will change. Until now, each monitored item used two different parameters/placeholders, one for the number of notifications and another for the description string ([param] and [param_str]). From now, there will be only one placeholder [param] for each monitored item. In the singular and plural forms editboxes, you will be able to enter different variables that will be replaced with their corresponding values.

    As an example, for monitoring missed calls now you will use one placeholder [calls] and in it's configuration, the singular will look something similar to 'You have %c missed call' and the plural to 'You have %c missed calls'. When any of these string is displayed, the %c variable will be replaced with the current number of missed calls.

    I think this change will add more flexibility when configuring each monitored element, an also the readability of the custom output string (removing too much [...] [...] items from it), but I need your opinions about this.

    And at last (but not least), I've started to use the collaborative tool Crowdin.net to help with translations. If you are interested, you can join at http://crowdin.net/project/missed-it and help in the translation of the application to your language.

    Please, how do I fix this? I already set parameters, I thought, I just can't figure out how to make it work (it worked before the update).

    Open the program settings
    Select - Output format
    Select - Accounts
    If you see nothing, hit the hard menu key and add your account(s)
    Select the account and click on parameter
    Remember this value or change it to something unique (example: Account1)

    Go back once

    Select - Customize

    Now use the accounts value instead of mails

    EXAMPLE:
    [Account1] [Account1_str] instead of [mails][mails_str]

    EXAMPLE FOR 2 ACCOUNTS
    [Account1] [Account1_str] [nl] [Account2] [Account2_str]

    I have found those 2 photo's on missedIt! market page,and i have a question:

    Hey dude. The first one is my screenshot. I use Beautiful Widgets 1x1 weather, then I have added Simi Folder with custom icon. The toggles are Extended Controls widget. Just put enough columns on Widgetlocker and those widgets side by side.

    Ok, I've uploaded the app again and now all seems to be ok.

    Was a problem with the generated .apk. Sorry for the inconveniences.
