Notificstion (Red Bagdes/bubble) - Google Pixel XL

[Clutchwow]

Need some help with my Google Pixel XL, specifically with regards to notifications. I can't for the life of me find a way to turn on the red badges for notifications and can't seem to find anything related to it online. The red badges I'm referring to are the little red bubbles in the top right of the app frame showing you how many, for example, emails you received on the app. Not sure if this is not a feature of the Google Pixel XL or I'm just too dumb and can't locate this option . Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance :laugh:

Nexus and Pixel don't have that feature on Stock Firmware so there's obviously no option in the settings for that.

You either have use a - I have no tip cause I don't need those counters - third party app or maybe some xposed module thingy after rooting the device when it is available.

Nova launcher has an option for unread notification count.

Try adding the widget for your mail app to the home screen. The default icon do not have the count badges, but most of the widgets do. I use both NINE and BlueMail and this is the only way I got the badges to work.

Try Nova Launcher Beta, it can be set up exactly the same as stock pixel launcher plus the addition of unread count bubbles. You will need the beta version which can be signed up to within the regular app if you want the swipe up to enter app drawer feature.

I use Nova + Tesla Unread, though displays incorrect counts occasionally.

Well... This ain't iOS lol. Just jk jk. You meant notification badges, as the guys above said you may need another launcher. Still don't know why you would want that. Androids notifications are 1000000000x better than ios anyways.
