[Q] Icon Notifications not showing - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The notifications on my note 3 don't show. They show in the task bar but not on the icon itself. For example FaceBook doesn't show notifications on the icon for when you have missed alerts nor does Words with Friends show it's your turn. This worked on the S3. Is it a limitation to the phone or does something need to be configured? I noticed this with a lot of applications that have push messages.

This happen with all apps or only Facebook?
And what firmware you are using? Stock one?
Can you show some screenshots?

Same problem here, but as far as I have noticed, it only happens to the e-mail (default application). Any suggestions?

Check the app's settings.

Are you using Touchwiz or a third party launcher?

[Q] G-Mail App Not Showing New Updates

The gmail icon on my homescreen never displays the little red number in the corner for unread messages. Is there a way to change this or is there a better e-mail client for gmail?
To get that icon, I believe it came with my Launcher Pro Icon set and there was an option to 'show notifications' or something like that. Do you have Launcher Pro?
The Gmail app doesn't have a widget. A good widget to get that functionality is "Gmail Unread Count" available in the market.
Yes, I am using LauncherPro but it still didn't work after I clicked the notifications.
The Gmail Unread Count did work though, thanks.
Actually if you are referring to the small red ballon in the dock icon (see attached image at bottom) that shows unread Gmails, it is Launcher Pro. You go into preferences then dock settings and click on email notifications. You can also see missed text messages a well! I'm not referring to a widget.

Just wanted to add that this is only for the DOCK icon. I don't think it's applicable to a home screen icon.

[Q ]No email preview on lockscreen?

Does everyone else get previews for unread email on their lockscreen? I get the SMS preview but just the statusbar notification for emails (I'm using the stock email app). Is there some obscure setting for turning this on/off I might have messed with?

Nope... you may need to wait for a firmware update or use another.email app from google play.

Thought I'd figured it out, but no luck. Another option would be to disable the other notification previews (sms and calls) and use DashClock for the notifications instead, but I can't find a way to do this either on the S4 - apparently it's possible on the HTC One...?

Notification issues with CyanogenMod

I've had this problem since 10.1 and it continues on 10.2
In messaging custom notification tone and vibrate settings do not stick at all. They stick in messaging settings but when a SMS arrives it buses the Android default notification tone and default vibration pattern.
In GMail my device vibrates with incoming email although that option isn't checked in GMail settings. Also when I delete a message via the option in the notification itself the device alerts me again via sound and vibrate like a new message is coming in even though i'm deleting a message.
I think there is a bug in CMs notification enhancements that doesn't play well with these two apps.
Anyone else having this or had it and have a cure?

I have the same issue on Cyanogenmod 10.2 for my Galaxy S4. I've been searching for a resolution or someone else with the problem and this the only thread I've been able to find.
What's strange is the notifications seem to work fine at first, but after some time passes I get the annoying alert on delete from notification bar issue. I also want to set my Gmail to not vibrate and have a silent alert tone, but it doesn't want to stick just like you said.
I've also tried stock Android 4.3 as a test and the notifications work fine, so I think this is just a Cyanogenmod issue? Have you had any luck resolving this?
I figured it out. It has to do with the profiles option in cyanogenmod. There's an option for Gmail notifications by default. If you disable profiles, the notification settings in Gmail are followed. Otherwise, they will be overrided by the settings in cyanogenmod profiles.

I'd been fighting this for a week, changing the default messaging app, setting different sounds in all apps. I never thought about the profiles affecting it. Finally, I have control again.

Been annoyed by a similar problem (no notification sounds at all, even when volume was turned up) until I found this thread. Simply disabling all profiles from the CM settings seems to have cleared this up! Thanks for the tip!

Samsung icon "notification"

Look at the picture I attached. I get the number notification over the Facebook icon all the time.
