How do I get my app icon to show notification numbers?

If you want to change badge with number, you can be changed in NOTIFICATION SETTING on the notification panel or Settings > Notifications > App icon badges > Select Show with number.

Why are my app icon badges not showing numbers?

1 Solution settings->notifications-> advanced settings-> app icon badges. Make sure that is on. You can then tap into it for more settings like changing from numbers to a dot.

Why are my app badges not showing numbers iPhone?

The most likely reason that your iPhone badges don't appear to be working relates to notification settings. If you have turned off the badge notifications for an application inadvertently, or the application's default setting is to have badges disabled, you won't receive badge alerts for that application.

Unfortunately you cant achieve this for all android devices.

Certain manufacturers (e.g. Samsung or Sony) have included this functionality into their customised Android launchers. Also some 3rd-party launchers (e.g. Nova Launcher) have included an API to accomplish this.
