New Message Count Not Updating

[Kostya Vasilyev]

The magic reinstall

[SurfMan]

Just thought I'd mention it here: there is no "new mail counter badge" on the home screen (the 4 icons at the bottom) on Android Marshmallow. I am using a Huawei Nexus 6P. That phone uses stock Android. No crapware from any vendor on there.

Unless I have missed a setting, but I don't believe I did. The Samsung S4 I had before this phone showed it without messing around with the settings.

Yes, this is correct, you missed nothing.

Quoting the FAQ:

Unread message counter on the app's icon (badge)

Android provides no way to do this that’s 1) standard 2) accessible to third party apps.

And yet, AquaMail does this on recent Sony, Samsung and LG devices, in the manufacturer’s standard launcher, by using unofficial, undocumented functions intended for apps built into the system.

Please see app settings under “message notifications”.

There are two more options:

– Using AquaMail’s “message counter” widget.

The widget has four visual themes and can be configured to “point to” a specific account or a folder. You can find it in the same place as all other widgets (this differs between Android 2.* and 3-4.*, there are plenty of tutorials on the Internet if you need one).

– Switching to a third party launcher that has this capability.

Aqua supports: Apex Launcher Pro (you will need to enable “External notifiers” in its settings, under Advanced), Nova Launcher Prime (you’ll need to install Tesla Unread, no other configuration is necessary), Smart Launcher 2 (you’ll need to install Smart Launcher Notifications).

Right, I see. I read something along the same lines, badges and stuff, on an Android forum. Ah well, I think I prefer the stock Android and get used to the notification area to tell me about it.

Thanks for making a great app!
