Hello xda community,
Recently I have jumped back from iPhone to android and decided to buy mate 10 pro - I have been loving it so far. There is only one issue I can't fix no matter what:
Notification badges (count) doesn't appear on 2 email apps I use: on Inbox and on Outlook.
I have tried everything. I have set power options so that these applications have all permissions, I have checked the in-app settings to see if everything is enabled there, I have checked that notifications are enabled for all emails within the apps and I have long pressed the home screen, went under notification Badge app icons and have set Badge display mode to Unread message and gave that permission to all apps.
After doing all that, notification badges appear on messaging app, SMS app, Dialer - but not on my two emailing apps.
Is there any trick I'm missing here. I work with two email accounts alot, so if anyone could help me resolve, or tell me if the badges work for them would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Leafberry
The first suggestion I'd make is that you amalgamate all of your mail accounts into K-9 Mail and forget about the double-handling.
I can tell you that the badges work with K-9 Mail, though if there are more than 9 unread messages, the badge will be a single white dot in the centre of the badge background. Is this what you're experiencing with Inbox and Outlook, or are there simply no badges applied to the icons whatsoever?
I haven't tried either Outlook or Inbox on my Mate 10 Pro but I'm currently using this email app which I have been using it since I had my iPhone 5s and it works great. I'm running over 10 email accounts within the app and it's been great so far.
And regards to your problem, the badge works fine for it as now I have 31 of unread emails.
I can't post a link as I'm a new member but you can try to download the app Play Store. The app is in Beta stage:
Email - Fast & Secure mail for Gmail Outlook & more (Beta)

Hi Folks,
I have been using an iPhone 3G till now and just made the switch to Android. Just received my Atrix today and spent time getting familiar with Android/Motoblur and setting things up.
Now, I am really confused between these three apps
1. Email
2. Messaging
3. Gmail
From the time I've spend playing around, I know that Email and Messaging look pretty much the same, except that messaging also has text messages. So why do we have these two separate apps? Then there is Gmail. If I have a gmail account, should I add it to the Motoblur accounts or set it up with the Gmail app? Why are there so many overlapping apps?
Basically all I want is a single app where I can check all my emails from different accounts just like iPhone's native email app.
Please be easy on me as I am an android newbie Thanks in advance!
- Gmail is Google's gmail app that supports multiple gmail accounts
- Email is Moto's email app that supports different types of email accounts (integrated with MotoBlur)
- Messaging is Moto's text and MMS app

"Messaging" actually integrates texts, GMail, and the MotoBlur Email client. There is also a "Text Messaging" app that just handles texts. If you use the "Messaging" widget, you can even get FB messages on it.
Oops, I stand corrected. Was thinking about the captivate's Messaging.

To answer your other question, if you want to use the Moto "Messaging" with Universal Inbox then all you have to do is go to Accounts and select Google at the bottom and deselect "Sync Email" and then just setup your Gmail through Moto's Email client and you can get all your emails (just once) in the universal inbox. If you use both then you will receive redundant notifications for your Gmail.
Doesn't matter if I use the email or messaging icon on my home screen I still can't see how many unread emails I have. Yes gmail work's fine using either the 'gmail unread count' or Zeam Launcher (or even GO Launcher EX). However my yahoo accounts (of which you can only see one unless using the stupid messaging app which doesn't show gmail but does show texts, I presume idea was to have a one stop shop for messaging but then left out gmail!) refuse to show on the icon like it did on my Desire.
Any ideas (aside from rooting).
Is it just my View or is the stock mail app messed up. I have a shortcut to the mail app on the home screen. When I get a new email the notifier tells me and the mail icon on the home screen has a number on showing the number of new emails. I tap the mail icon and open the mail app and instead of showing the messages, it says no mail. I have to open the mail app and then tell it to refresh on order to see the email that the app notifier has told me that I have. Is this how the stock mail app is normally?
Are you using gmail or some other mail provider?
Sent from my HTC EVO View. 7" of 4g fury!
It is a pop 3 account with the mail app. My gmail works great.
Mail app is fine on my end. Exchange, yahoo, hotmail accounts. Mail icon pops up on the notification bar, open the mail app the emails are sitting in the respective inboxes. Do you have auto download messages checked in the settings?
Yes it is set to auto download and I have the peak and off peak download time set tot he same. I also tried checking the Refresh on open but that didn't help either. I removed my pop account and set it up again and that didn't help either. I don't know what is going on with it.

wow does that mean you got the exchange calendars to work!!!
jiggered if i can.. i am about to give up..
it upgraded (nice of it) the other night and low and behold no calandar now... well no calandar in exchange..
I was wondering if there was a way to not clear the notification count when the app is opened or the notifications bar is cleared. This is annoying as I like to always see how many unread messages I have even after I go into the app. I have looked for alternatives and the best I can find is maildroid (I have 2 gmail accounts and an exchange 2010 account). Maildroid has it's issues though and I prefer the HTC Sense Mail app.
Hi,
I'm new to Android. I'm looking for a theme that has a mail unread count for Gmail, and also has a mail unread count for my corporate email account (exchange). It seems that the themes only have one field for email, are their any that have two, so I can see my unread counts for both accounts?
thanks.

Unfortunately not yet, however icon notifications will still work. We are looking into this feature for future builds.
I've been debating trying out themer instaed of Nova so thanks for this. It seems to still be a a bit more limited than Nova.

You will still encounter the same issue with Nova, as it's using the Zooper Widget app to display notifications. It is limited in terms of features, however these will all be included soon.
