Notification badge icon not working on Samsung Galaxy S9

[OrganizedChaos]

For those who didn't use smart switch, this won't work, right?

Not sure. But it is worth a try and simple to do.

Same situation here. Used smart switch from my s7 edge to s9+.  I tried everything here to no avail. Uninstalled smart switch, restarted phone, and app badges are sporadically working (picks and chooses when it wants to be accurate/work). Incoming text preview still not working. Will not be using any type of backup/cloning software to avoid this issue in the future.

It's not the backup / cloning feature. It won't work anyway you do it. There is a bug in the system itself.

>>I found the problem for me. The icons created by Smart Switch on the homepage don't accept the number. Remove that icon and replace with icon from your apps. Fixed the problem for me. Popups not needed.<<

So you're saying to delete the apps that Smart Switch transferred over (ie: Facebook) and then reinstall it from the app store or somewhere else ?

This doesn't solve anything!

The following worked for me :

Open settings, open apps. , hit the 3 dot menu, hit spec. access, hit Samsung experience,  turn the toggle to on.

Again - that only adds badges but doesn't fix the unread message count in the badges. Somehow I think this is a Google problem but it doesn't hurt to pressure Samsung as a customer. They pull more weight with Google than we can.

Tried this one but didn't work on me.
