How to use notification dots ( notification badges ) in...?


Asked by Lauryn Richard on Dec 10, 2021 FAQ



If it is an app folder, the notification dots indicate the presence of notification badges for one or more of the apps inside the folder. You need open the folder to find out the app having unattended notifications. To see the notification, press and hold the (long press) app icon.
Indeed,
These dots appear by default in launcher apps that support them and there's nothing your app needs to do. However, there might be situations in which you don't want the to notification dot to appear or you want to control exactly which notifications to appear there.
In this manner, Notification badges only appear when you receive notifications in an app. For example, if you receive a new SMS message, a notification dot would appear at the top right of the messages app icon as shown below. If it is an app folder, the notification dots indicate the presence of notification badges for one or more of the apps inside the folder.
Thereof,
Starting with 8.0 (API level 26), notification badges (also known as notification dots) appear on a launcher icon when the associated app has an active notification. Users can long-press on the app icon to reveal the notifications (alongside any app shortcuts ), as shown in figure 1.
In respect to this,
To enable notification dots, open up the Settings app and go to Notifications. Once in Notifications, locate and tap the app you want to enable. Once in that app window, tap the slider for Allow notification dot.
