Notifyer Unread Count

Tom Pratt

About this app

Now you can receive all your app notifications right on the app icons themselves, just like the iPhone. Perfect for apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and any other apps receiving important notifications. New messages, missed calls, friendship requests and more are all displayed.


Notifyer works by using 1x1 homescreen widgets to replace regular app icons. Using widgets means they can update in real time showing your latest notifications.


To move Notifyer widgets to the dock at the bottom of the screen you must be using a launcher which allows widgets to be placed in the dock (e.g. Nova Launcher)

Ratings and reviews

It sort of does what it's supposed to. It will display the number of pending messages on whatever app you are using it for (email, messages, etc...) which is great. But if you have multiple emails, open one and leave the others as unread it will clear ALL dot notifications. To be clear, it doesn't mark the emails as read in the app, but it removes the red dot with the numbers completely, even if there are remaining unread emails or messages. This app is about a 50% solution.

Very disappointed. My phone had recently been updated to Android 5.0.1 but, despite following the instructions and changing combinations of settings on both the widgets and the app, the red circles do not show. I tried to contact Cornwall Solutions on three occasions, via the given email address, but received no reply. I eventually gave up and uninstalled this app. March 2026. Big improvement, it now shows the red circles generated by the Nova Settings so it's now really useful.

Took a lot of time to get it working on an OPPO Find X9 Pro, but it finally works now, although I do not know why it did not work in the first place. Afterwards it seems that he OPPO itself also can show badge numbers, but Notifier goes a step further by eg. showing in the WhatsApp icon the profile photo of the person who has sent the message.
