Are there e-mail apps that show a little "1" next to the icon when you have 1 new e-mail?
The default e-mail app doesn't seem to do this.
I've placed it in the dock. My textmessage icon however does show a 1 when I have a new text.
Launcher Pro dock does this, or add a SMS Unread Count widget.

Hm I'm using Launcherpro and like I said it does work for my texts but not for my e-mails. Do I have to turn it on somewhere?
Ah my bad, I was thinking Gmail not Email.
Enhanced Email from the market supposedly does it but it aint cheap !!
ADW
ADW launcher and then ADW notifier. Both work a treat for me.
I don't get it.
I am using widget locker and have a slider with SMS on the left, Phone in the middle and the stock email on the right.
I've setup adw notifier to include missed call/sms and email counts.
I receive the sms and phone ones, but it will NOT work with the stock email.
If I were doing gmail, it works.
I can't figure this out.
Does anyone else have this issue pop up?
I can't get ADW notifier to work with anything, Gmail, Messaging, or Missed Calls. Needless to say my widget locker tabs are missing them too.
Hey Guys
Just wanted to know is there anyway to get the little bubble on top of the Gmail app? Similar to the Email app, it has a number displayed above it which tells you how many emails you have before going into the app, but Gmail lacks that for some reason.
Any ideas?
i'm using Tesla Unread, but it requires Nova Launcher or WidgetLocker.

Anyone have any issues with Nova? I tried installing it but every time I clicked on my gmail widget, the phone would revert back to touchwiz.
Is there anything more to it then search and install?
I got the Nova launcher from Google play store. However I'm unable to see the number of missed calls, unread messages above the small icons on the home screen. I then downloaded the Tesla Unread application and enabled the required options to display the unread count. I did the same in the Nova launcher setting too. It still isn't working. Any idea why?

Check in your display settings then look for some toggles for notifications.
Actually never mind I got confused between display notification toggles on a different phone xD try doing a full wipe of data/cache/dalvik make sure you have a backup of course.
i think you need nova launcher prime,if u already have it,then try to restart the launcher/phone
Late to the party and just got a Mate 20x! Am currently running EMUI 9.0.0.208 in case there's still stability problems with 9.1.
Just about everything is working except numeric notifications of unread Gmail messages on the homescreen Gmail icon badge. Gmail doesn't appear in settings->notifications->app icon badges or settings->notifications (badge management). I've tried to make sure everything relevant was enabled in settings->apps->apps->gmail->notifications management and in the Gmail app itself.
Gmail emails are being pushed to the phone, and notifications appear immediately on the lock screen and the top notifications bar so the problem just seems to be displaying the unread emails count on the Gmail icon badge.
I understand that the Gmail icon badge displaying numeric notifications is not supported by EMUI but Nova Launcher (non-Prime) and MIcrosoft Launcher didn't seem to make any difference to the Gmail icon badge unless I've missed a setup option.
Can I have some feedback on what launchers are able to enable (unread emails) numeric notifications on the Gmail badge in a Mate 20x?
Many thanks!
John
Hi John,
From what I've read, there are 2 Methods:
1. Method 1: Stock Launcher
- Pinch on the home screen to edit > tap settings > Badge app icons > Badge display mode > Unread messages. (Source)
2. Method 2: Nova Launcher/3rd Party App
- Instal Nova Launcher or Notifyer app (Source)

Thanks! But I've already set the Badge display mode to Unread messages (unfortunately Gmail is not listed underneath among the supported apps).
Have also tried Nova Launcher (non-Prime) and Microsoft Launcher. Can you confirm these actually enabled numeric notifications on the Gmail icon badge on a Mate 20x? Perhaps I missed a setting ...

Thanks!!! Notifyer looks great but recent reviews on the Play Store don't inspire confidence ...
Guess Notifyer will need gmail credentials of all my accounts, or can it work on the system level on the phone to read the notification count? Would rather not give yet another app my gmail credentials.

Thanks! Think Tesla Unread isn't available on the Play Store anymore, not sure whether the apk on Tesla Coil apps' website is compatible with the latest Nova Launcher (Prime) ...?

Unfortunately I've removed Gmail app and instead using Outlook for Android. The Native Nova Unread Badge is working well for the app under this setting.

According to Source 1 & Source 2, TeslaUnread required permissions which violated the terms of Google Play Store, that's why it was removed. Google also required third party launchers to have their own unread badges and that's why Nova included one in their later builds.
You can still download the Tesla Unread apk from the official site here.
I bought and installed Nova Launcher Price but unread counts didn't appear for Gmail. I thought the new version of Nova Prime didn't need Tesla Unread ...
When I installed and setup Tesla Unread from your linked apk, finally, after this long odyssey, I saw unread email counts on Gmail! Many thanks for all your help!!!
Still worried that Gmail notifications don't appear as fast on the Mate 20x as an old Samsung S7 I'm comparing it against, but shall keep testing.
I made sure Gmail has full (manual) permissions under settings->battery-> battery usage->gmail->app launch on the Mate 20x. Hope Gmail has continuous access to wifi or mobile data even when the phone is sleeping. Not sure whether I've missed a setting for this as couldn't find anything under settings->wireless & networks->wifi (settings)
Immediate push gmail notifications when a phone is sleeping, unread emails count management from multiple gmail accounts and a big screen are the most important features in a phone for me! Hopefully the Mate 20x will (eventually) tick all the boxes!

Many thanks!!! When I setup Gmail, Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime in settings->battery->app launch to 'manage manually' with everything enabled, the Mate 20x is faster getting email notifications than my old Samsung S7. Not sure whether all of this was needed but notifications were slower before when both the phones were sleeping.
Thanks for the screenshot. I don't have a "M" gmail notification in the top notifications area but a "2" (one email double counted). I noticed that emails were consistently double counted (one new email in gmail but the unread gmail iconbadge and notifications area says 2). In Nova settings -> notification badges -> Choose a style I switched from 'Numeric Dots' to 'TeslaUnread' and the double counting on the gmail icon badge stopped. The top notifications area still seems to be double counting but it's not the end of the world ...

Huawei is known for its' very aggressive battery management; That's why vs. Samsung for the same battery capacity, Huawei always wins because it puts most of its' apps to sleep if it's in the background. There are 3 settings to alter to fully keep an app alive in the background:
1. App Launch
Settings - Battery - App Launch - Manage Manually
2. Battery Optimisation
Settings - Apps - Apps - Special Access (Top Right) - Battery Optimisation - Set to "Don't Allow"
3. Lock App in Recent
Go to Recent Apps - Swipe down to Lock App (Lock Icon)

Wow! Thanks a lot! I hadn't done steps 2 and 3 for Gmail. Hopefully notifications speed will dramatically improve as it still was lagging when the Mate 20x is sleeping. Thanks again for the very detailed instructions. I'm sure many others will also benefit. Shall keep testing!

Many thanks for all your help. Think Gmail notifications are now appearing instantly on my Mate 20x.
I noticed that Nova Launcher has the highest battery usage among software apps on my Mate 20x (settings->battery->'battery usage'). Do you think I need to have Nova Launcher maxed out on the following settings or can get away with less?
1. Settings - Battery - App Launch - Manage Manually
2. Settings - Apps - Apps - Special Access (Top Right) - Battery Optimisation - Set to "Don't Allow"
Battery usage it's too much of an issue on the Mate 20x but every little optimisation helps in the long run. Thanks!

You can try to restore both to default and see how it goes. It shouldn't cause any issues as you're using the launcher constantly so the system will adjust accordingly.
