No badge count after Marshmallow update

Dear Sony,

Thank you for the latest Marshmallow update. I do notice there is no badge count anymore (unread message count icon). Is this going to be fixed? Is there a fix already? Is there a work around? 

Kind regards,
Flint

Hi @Flint-,

This is because the API used by the application is obsolete. The new API will be communicated to third-party app developers and will require implementation on the their side.


And where do I find/get this API? I am a third-party App Developer and would like to get my badges to work on as many devices as possible.

Hi @BrankoR,

The code needs to be implemented by app developers. If your are a developer you can find some information on how to implement the code on our developer website which I linked to earlier. Slightly_smiling_Face

I have just bought AN XP and the problem still exists. Is there likely to be a solution?

Also, I cannot seem to introduce/activate the notifications bar to partly solve the above problem. Can anyone help, please?
