Z5 no longer shows the number of notifications I have on each app

Since I have updated to Marshmallow last night, my Z5 no longer shows the number of notifications I have on each app ๐Ÿ˜ž Anyone else have this problem? Notifications still appear in the notifications bar but not on the apps themselves (the little number).

I just got some information about this. It is due to the fact that the code snippet (API) that was used by apps such as WhatsApp Messenger, to show unread messages, was not official and is obsolete. The new API will be communicated to partners and will require implementation on the partner side.

Hi @em2evol,

Have you installed another launcher or are you using Xperia Home?

We're using Xperia Home and with same Whatsapp App Number Application, on 5.1.1 launcher, we could see badge numbers, but now we can't do it !!!

I just updated the phone when it said there was an update available.

Hey everyone

I've got a similar badge problem on my Z5 Compact and it annoys me a lot, especially for whatsapp. But what is strange is that the badges were still there for about a day after the update then like all of a sudden they disappeared. I've tried everything, restarting, reinstalling but nothing seems to work.

Do you experience this only for WhatsApp? If you experience it for more apps than just WhatsApp, could you give some examples of apps?

This happens to all of my apps except the standard email app and Lifelog seemingly. Facebook, Textra, Whatsapp and Cloudmagic don't have badges for me.
