Facebook notification count on app icon

[sonton2003]

Somehow my Facebook app shows the notifications right on the app icon iteself. My wife's S4 doesn't do that. I don't think I did anything special. Any thoughts on how I can get this for my wife's S4?

Are you both running updated versions of Facebook? Maybe one of you has notifications enabled and the other doesn't? Just guessing here.

Does anyone else's Facebook look like mine with the notifications on the app?

No I dont get that on my S4 from Telus. I just checked all my settings and I have everything checked for notifications.

I don't have that either and i have the samsung galaxy s4 just purchase last wednesday. How do we get that count? I'ld like that but I don't want it dining each time a message is posted.

How do I get that active app notification also? I'd like that so I can close when too many are open draining my battery.

I was getting that number of notifications till the other day, now nothing.

For what it's worth... the FB icon that was on my home screen did not show the count. But the FB icon in the Applications Folder did show the icon. I don't remember if the FB icon was already on the home screen when I bought the phone (and I just moved it to where I wanted it). In any event... I removed that icon and dragged the icon from the Apps Folder onto the homescreen and I still have count.

Mine was like that when I first got the phone and was running the stock launcher on Android 4.2.2 + whatever version of the FB app was current then (beginning of this month). I'm using Apex Launcher Pro now, and it's a standard (configuarable) feature.
