Ask the experts again

Ok once again turning to the experts on this forum again.
Before I load TSF Launcher, my mail apps, and taptalk, facebook, etc.
All them use to show if I had a notification, like a 1 or 2 etc over the app. But now since I loaded the TSF launcher, the apps don't show anything, my mail is not checking for new mail etc. If I don't open the app I don't know if there is anything new. Or if I don't pull down from top of phone screen to see what notices I have.
If I just unlock my phone and look at the apps on the screen, there is nothing showing that I have mail, on messenger or anything.
I really like the TSF launcher, and don't want to use the one that came with the phone. Is there anything I can do?
Or is there another launcher out there, like or better then TSF?

Thanks in advance

For information TSF Launcher or TSF Shell is from Cheetah Mobile of Beijing, and so maybe best avoided especially if your privacy is important, i.e. it's Chinese spyware/adware.

Nova Launcher Prime is often recommended on here, and I have used it myself.

And whether you get notification badges, and what form they take, is a feature of the launcher. Check the launcher settings, though as others have said I'd personally not allow anything by the data-mining company called Cheetah Mobile on my devices.
