Help No notification bubble on Facebook and WhatsApp on LG G3

Hi All

I just got my G3 2 days ago, really nice phone and everything would be perfect If I could fix the following:

When I get a notification from Facebook it shows in the top drag down menu but the Facebook or WhatsApp icon dose NOT show any notification bubble. IE If I have 2 notifications I should see a number 2.

I am using a NEW LG G3 and it was updated to android lollipop straight out of the box!!

Any help would b really cool as I have spent the past 2 days looking into this doing the following:
Hard reset
Disable and enable notifications from within the app and also via settings - apps
Soft reset

I've never known the Facebook icon to show notifications, what phone were you using previously that did that?
 
I got the same notification that you got for Facebook and that is all you get. When you get a bubble, is either from messaging apps like viber, whatsapp and viber

I have never seen a bubble notification for Facebook
 
The notification worked like that on my Galaxy S4 but never has on my G3. I remember reading somewhere (but I forget where) that the notifications don't work like that on G3.
 
I think that may be Samsung specific, something that they implemented themselves. Normally you only get icon badges with default message and mail apps, but sometimes developers create widgets that allow notification badges.
 
You could just use Nova Prime as your default launcher and you can get unread badges for dang near anything.......
Keep in mind you have to have the paid version though.

This. ^^

I use Nova Prime with Tesla Unread to get notification badges for all of my apps.
 
If I get a message via Facebook messenger message I get a floating bubble on the screen
 
Settings>>Sound>>Apps(Set notifications for apps)... In this you can disable or enable the notifications for any app to pop up on top of the home screen. Hope this works for you!
 
This feature just started working for Facebook on my Verizon G3 after I received a Facebook update today.
 
This started working with both the Facebook APP and the Facebook Messenger APP after the updates :-)

Not tried the Whatsapp yet.....
 
Yes me too facing the same problem. No Notification bubble for facebook and whatsapp. My Samsung galaxy S4 Mini and my wife's Nokia lumia 820 both show bubble ...
