How to get notifications like iPhone?

[Azeez]

Like if I have a notification on my iPhone it will show a number by the app. Similar to how on the Droid if I have a text it will put the number there. But how would I get this show for something like aim or google voice?

aint seen that option b4. might try sending dev of apps you want to do that on an email.

if you want it on the homescreen, you need a widget to do that. might search the market for it. i know of some 3rd party apps for texting and email that does this.

some apps should by default show a number in the notification bar..

for texts, you can get Handcent or ChompSMS.

for emails, i'm not sure...

K9 mail will show a message count in the task bar, but not sure if it will show accounts individually or in total. I think pure messenger may also do this, but not sure.

Personally, I don't like the message count. I have a full screen widget, a mail icon is enough to get me to check it. Does it really matter if you have 1 unread message or 10? Takes 1 second to look (pure messenger widget can show only unread emails).

K-9 shows individual mail icons for each account, with its own independent count.

There is an app called gmail unread count which is a widget and will show the count but I don't know about AIM or google voice
