Help SMS Messaging Icon Doesn't Show Unread Texts Over It

[exZachly]

I recently just purchased a S3 and whenever I receive a new text, I do not get a red circle with the unread text count above it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using the stock SMS app with no other SMS apps installed.

Have you tried having a mess around with the settings?

Do a factory reset and this solves the problem. I too had it on my S3 and Galaxy Duos
