Notification Count (continued)
This module adds a badge with a number next to notification icons, when the notification has a quantity (e.g. messages).
This is a built-in Android functionality, this module works as enabler for this function.
Additionally, this modules has the option to add such a number to a notification, even while it does not have a quantity:
The numbers are automatically either fetched from the notification title, summary or by counting the times an app adds content to a notification.
It can be manually 'arranged' for specific apps, so that they use a user-specified method (or none) when causing problems.
You can customize the displayed number freely!
On Lollipop and above, you can also add the notification number to a secure lockscreen, if the app does not do this itself.
Author & Copyright Information
This module was first developed by GitHub user bbukowski.
His version (can be found under http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.bbukowski.notifcount) was not updated since August 2014, and did not work on Lollipop.
I forked his repo (https://github.com/bbukowski/NotifCount) and added my changes.
I added a pull request for my changes and will let him keep the 'right' ownership about this module if he wants to.
Look for README.md in my GitHub repo of this module for more information.
- Fixed some (performance) problems with Android Marshmallow (6.0).
- Added feature to add number to secure lockscreens.
- New app list engine.
> RAM management should be better.
> Loading time is a lot faster.
> The list is searchable.
- Switch to Material design on older devices, too.
> Includes: Some smaller UI changes.
- Added "Extract number from notification content".
- Fixed system integration on HTC Sense Lollipop devices.
- Added possibility to change alpha value of number badges.
- You can now adjust the notification badge style freely (color, size).
- You can now change the behavior of the 'Exception list' from blacklist to whitelist (again).
- The Notification Count settings can now be integrated into Android's notification long-click menu.
Be careful to activate this on non-AOSP-ROMs lower than Lollipop, could need to disable Xposed Framework temporarily.
- Cancel test notifications before sending new ones, to apply appearance changes faster.
- Added Russian language (partially). Thanks GitHub user GromozavrStas.
- Added `auto-decide` feature:
-> Automatically choose which way to use to fetch a number from a notification that does not provide a value by itself.
Use either the title, summary or update count for this purpose.
-> Some apps that cause problems can be forced to use a specific way of the available ones.
-> UI updates to fit those needs.
- Fixed bug that only let save whitelist items currently visible on screen.
- Added ability to hide launcher icon.
- New 'workaround' mode: Extract number from notification description.
This only works on KitKat and later for now.
Only enable this for apps that provide a notification number in their notification's small description!
Restart of version numbering.
