How do I get Google+'s notifications into Android's notification list? From iOS I'm used to seeing app icon badges and notifications concerning actvity inside apps. Android is lacking app icon badges but it does have a great notification menu -- except that Google+ notifications (the red counter in the black Google bar on all Google's web sites) don't arrive there. I do see the counter in the Google+ app (in Android as well as in iOS) but on Android there's no notification outside of the app. 

I think it's weird that Google's awesome social network doesn't send notifications to Google's mobile OS.

I am hoping that it's merely some setting I need to enable on my phone to make these appear. Right?  I very much doubt that I really have to launch the G+ app to see notifications, given that so many other apps use Android's notification methods so successfully.

How can I see Google+ notifications in Android's notification list?
Uhhh...I get Google+ Notifications all of the time.

Check:


Settings | Apps | Google+ | Show Notifications is checked
In the Google+ app, Overflow menu (three vertical dots) | Settings | Notifications is ON. Tap that entry and choose which types of notifications to get. I see
