Disable badges on Samsung Galaxy devices I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 JellyBean.

When I get notifications in SMS or from Facebook, I see a red notification with number (notification badges) on the application icon on home screen.

Is there a way to stop that? I stopped all notifications from Facebook app but I still get notification badges on home screen.
I found this article that explains how to disable it on the Galaxy Note i717. I don't have a SG phone but I imagine the solution would be similar for yours.


Go to Settings > Manage Applications > swipe laterally through the top tabs until you reach "All"
Scroll down to locate BadgeProvider and tap on it
Click on the Disable button and confirm that you would like it disabled.


This will disable all badge notifications as there is no per-app setting interface.
