🐞 Describe the bugAfter upgrading the ntfy Android app from version 1.22 to 1.23 on my Honor X40, the app icon badge (unread message count indicator) no longer appears when new notifications are received. The badge is not visible on either the home screen or in the app drawer, even though unread messages are present within the app.
💻 Components impactedAndroid app
💡 Screenshots and/or logs
Device: Honor X40
OS: Magic UI (based on Android)
App version: ntfy 1.23.0 (installed from either ntfy-1.23.0-fdroid-release.apk or ntfy-1.23.0-play-release.apk)
Confirmed settings:
App notification permissions are fully enabled
System-level icon badge display is enabled for ntfy
In-app notification settings are active
🔮 Additional context
The system-level "Icon badge" setting for ntfy in "Notifications & status bar" is confirmed to be enabled.
Icon badges work correctly for other apps (e.g., WeChat, QQ) on the same device, indicating the issue is specific to ntfy.
Troubleshooting steps attempted:
Uninstalled and reinstalled the app
Cleared app cache and data
Restarted the device multiple times
Ensured ntfy has background activity permissions
The Honor X40 uses Magic UI, which may have customizations that affect compatibility with the standard Android icon badge API.

ntfy does not (and has never) set the badge number on Android, so this behavior change must have been from your OS. Nothing I can do about it.
