It's now possible to:

  • Toggle the emblems at all
  • Disable the notification counters
  • Control whether the notification numbers are summed with the applications-provided counts (no by default)

Closes: #1964

By default we don't override the applications-provided count anymore,

There's no point to do all the monitoring if it has been disabled
explicitly or because we're i dnd mode.

I tested only my "case" by deactivating the checkbox "Show the number of unread notifications" and it's working fine for me. :)

In my case in Thunderbird, after reading all the unread emails, when it gets down to the last, the emblem does not go away. Tried with applications-provided counts off and on with same result. A notice in Files file manager which I happen to come across, worked as expected

That option is not meant to disable them (there's the global option for it), but only to sum or not the two values.

Apparently in your case there's something still sending us that the number is > 0, because in my tests we hide them otherwise.

Thanx for the info Marco. Is there some way to discover this? Logs etc..?

One way is probably to monitor the dbus session, so launching:

dbus-monitor --session --monitor "interface='com.canonical.Unity.LauncherEntry'" and see what it happens.

For reference, my test app sets it back to 0 and the emblem is hidden:

Also you can try the hello-unity snap and see how it behaves: https://snapcraft.io/hello-unity

Thanx Marco. Using hello-unity I figured out the functionality notification wise. As long as the notification on the unity bar is not dismissed, the count remains. And has nothing to do with the fact that I have read or not the emails. Glad to clear this out. Thanx again for contributing on this!
