Any plans to put it back?

I could easily scan apps on my desktop, searching for games in this spot, reminders in other spots, ignore the BlackBerry dot, etc.
When apps have more than one notice, I could select the proper one from the dot: this morning's pill reminder or last night's.
Demoting the dots was a massive step backwards for me and the others on this thread. Please return them to us.
gr...@gmail.com <gr...@gmail.com> #70
It was an exceptionally useful feature - allowed me to keep an eye on things without having to open the respective apps and check through them - I used it many times a day.
I have seen no improvements that directly affect me in Android 14, though I'm sure there are some useful things hidden away in there, and it comes with this huge disadvantage - what is the point in Android 14 if it's only obvious change is to make life worse for users?
Notification dots are now meaningless. I have a bunch of apps with dots on them that I have no way to remove, nothing showing in the slide down menu, nothing showing in the app - Twitter/X for example - so have no idea if there is something I need to react to when I glance at the screen.
Long press on the icon is now also a total waste of time - doesn't ever give you anything you would want to interact with.
Does anyone know if it is safe/feasible to return to Android 13?

The only thing I might disagree with is that it's the dumbest thing Google has ever done, because Google's graveyard is filled with good shit, albeit buried. The current (non) notification dots are not only less useful than before, they're worse than useless.

Please return this feature to it's previous setting - or at least allow the user to set it to it's previous setting.
Also a quantity number in the dot would be a great feature - I see you have this on the "+1' setting on the top of the page! Very handy!

This is still working on other launcher apps running on Android 14 (Action Launcher, Lawnchair, etc.). Can we confirm that it is really "intended behavior" to make it stop working on the official Google Pixel launcher app?
Even the documentation for developers at
https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications/badges
still states the following:
"Starting with Android 8.0 (API level 26), notification badges—also known as notification dots—appear on a launcher icon when the associated app has an active notification. Users can touch & hold the app icon to reveal the notifications, along with any app shortcuts, as shown in figure 1."

Please reinstate this feature and bring back the lost functionality. Google has already hobbled Android enough by removing the features that made it really useful such as Android Auto on the phone face and having personal reminders show up on the home screen.
Based on the responses here, you have to know that your customers really want the feature. And all it takes is a quick search to hear similar comments all over the place. But I promise you won't find a single one that says "whew!!! So glad I can't see details of my notifications anymore!"
The code is already written for it - just copy/paste it back in from 13.

The removal of this feature is very disappointing. It's the best way to access notifications from a given app. For those of us that don't care to have a clear notification bar all the time, it was a life saver. Pretty please, bring it back as an option at least 🙏🙏🙏

Reading here that this is "intended behaviour" makes as little sense as buying a new car, getting noticing it's missing a door, and having the dealership tell me that "we now sell them like that intentionally".
So please, bring this feature back.

It seems to be highly regarded by passionate users. If it had performance/battery impact, add a warning saying it will impact performance/battery, as there are warnings for multiple other features.
At the very least, please explain to your loyal users why it was removed.
