Bug ID: 419659
Summary: Need help troubleshooting badge counter notifications
in latte-dock.
Product: lattedock
Version: git (master)
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Clarification/Help wanted on troubleshooting badge counter indicators in
latte-dock. All of my research ends up pointing me towards the "Unity Launcher
API", but whenever I try to search for that API with regards to KDE I'm drawing
mostly blanks. Could we get an authoritative answer on whether latte-dock
supports it, and if it doesn't, what API DOES it support for getting badge
counter notifications to work?
Screenshot of badge counter just so everyone is clear what I'm talking about:

I know that latte-dock supports badge counters, but I'm just having trouble
figuring out how and what API controls it. Here's what I've found out so far.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 3 distros ready. KDE Neon 18.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04
1. Install Telegram from snap store.
2. Install discord from .deb file (0.0.10)
2a. It is important that it is installed from .deb. I couldn't reproduce the
same results installing from snap store.
3. Install mailspring from .deb file (1.7.4)
3a. For Ubuntu 20.04, needed to follow
https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/issues/1880 to install mailspring
3b. For Ubuntu 18.04/20.04, needed to follow
https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/issues/420 (sudo mv
/usr/share/applications/mailspring.desktop
/usr/share/applications/Mailspring.desktop).
OBSERVED RESULT
Please refer to below table of results of whether I was able to get badge
counters displayed or not after applying any relevant fixes documented above^

EXPECTED RESULT
I was hoping it would work for all of them.
