Badges for Android Mobile Devices
What are Badge Notifications? (Android)
Depending on a user's personal Android settings, badge notifications can be displayed as a small dot or a number when you receive a push notification for an alert message and/or team chat message on the Android platform of TeamSnap.
Note: Badge markers for push notifications will only be displayed on the TeamSnap app icon for Android devices using Android Oreo 8.0 or higher. They are not available for earlier versions of the Android OS.
Where will I see Badge Notifications?
Badges Outside the TeamSnap Icon
On the outer face of the Android app, badges are displayed as a dot or a number based on your personal notification settings on your device. The badge is to let you know that you have received a push notification from TeamSnap. It does not indicate the number of unread messages within the app. To clear this App badge you would clear your phones notifications.
Badges Inside the TeamSnap Icon
Inside the TeamSnap app, badges display in two different places:
- On the My Teams landing page next to the team that has been notified
- On the envelope icon within the team.
