Description
When multiple apps are grouped into a Folder, the total number of unread notifications from all contained apps should be shown as a badge in the Folder’s top-right corner.
This behavior is standard in the default Android launcher and is important for functional parity. It allows users to see pending notifications without having to open the Folder.
Expected behavior:
- The Folder icon displays a numeric badge representing the sum of all notification counts from the apps inside it.
- The badge updates dynamically as notifications are received or cleared.

Why this is needed
Without this aggregated badge, users lose visibility into notifications for apps placed inside Folders. Implementing this feature will help Fossify Launcher fully replace the default Android launcher experience.
Why do you want this feature?
This standard feature is implemented in Android's default launcher. It must be implemented in Fossify Launcher to fully replace it.
