Unread count topic

So I just got a black 32 gig and I'm loving it. I noticed there doesn't seem to be an unread count on anything. So I'm using apex launcher pro with apex notifier and this has got my count on missed calls and hangouts but doesn't seem to working for gmail or stock email exchange... Am I missing something or is this not functioning yet since KitKat is still relatively new.
Thanks Ryan
