Post-APG3 build: No notification icons whatsoever on AOD



If flashing the new stock firmware for my S7E, I have suddenly noticed that no notification icons (with counters) whatsoever (for missed calls, text messages, emails) are now being displayed on AOD.

This is what I know for sure:
My S7E (with the APG3 firmware installed) does NOT display AOD notification icons for:
- New/unread Email messages (built-in Samsung app)
- New/unread Gmail messages
- Missed calls (built-in Samsung app)

But since I haven't been using the S7E for that long, and because I'm a bit of a 'flashing addict' (flashing every new firmware as soon as it becomes available), I have to admit that I can't be 100% percent sure that this wasn't also the case with my last installed firmware build (APF3).
Nevertheless, I distinctly remember actually seeing AOD notification icons for (in the very least) missed calls and text messages in some of my earlier installed builds...

The strange thing is: My S7E is perfectly able to show notifications for new/unread Gmail messages on the Edge screen, when I do the back-and-forth swipe on the AOD screen... So why not have a similar notification icon and counter for new/unread Gmail messages on the AOD screen? This totally baffles me... ;/

Are any of you guys out there experiencing anything similar? I really hope you can help me shed some more light on this issue.
