Why don't my custom icons show notification badges?

I recently downloaded the app, "awesome icons" in order to give myself the new round pixel icons. Since doing that, I've noticed that my apps don't show notification badges it's only the custom ones so I'm wondering if there was a setting I missed when setting them up or if it's just not possible to have the badges on there? I also tried making them something else just in case but still no luck. Please help. I love my custom icons but not if I can't have badges
