Recently I've noticed that I have no notifications (no badge, no bubbles) for SMS/iMessage in my iPhone. I have the following settings:
- Notifications: allow, show in notification centre, sounds – note, badge app icon, show on lock screen;
- Messages: iMessage, text message forwarding – my iPad, my MacBook – all off, send and receive – my phone and email;
- Do not disturb – off.
For me this looks like a serious bug (in 9.3.5?) or a security issue, but since I've checked text message forwarding I don't know how it could be.
What else to check or how to fix this?

Often a hard reset of the device will fix problems. Powering off and back on doesn't do the same thing as it does for a computer - it's more akin to hibernate mode in that its drawing no power, but nothing (RAM etc) is cleared.
To do a hard reset, on iPhone 6s and below, press and hold Sleep and Home until the Apple logo appears. On iPhone 7 and higher, press and hold Volume Down and Home.
