How to make the Missed it! widget:

After adding a 4x1 missed it widget to your homescreen, it brings up a dialog box. Give the widget a name if you wish. Next tap on "Monitored elements". The default elements are sms, phone and gmail. Long press on each one and select remove. Then tap the menu button and select "add", then select "application". From here you may need to enable Missed it in the accessibility menu. 

Add whatever apps to the monitored list that you wish, my example is for a social counter.


Tap on the monitored element and this box appears. The %c is the code for the digit in the output. (Default output in this case would be; 5 Falcon Pro notifications") Edit the fields untill they look like this:



Now the output will read "twitter 5"

Now go into the output format menu and tap "Customize". The default will look like this:


[nl] stands for "new line". Delete all those. then place each value on the same line with about five spaces in between each. Here's a shot of what it should look like:


Now you can go into the Appearance menu and change font, color, etc. One important thing to remember is to go into the Layout menu and center the horizontal and vertical alignments.

So there you have it. A basic rundown of Missed it! widget. Sorry there's no video, screencasting doesn't really work on Android 4.2 and I don't have a good enough camera to record, so I hope this will suffice.
