That is not a feature build into Android. There are 2 ways to do it though. As you already mentioned, there are a few 3rd party launchers that support doing this. You can also do it via a widget. There are widgets that mimic an icon but with the unread counts like this one:

Notifyer should let you do this on any launcher. A little bit of work to setup but it works well.
