[0] No new notifications.
[one] New notification.

}Good Practices shows this example as good practice, which is better than other ones, but fluent code itself might give the wrong impression. [one] doesn't generally mean 1. Just like [few] doesn't mean "something between 2 and 5".
[one] means "all numbers that inflate by the same rules like number 1", which in English corresponds to the number 1, but that's just a happy accident if any, and examples should use [1].
