wp.hooks.addAction('better_messages_update_unread', 'custom_action', function( unread ){
    // unread variable contains count of unread conversations
    var messages_count = jQuery('.header-notifications.user-messages span');

    if( unread > 0 ){
        messages_count.text(unread).attr('class', 'count');
    } else {
        messages_count.text(unread).attr('class', 'no-alert');
    }
});
</script>
