Hi
I was wondering if there was an option in org to show number of sub headers
in top level header. i know there is statistics cookies but that's not
automatic?

There are a few ways one could use statistic cookies to make this more
"automatic."
The first is to set:
(setq org-provide-todo-statistics 'all-headlines)
Also make sure that org-hierarchical-todo-statistics is set to t (the
default).
This will make sure that the statistics cookie counts all entries, not
just todo keywords, so the second number in a cookie [3/18] will be the
total number of subheadings.
Org-mode already automatically updates cookies when changing a todo. But
you could also update the cookies when changing a headline to ensure an
up-to-date count:
(add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook 'org-update-parent-todo-statistics)
Hope this helps,
Matt
