Only three angels are mentioned by name in the canonical Bible - Gabriel, Michael, and Satan. At least two other angels are named in the Apocrypha, including Raphael (Book of Tobit), and Uriel (2 Esdras).
Gabriel
The angel Gabriel is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments, where he acts primarily as a messenger of God. As Gabriel is given the role of announcing the births of John the Baptist and Jesus to their parents, he is perhaps the most cherished angel in the Bible in terms of Christian tradition. (Gabriel is also mentioned in the apocryphal and apocalyptic book of Enoch (9:1, 20:7, 40:9). Enoch, though, is not included even in most Bibles that include the section known as "The Apocrypha".)
Dan 8:15-19 Interprets a vision of Daniel
Dan 9:20-23 Instructs Daniel
Luke 1:11-20 Appears to Zechariah (father of John the Baptist)
Luke 1:26-38 Appears to Mary, wife of Joseph
Michael
Michael, like Gabriel, is also mentioned in both Old and New Testaments. Unlike Gabriel, though, Michael's role seems to be primarily that of a protector, or as the head of an angelic army. (Michael is also mentioned in apocryphal book of Enoch (9:1, 10:11)).

Dan 10:13 "one of the chief princes"
Dan 10:21 "No one supports me against them except Michael"
Dan 12:1 Great prince
Jude 1:9 Archangel Michael
Rev 12:7 War in heaven against Satan
Satan
Alas, the angel mentioned most often in the scriptures is the "fallen angel", Satan. "Satan" is a Hebrew word meaning accuser, adversary, or opponent. While the name Satan appears 53 times in the scriptures (NIV), Satan is also referred to under a number of other names, such as "devil", "evil one", "the destroyer", etc. Revelation 12:9 identifies Satan as being the "ancient serpent" in Genesis (3:15).
The fall of Satan and his angels from heaven tells us that heavenly beings are not without sin. However, the Bible assures us that, ultimately, God's will is predominate in the universe.

Notes
The Fall of Satan and the Angels
Isaiah 14:12-20
"Morning star" is translated as "Lucifer" in KJV
Ezekiel 28:12-19
Satan once had a special place of honor guarding the throne of God
Luke 10:18
"I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."
2 Peter 2:4
Angels that sinned are placed in hell, awaiting judgment
Jude 1:6
Fallen angels are held in darkness for Judgment Day
Revelation 12:4
May indicate that Satan took a third of the angels with him
Revelation 12:7-12
War in heaven between Archangel Michael and Satan
The end of Satan and his angels
Mat 25:41 "Eternal fire" was prepared for Satan and his angels
Rom 16:20 God will crush Satan under the feet of the Church
Rev 20:1-3 Satan thrown into the abyss for 1000 years
Rev 20:10 Satan thrown into lake of burning sulfur forever
Raphael
Raphael is mentioned only in the Apocrypha (in Tobit, as well as the apocalyptic book of Enoch). Tobit seems to identify that Raphael is one of seven angels that have special status:
"I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ready and enter before the glory of God" (Tobit 12:15; NRSV)
The term "archangel" ("chief", or "first" angel) appears only twice in the Bible. No name is assigned in 1 Thess 4:16, but in Jude 1:9, Michael is designated as an archangel. (In the Apocrypha, Gabriel is also identified as an archangel).

You asked how many angels in the Holy Bible. Only two are named in scripture - the ones you named, Gabriel and Michael. Some translations - like the King James Version -use Lucifer for Satan. The Hebrew word means shining one so some translations use morning star or daystar. But Jerome's Latin Vulgate uses Lucifer and that's how it ended up in other translations. Tradition gives many other names for angels, but they do not appear in the Holy Bible. Only the two above appear.

How many angels are there?
Innumerable: Genesis 2:1; Hebrews 12:22; Daniel 7:10; Psalms 68:17; Matthew 26:53

The name Lucifer does not appear in the Bible. Satan's name is not mentioned. Michael is the Archangel - The prefix "arch" meaning "chief" or "principal" implies that there is only one archangel,the chief angel,in the Scriptures,"archangel" is never found in the plural. Gabriel - The only holy angel other than Michael named in the Bible.

Only two.
1. Micheal (Daniel 12:1; Jude 9)
2. Gabriel (Daniel 8:16; Luke 1:26)
EDIT: Contrary to some answers given here, Lucifer is not the name of an angel, and in the Bible it was used in reference to the king of Babylon, a human and not a spirit creature.
