Use this to add number badge.

public static void setBadge(Context context, int count) { 
String launcherClassName = getLauncherClassName(context);
 if (launcherClassName == null) { return; }
 Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE");
 intent.putExtra("badge_count", count);
 intent.putExtra("badge_count_package_name", context.getPackageName());
 intent.putExtra("badge_count_class_name", launcherClassName);
 context.sendBroadcast(intent);
 } 


public static String getLauncherClassName(Context context) { 
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
 intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); 
List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
 for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resolveInfos) { 
String pkgName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName; 
if(pkgName.equalsIgnoreCase(context.getPackageName())) { 
String className = resolveInfo.activityInfo.name; return className; 
} 
}
 return null; 
}
