Small bubble over a button to count items added to cart?

Question

I want to make a small bubble over a button in android which essentially tell the number of times the button is clicked or added items to the cart. I believe its called badges in iOS environment, I don't know about android, but this is what I want to achieve:

I also found a working solution here: Add new item count to icon on button - Android

But this doesn't work on Android 5.0+. In 5.0+ versions the bubble is hidden behind the button completely.

yes , it works fine on kitkat , but in lollipop, the textview is hidden behind the button completely – Aman Grover Jan 03 '16 at 07:05
Use the Tablelayout or Grid Layout It will solve your problem – Muhammad Younas Jan 03 '16 at 07:07
ok , in GridLayout , the textview is visible , but I want it to be placed above the button , with its edges slightly touching the button, like shown in the image in the question. – Aman Grover Jan 03 '16 at 07:11
Make one cell gravity right (button cell )and other left (textview cell) – Muhammad Younas Jan 03 '16 at 07:13
Same Issue textview still behind the button ? – Muhammad Younas Jan 03 '16 at 07:30
no, textview is visible but some sort of gap between textview and button – Aman Grover Jan 03 '16 at 07:51
Merge both the cells – Muhammad Younas Jan 03 '16 at 08:17
