How to show notification count on app icon like Facebook?

Question

I want to show unread notification count on my app icon when app is not opened. this post seems to be close but it is 3 years old. Has there been any change on this or I should go with solutions provided in the accepted answer?

first you should store noftifications in local local storage(shared preference or db) and pass to viewbadger. when user open the app you should be delete noftifications and clear viewbadger. follow this example of code stackoverflow. https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-viewbadger — Muhammad Waleed, May 22 '16 at 13:09

Unfortunately you cant achieve this for all android devices.

Certain manufacturers (e.g. Samsung or Sony) have included this functionality into their customised Android launchers. Also some 3rd-party launchers (e.g. Nova Launcher) have included an API to accomplish this.

OM$G I can't believe Android have not created a native way to do it — MiguelHincapieC, Jan 20 '17 at 00:06
