Can I put a HTML code in my chrome extension's icon? According to the Google API (setBadgeText) this isn't possible. Is there any way to put it there?

1Can you give an example of what you're trying to achieve? – Xan Jul 18 '16 at 09:18

While .setBadgeText is, as implied by name, text-only, you can draw anything and set that as your icon.
You'll need to draw on a <canvas>, extract image data and use .setIcon({imageData: /*...*/}) to update the icon.
See this question for a brief example, and maybe this article.
It's not quite "using HTML", but with some work you can output anything to your icon.

Badge is plain text only as can be seen in source code. There's no way around.
