This may help you to set badge

cordova.plugins.notification.badge.set(1);

also check $cordovaBadge

module.controller('MyCtrl', function($cordovaBadge) {

  $cordovaBadge.set(3).then(function() {
    // You have permission, badge set.
  }, function(err) {
    // You do not have permission.
  });

});

Stock Android does not offer this functionality at the moment on the standard launcher.

Certain manufacturers (e.g. Samsung notably) 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.
