Question

My questions :

Objective

These are icons and will display numbers in red circle whenever there's a notification or a message is recieved.

On the right side , I want to display text which depends the text recieved as message or text in the form of notification.Conside it dynamic, which keeps changing frequently.

I am stucked on this part and unable to solve it. I will be thankful if anyone can help me out with this !! Thanks

For marquee code you can look to the Marquee text in Android

and i don't sure but if you make your textview width match parent it should be okay but i am not 100% sure about it.
