I understand Notification Badge in Android is only available after Android 8.0 (correct me if i am wrong)

I have created an app, which works on my Huawei, Android 8.

Now, the thing is, I have another Huawei phone, with Android 6. Somehow, some apps are able to show notification badge.

enter image description here

How are they doing it? When i install my app here, there is no badge at all... Did i miss out anything?

    For that you need to create custom badge for the application. or another option is create android widget for the custom badge on the launcher icon – Mahesh Keshvala Feb 20 '19 at 10:37

  • Thanks all. Really appreciate the info. I think i should omit 'notification' in my search, and should look for 'badge' instead. 'Notification badge' on the search engine will mostly land on the results that are not for android < 8.. >. – zeroflaw Feb 20 '19 at 14:11
