title: How to make application badge on android?
body: <p>--Edit on 23 Apr 2016--</p>
  <p>I finally used ShortcutBadger in most areas of my Device, I think that should be enough for me.</p>
  <p><a href="https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ShortcutBadger</a></p>
  <p>Basically, Shortcut Badger will send broadcast, intent, etc to specific launcher, such as LG Launcher, to make a badge. It may not cover all the launchers but at least it works for the most recent smart phones.</p>
  <p>--Edit--</p>
  <p>What I am seeing on LG G2 (4.4), there is a number of some of the Apps, e.g. Line, which showing unread count.</p>
  <p>This is the application badge I mean and I want to find a way to work that out.</p>
  <p>This number will also be notified by the launcher itself, when the app in put inside a folder, the folder will also show the badge.</p>
  <p>I think there should have ways to make it work, as I found several apps having badges.</p>
  <p>--Original--</p>
  <p>I did a search before and I found that there is a way to make application badge on Samsung and Sony, but what I want is to support other vendor, such as LG and HTC.</p>
  <p>Is there an universal way to make an application badge?</p>
  <p>Thanks for your help!</p>
