title: How to show Notification Count on My App Icon on Home Screen in Android
body: <p>The question is that 
  Android places new alerts in the system wide notification bar while the iPhone places a notification directly over the specific app icon.</p>
  
  <p>So what i have to do is that, i have to show my app icon with notification count received from C2dm receiver same as it is shown in iPhone with red oval showing the count. </p>
  
  <p>i have referred this == <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1103027/how-to-change-an-application-icon-programmatically-in-android">Link 1</a> and this link == <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5569695/android-is-it-possible-to-update-a-imageview-imagebutton-with-a-number-to-show">link 2</a> to do it but no success has yet received.</p>
  
  <p>please provide some guideline to do it. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.    </p>
