you may think that this is a duplicate question but i want answers to be more specific than any questions that are similar to this.
first it says that like facebook having notification badge with samsung device.
How does Facebook add badge numbers on app icon in Android?. and it turns out to be the touchwiz launcher which may be the default launcher of samsung devices. when i tried to test my samsung device with nova launcher. it needs to install some third party software or Nova TestlaUnread.
Heres the fact. i thought the touchWiz is adding badge for all application, but when i try to test with my app to have some notification, it doesn't show any badge. as i found out that samsung TouchWiz only showing app to selected app as stated here:
UI help for Notification on icon
The question is: is there any way to let know the touchWiz to add badge to my app-icon?
That's for the samsung device,
with that previous arguments, it seems like the launcher of different vendors are the one responsible for the badges in app icon in android. Sony Experia uses Experia Home/Launcher as its default launcher. in my sony device, they had some badge in there sms or miss calls or facebook.
The question is: like the previous question, is there any way to let know experia home to add badge to my app icon?
because i was thinking maybe interacting with the launcher seems the solution of this "adding badge to app icon".
and there's this solution about this activity alias and changing the app icon from time to time which i think is rubbish.
Is there a way to add a badge to an application icon in Android?
so i'm seeking solution on interacting with the launchers which is vendor specific.
'any solution will be appreciated even i would go deep with using native development in android'
Thanks ahead
