@katzer

I am using cordova android app which needs to show badge count with push notification, but i am facing issue count not displayed for below android 9 & in also in android 9 count not updated on push notification received.

I am using cordova version : 6.4.0
cordova android version : 6.1.0

cordova-plugin-badge : 0.8.6

i have used below code after device ready event fire in app

cordova.plugins.notification.badge.requestPermission(function (granted) {
 });

 cordova.plugins.notification.badge.configure({ indicator: 'circular' });

Can you please help me out with this issue

Any workarounds on this? I have the same issue

Hi,

1. circular indicator is macOS specific
2. For Android, the device launcher needs to support icon badges. There's no native equivalent compared to iOS.
3. Only the plugin knows the badge count. If the system receives a push notification, the badge count wont increase by one automatically.

Thanks @katzer So, there's no solution to display the badge count without depending on Push Notification like in IOS. Am I correct?

In our app, we were able to set the badge with phonegap-plugin-push when the device receives push notification but the cordova.plugins.notification.badge.set method is not working anymore although the device/launcher supports ShortcutBadger in android 8+ versions.

Any suggestions would be helpful here.
