Mark

Android

Starting with Android 8.0 (API level 26), notification badges—also known as notification dots—appear on a launcher icon when the associated app has an active notification. Users can touch & hold the app icon to reveal the notifications, along with any app shortcuts.

Starting With Android13 (API level 33), notification runtime permission should be requested before setting the app badge.

On POCO / Xiaomi HyperOS, numeric badges are driven by active notifications (the old extraNotification API is unavailable). Grant notification permission and enable the numeric badge style in system settings.

Add the following permissions to AndroidManifest.xml according to the system you need to support:

<!-- Samsung -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE"/>

<!-- HTC -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT"/>

<!-- Sony -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE"/>

<!-- Apex -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT"/>

<!-- Solid -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE"/>

<!-- Huawei -->
