This is sample and best way for showing badge on notification launcher icon.
Add This Class in your application
public class BadgeUtils {
public static void setBadge(Context context, int count) {
setBadgeSamsung(context, count);
setBadgeSony(context, count);
}
public static void clearBadge(Context context) {
setBadgeSamsung(context, 0);
clearBadgeSony(context);
}
private static void setBadgeSamsung(Context context, int count) {
String launcherClassName = getLauncherClassName(context);
if (launcherClassName == null) {
return;
}
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE");
intent.putExtra("badge_count", count);
intent.putExtra("badge_count_package_name", context.getPackageName());
intent.putExtra("badge_count_class_name", launcherClassName);
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private static void setBadgeSony(Context context, int count) {
String launcherClassName = getLauncherClassName(context);
if (launcherClassName == null) {
return;
}
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.sonyericsson.home.action.UPDATE_BADGE");
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.ACTIVITY_NAME", launcherClassName);
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.SHOW_MESSAGE", true);
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.MESSAGE", String.valueOf(count));
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.PACKAGE_NAME", context.getPackageName());
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private static void clearBadgeSony(Context context) {
String launcherClassName = getLauncherClassName(context);
if (launcherClassName == null) {
return;
}
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.sonyericsson.home.action.UPDATE_BADGE");
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.ACTIVITY_NAME", launcherClassName);
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.SHOW_MESSAGE", false);
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.MESSAGE", String.valueOf(0));
intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.PACKAGE_NAME", context.getPackageName());
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private static String getLauncherClassName(Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resolveInfos) {
String pkgName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName;
if (pkgName.equalsIgnoreCase(context.getPackageName())) {
String className = resolveInfo.activityInfo.name;
return className;
}
}
return null;
}
}
==> MyGcmListenerService.java
Use BadgeUtils class when notification comes.
public class MyGcmListenerService extends GcmListenerService {
private static final String TAG = "MyGcmListenerService";
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(String from, Bundle data) {
String message = data.getString("Msg");
String Type = data.getString("Type");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigTextStyle= new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
bigTextStyle .setBigContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.bigText(message);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon())
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setContentText(message)
.setStyle(bigTextStyle)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(defaultSoundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
int color = getResources().getColor(R.color.appColor);
notificationBuilder.setColor(color);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
int unOpenCount=AppUtill.getPreferenceInt("NOTICOUNT",this);
unOpenCount=unOpenCount+1;
AppUtill.savePreferenceLong("NOTICOUNT",unOpenCount,this);
notificationManager.notify(unOpenCount /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
// This is for bladge on home icon
BadgeUtils.setBadge(MyGcmListenerService.this,(int)unOpenCount);
}
private int getNotificationIcon() {
boolean useWhiteIcon = (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP);
return useWhiteIcon ? R.drawable.notification_small_icon : R.drawable.icon_launcher;
}
}
And clear notification from preference and also with badge count
public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
AppUtill.savePreferenceLong("NOTICOUNT",0,this);
BadgeUtils.clearBadge(this);
}
}
<uses-permission android:name="com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE" />
