Hi DonManfred,
I've tried ShortcutBadger on Android 8-9 (Device Samsung S8 and Samsung Note9) without success
badge icon not be shown

Is there something to do with newer device/android version?
We've seen this thread:
https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger/issues/266
seems there is a new call on android sdk 26+ like:
NotificationCompat.Builder.setNumber(int)
Could be called with reflector calling this when SDK >= 26 still calling your library so I ensure badge works on (almost) all environment?

Thanks in advance
Regards Tommaso

Hi @DonManfred seems the "badger system" was overriden by this notification system (as part of Android 8 notification, maybe not for all OEM).

Have you tried to manage the app-icon-badge-number through this notification? We havent' found an example for it.

Using ShortcutBadger on the devices Samsung on SDK26+ seems don't work.

Many thanks in advance for your helps.

I know. I also noted that it does not work anymore.

But based on the findings it only works when the app is showing a notification and one should set the badgecount to this notification. I guess the NB Class can set the counter...

There isn´t much i can do; you need to handle them by yourself

From NB Class...
B4X:
'One of the following values: NONE, SMALL, LARGE
'Not supported by all launchers.
Public Sub BadgeIconType (IconType As String) As NB6
    If SdkLevel >= 26 Then
        Dim m As Map = CreateMap("LARGE": 2, "NONE": 0, "SMALL": 1)
        NotificationBuilder.RunMethod("setBadgeIconType", Array(m.Get(IconType)))
    End If
    Return Me
End Sub

'Sets a number that might be displayed as a badge.
Public Sub Number (Num As Int) As NB6
    If IsOld Then
        OldNotification.Number = Num
    Else
        NotificationBuilder.RunMethod("setNumber", Array(Num))
    End If
    Return Me
End Sub
