  • setPredefinedColor. Predefined colors are SWT.COLOR_BLUE, SWT.COLOR_GRAY, SWT.COLOR_GREEN, SWT.COLOR_RED,SWT.COLOR_YELLOW, SWT.COLOR_CYAN, SWT.COLOR_BLACK
  • Or by calling the methods setBadgeForeground() or setBadgeBackground() 
final BadgedLabel button1 = new BadgedLabel(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.TOP | SWT.LEFT);
button1.setText("Notification");
final GridData gd = new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.CENTER, false, false);
gd.widthHint = 200;
gd.heightHint = 100;
button1.setLayoutData(gd);
button1.setBadgeValue("1");
button1.setPredefinedColor(SWT.COLOR_GREEN);
button1.setBackground(label.getDisplay().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WHITE));
