Badge Plugin for Xamarin and Windows

Simple cross platform plugin to work with application badge

Setup

• Available on NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xam.Plugin.Badge/
• Install into your PCL project and Client projects.

Supports

• Xamarin.iOS
• Xamarin.iOS (x64 Unified)
• Xamarin.Android
• Windows Phone 8.0
• Windows Phone 8.1 RT

Xamarin.Android Fix

Android doesn't supports app icon badge by default but third party manufacturers launchers do.

Now the plugin support these:

• Samsung
• HTC
• LG
• Sony
• Xiaomi
• Adw
• Apex
• Asus
• Nova
• Solid
• Default (because some launchers use android.intent.action.BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE to update count)
