Add badge to android application

Question

I use GCM in my application I want when I receive notification the number in badge increment I'm using this library implementation "me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.21@aar" in the receive I implemented this code in onMessageReceived:

PendingIntent pendingIntent2 = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

Uri defaultSoundUri1 = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
        .setContentTitle(appGCMModel.getGcmTitle())
        .setContentText(appGCMModel.getGcmMessage())
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .setSound(defaultSoundUri1)
        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent2)
        .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
        .bigText(appGCMModel.getGcmMessage()));

Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();

ShortcutBadger.applyNotification(getApplicationContext(), notification, i);

NotificationManager notificationManager =
        (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

but when the notification is received the number of badge isn't incremented can any one help me?

This is because you didn't increment the count. you need to save the value in SharedPreferences. Something like this:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

// get previous count
int count = prefs.getInt("badge_count", 0);
// increment the count
count = count + 1;

// save the new value.
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
editor.putInt("badge_count", count);
editor.commit();

// Set to the badge
ShortcutBadger.applyNotification(getApplicationContext(), notification, count);

Please do not forget that ShortcutBadger.applyNotification() is only for Xiaomi devices. Read more at Xiaomi Device Support.
