Flutter desktop windows notification badge on app icon

Question

I can't seem to find this one. Is it possible to add the number on the app icon? (windows desktop)

For example this is Telegram on windows:

Answer 1

You can use package:windows_taskbar to add badge (overlay icon) to your Flutter Windows app's taskbar icon.

You have to create icons yourself though, maybe "1", "2", "3"... "9" & "9+" like most applications (as .ico files).

It's very easy to use as well.

Add in pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  windows_taskbar: ^1.1.0

Set Icon

WindowsTaskbar.setOverlayIcon(
  ThumbnailToolbarAssetIcon('assets/red_slash.ico'),
  tooltip: 'Stop',
);

Don't forget to add the icon file to your pubspec.yaml assets.

Remove Icon

WindowsTaskbar.resetOverlayIcon();

NOTE: I'm developer of the package.

Answer 2

These badges are autocreated on notification. There arent much packages for notifications in windows. You can give this a try.

quick_notify: ^0.2.1

QuickNotify.notify(
  title: 'My title',
  content: 'My content',
);
