I'm not sure if this is possible, but I want to get the application badges of other running applications. So I'd like to get the text from Mail's badge or other apps like Adium. I've looked in NSWorkspace and NSRunningApplication and was not able to find this. Any help would be great.

This could happen someday for applications that use NSDockTile's setBadgeLabel:, but, AFAIK, it's not currently possible. You might want to file a request.

There is no way to do this to applications like Adium that composite the badged Dock icon together themselves and set it, badge and all, as a single image.
