My app gets notification, but, to show notification badgen it needs the "show app badge icon" in parameter > app > notification > show app badge icon.
What's the code for my app to ask this permission ? (prompting something that would send the user to this screen, and he can allow notification badges)
notificationChannel.setShowBadge(true)
Notification badges are shown by default, for changing this setting programmatically we must uninstall the program first and reinstall it.

I understand the Notification Badge on the launcher icon in Android (8.0+) is automatically shown when a notification is received. Unfortunately, once they open or dismiss the notification the badge will be removed. What I'm wondering is, can the app itself directly tell the system to show the badge? I would like to show it when they have unread messages within the app.
I understand that some third party launchers and manufacturer variants of Android do offer additional badge functionality, however, I am referring to vanilla Android and the stock launcher.
Thank you.

Only if the launcher supports it. There are hundreds of launchers.

In terms of the standard Android SDK system, the badge will only appear if you raise a notification. Some launchers may offer an additional (documented or undocumented) API for apps to display badges on icons.
Actually the thing I want to achieve is, normally the shortcut icon badge count in android got cleared once the push notification popup is acknowledged by an user from notification panel, but instead clearing the count as above it has to be cleared only after the corresponding notification is acknowledged by an user within the app(for eg: if an user received a text message then the badge count will increased to one and once the user cleared the push notification popup form notification panel then the badge will also got cleared, but instead of that badge should be cleared only after the user viewed the message).
I tried the following packages.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-app-badge
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-android-badge
Looks like you can use ShortcutBadge.setCount(0); to clear the badge counter!
I dont know what you use to display a notification on the android device itself, probably react-native-push-notification.
If that's the case, they also have a function for it:
PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0)
You just need to run one of these functions when the event of a dismissed notification triggers, which may or may not need some java coding for achieve it!
I want to show unread messages count on my android app's launcher icon. It should be cleared only, once the user read all messages. I have tried setnumber method inside my firebase push notification service class. But it is not showing badge count. Then I used this library, https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger . Now it is showing badge count. But the problem is,when user open the app or remove notifications this badge count will automatically disappear. How can I show badge count on launcher icon?
Does there exists any mechanism in Android where ONLY notification dot gets displayed without any notification item ?
I just want to show notification dot on app icon to notify user about updates within the app.
Is this possible ?
Is it possible to create an app that it's sole purpose is to toggle on/off the facebook push notifications? (like a silence for facebook)?
If you give your app notification-access permissions you should be able to dismiss the notifications as soon as they pop-up, but the user will still get notified (sound or vibrating), although he won't see the notification when the device is unlocked as your app would have dismissed it.
Pushbullet does that.
In any case it's no use, the user can go to the Facebook app details and uncheck the notifications box.
