Badges

Push Kit provides an API for setting badges on the server. A badge number indicates the number of unread messages. You can encapsulate badge parameters in messages. For notification messages, Push Kit will display the badge number on the app icon. For data messages, your app needs to call the getBadgeNumber method to obtain badge parameters from each message and display the badge number.

Sample code for setting a badge on the server:

{
    "validate_only": false,
    "message": {
        "notification": {
            "title": "message title ",
            "body": "message body"
        },
        "android": {
            "notification": {
                "click_action": {
                    "type": 2,
                    "url": "https://example.com"
                },
                "badge": {
                    "add_num": 1,
                    "class": "com.huawei.codelabpush.MainActivity",
                    "set_num": 10
                }
            },
            "ttl": "1000"
        },
        "token": [
            "pushtoken1"
        ]
    }
}
