An extended TextView that mimics the iOS Springboard 'badges'. It can be overlaid on any other item.
In Eclipse, just import the library as an Android library project. Project > Clean to generate the binaries you need, like R.java, etc. Then, just add BadgeView as a dependency to your existing project and you're good to go!
BadgeView badge = new BadgeView(getActivity());
badge.setTargetView(myView);
badge.setBadgeCount(42);- Stefan Jauker
