An Android library that lets developers easily add badge icons with counts to ActionBar or Toolbar menu items. It integrates via a custom action layout and works with Android-Iconics for icon fonts.

Use cases

  • show a notification count badge on an action bar menu item
  • add a badge to a toolbar icon in my Android app
  • display unread message count on the app bar
  • badge a menu item in Android
  • update badge count dynamically on an action item

When to choose

  • you need a simple, ready-made badge for ActionBar/Toolbar menu items on Android
  • you want a Maven Central dependency with minimal setup
  • you use Android-Iconics icon fonts in your app

When to avoid

  • you need badges in BottomNavigationView or Material components rather than the action bar
  • you want a Jetpack Compose solution
  • you need a very actively maintained library - the latest release dates to 2020
