## What it is
An Android library that displays unread message counts as badges on app launcher shortcuts, similar to iOS. It supports badge notifications across many OEM launchers including Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Xiaomi, and others.

## Use cases
- show unread message count on app icon
- add notification badge to Android launcher shortcut
- display badge count like iOS on Samsung devices
- update app icon badge when messages arrive
- clear launcher badge after user reads notifications

## When to choose
- your Android app needs launcher icon badges across multiple OEM launchers
- you want iOS-style unread counts on Android home screens
- you need a small, focused library for badge support

## When to avoid
- you only target launchers with native Android 8+ notification channel badge support
- your app has no notification or messaging features
- you need badges on unsupported launchers like stock Pixel launcher
