          You can try using react-native-firebase, it internally use ShortcutBadger to show notification number badges on Android:
          https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/notifications/reference/Notifications



          The badges in Android is changing at the moment, earlier they were supported only by launchers and since Android 8.0 they are supported also by Android:
          https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/badges



          So it is a little confusing to understand how react-native-firebase is supporting the badges on Android. But I managed to get them working partly, Android 9.0 device show them and older Android device (Honor8) show them when using firebase.notifications().setBadge(1) but not automatically when notifications are received. I quess the later one is trying to use the old launcher based badge support and either I have not done something correctly or my launcher is not supported by ShortcutBadger.
          If someone have idea, please share?



          If you try using react-native-firebase remember to add ShortcutBadger dependency to android/app/build.gradle and I also added setShowBadge(true) to Notification Channel created (Not sure if it was needed because it was not mentioned in documentation). Otherwise I followed the installation documentation.
