I need to add a badge for any unread notification's in my android application. My research tells me that I need to use a widget for this purpose. I already have used a widget for this purpose, and I get a badge with a number whenever an event is received.

The problem I have is that I am unable to identify a way to replace the application icon with the widget. Is it possible in android at all? Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks!

Isn't that an in app badge? Would that work for an icon too? – Anirudh Dec 03 '13 at 12:09
