[Feedback]: Add the method to set the app badge count manually.

[vernalclareai]

What's on your mind?

I want to add one function to set the app badge count manually on foreground state.

OneSignal.shared.clearOneSignalNotifications();

This method worked well. Checked this method is putting the app badge count as 0. If possible, please provide the method also to set the custom count for app badge. So when the app is on foreground, I can set the app badge count according to the unread logic. Thanks.

@vernalclareai Thanks for the suggestion, however Android only allows setting a badge number in conjunction with showing a notification. See Android's Modify a Notification Badge for the details on this limitation.

Before Android 8 (Oreo) introduced notification badges (also known as notification dots) it was common for device manufactures to add their own badge counts. However I believe most of them (if not all) have dropped theirs in-favor of Android official supported noted above. Let us know however if this is not the case.

Hi, @jkasten2 Just sharing more details. iOS version is working well, but Android is always increasing the app badge count from 0 although set the count using the FlutterAppBadger.updateBadgeCount(unreadCount)

Can you check the updateBadgeCount func and fix? or suggest to use another func for this case? Thanks.
