Android support, at least #87

This API seems nice but the problem is it's not supported by Android! (or iOS...)

https://github.com/w3c/badging/blob/main/explainer.md

On Android, badging is blocked at an OS level, as there is no API for setting a badge without also displaying a notification. However, a badge will already be displayed if a PWA has pending notifications (it just doesn’t allow the fine grained control proposed by this API).

If this badging API is to have ANY form of adoption then Google need to at least be a part of this proposal to allow setting of badges in Android.... have the w3c made any proposals or been in communication with Android team?

This is outside the scope of the standardization effort, I'm afraid.

It sounds like this is getting support in WebKit at the moment (at least for PWAs on iOS) (see @marcoscaceres' comment below) https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223906

Note that landing in WebKit doesn't imply support in Safari.

As stated in the pull request: "Engine support does not mean browser support."

@garygreen, now supported in macOS and iOS betas :)
