Hi....
I'm trying to use Badge counter in my app (show number above the application icon), But I've a problem with Sony Z Ultra ...

In Samsung devices I used this code ( work perfectly):

B4X: 
  Try
        Dim cv As ContentValues
        cv.Initialize
        cv.PutString("package", Application.PackageName)
        cv.PutString("class", Application.PackageName & ".main")
        cv.PutInteger("badgecount", count)
        Dim u As Uri
        u.Parse("content://com.sec.badge/apps")
        cr.Insert(u, cv)
    Catch
    End Try


For Sony I tried this code : (actually I tried to convert it to B4A but without success)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...nt-to-application-icon-on-sony-xperia-devices

Test 1 :
B4X: 
Dim intent As Intent
    Try
        Dim u As Uri
        u.Parse("content://com.sec.badge/apps")

        intent.Initialize("com.sonyericsson.home.action.UPDATE_BADGE","")
        'intent.Initialize(intent.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE,"") (test it too)
       
        intent.Action = "com.sonyericsson.home.action.UPDATE_BADGE"
        intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.ACTIVITY_NAME", Application.PackageName & ".MainActivity")
        intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.SHOW_MESSAGE", True)
        intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.MESSAGE", "11")
        intent.putExtra("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.PACKAGE_NAME", Application.PackageName)
       
        StartActivity(intent)
       
        'Dim jo As JavaObject
        'jo.InitializeContext
        'jo.RunMethod("sendBroadcast", Array(intent))  (test it too)
    Catch
       
    End Try


Test 2 :
B4X: 
Try
        Dim cv As ContentValues
        cv.Initialize
       
        cv.PutString ("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.PACKAGE_NAME" , Application.PackageName)
        cv.PutString ("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.ACTIVITY_NAME", Application.PackageName & ".MainActivity")
        cv.PutString("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.SHOW_MESSAGE" , True)
        cv.PutString("com.sonyericsson.home.intent.extra.badge.MESSAGE", "10")
       
        Dim u As Uri
        u.Parse("content://com.sec.badge/apps")
        cr.Insert(u, cv)
    Catch
    End Try


Permissions :
AddPermission("com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ")
AddPermission("com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE")
AddPermission("com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE")
AddPermission("com.sonyericsson.home.permission.RECEIVE_BADGE")


But did not succeed .

So Where is wrong ?

Thank you .

I tried to add just the Sony Permission :
AddPermission(com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE)

and tried to add all Permissions:
AddPermission(com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ)
AddPermission(com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE)
AddPermission(com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS)
AddPermission(com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT)
AddPermission(com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE)
AddPermission(com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT)
AddPermission(com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE)

but I've got error :
** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **

Based on stackoverflow you need to add the permission in another way

Remove the AddPermission lines from manifest.

Try to add
AddApplicationText(<!-- START: ShortcutBadger -->
<!-- Samsung -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE"/>

<!-- HTC -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT"/>

<!-- Sony -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE"/>

<!-- Apex -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT"/>

<!-- Solid -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE"/>

<!-- Huawei -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<!-- End: ShortcutBadger -->)
