flutter_native_badge

Wrapper for native badge APIs on iOS and macOS. It allows you to change the badge of your app icon, by setting the count, showing red dot, clearing the badge and getting the current badge count.

It supports iOS and macOS for now. Other platforms are not supported yet.

Usage

Before using any of the methods, you should check if the platform is supported. If not, the methods will throw an unsupported exception.

Each method will check if the permission is granted if you set the requestPermission parameter to true. If not, it will not request the permission and the method may not work if the permission is not granted.

Import

import 'package:flutter_native_badge/flutter_native_badge.dart';

Check if the platform is supported

bool isSupported = await FlutterNativeBadge.isSupported();

Set badge count

FlutterNativeBadge.setBadgeCount(5);

Show red dot

FlutterNativeBadge.showRedDot();

Clear badge count

FlutterNativeBadge.clearBadgeCount();

Get badge count

int badgeCount = await FlutterNativeBadge.getBadgeCount();

For iOS: getBadgeCount depends on deprecated API and could be unavailable in future iOS releases! There aren't any replacements in iOS SDK. If you use getBadgeCount now, you had better to consider how to manage the count yourself.

Request permission

Each method has a requestPermission parameter. If you set it to true, it will request the permission if it is not granted.

FlutterNativeBadge.setBadgeCount(5, requestPermission: true);

FlutterNativeBadge.showRedDot(requestPermission: true);

FlutterNativeBadge.clearBadgeCount(requestPermission: true);

int badgeCount = await FlutterNativeBadge.getBadgeCount(requestPermission: true);
