setBadgeNumber not working

[michelsondan]

I am trying to set badge with my app logic, and it is not working. it's reseting the current badge.

` window.FirebasePlugin.setBadgeNumber(myCount, function () {
alert('success')
},
function (err) {
alert(err)
})

the function is running and display the alert 'success' on done event, but the badge is not set to my request number.

I have tested it also with example project.
I see in log, that it is increment, but no badge number on app icon.
after sending push notification, I see the badge number set by system,
but after click on the button "Increment badge number", the badge is disappeared.

Tested on Android Redmi Note 4
Android system NRD9OM 7.0

Thank You!

OK, thanks for the info, I will add to list for investigation

Upon investigation, the library used by this plugin to set the badge number on Android will not work on Android 8 and above.
As stated here, there's no way to programmatically set the badge number on Android 8+ without sending/displaying a notification.

Therefore I'm going to remove setBadgeNumber() and getBadgeNumber() from the Android implementation and make them iOS-only methods.
