Is it possible to overlay a notification icon with some text/int? or is it possible to generate a custom icon on the fly?

For example I have the current icon displayed for my notification, I would like to be able to display for example the number 2 within the red box.

icon

As this is not a count of notifications ( so not the red bubble ), the setting the “number” in the notification will not work.

Will I have to just create an individual icon for every possible number I wish to display? Or is there a better way of achieving this?

    Try using AnimationDrawable’s. You can use them to combine multiple drawables into a single one, and select the one you want to display. I really think, this is the way to go.

    Off course, you will have to provide individual drawables for all your Integers you want to display, but this way, you can easily change the appearance of your notifications
