NOTE: This component is still under development and may not support the full
range of customization Material Android components generally support (e.g.
themed attributes).
A `BadgeDrawable` represents dynamic information such as a number of pending
requests in a [`BottomNavigationView`](BottomNavigationView.md) or
[`TabLayout`](TabLayout.md).

## Usage
Create an instance of `BadgeDrawable` by calling `create(Context)` or
`createFromAttributes(Context, AttributeSet, int, int)}`.
How to add and display a `BadgeDrawable` on top of its anchor view depends on
the API level:
In API 18+ (APIs supported by
[ViewOverlay](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewOverlay))
1. Add `BadgeDrawable` as a
[ViewOverlay](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewOverlay)
to the desired anchor view.
1. Update the `BadgeDrawable`'s coordinates (center and bounds) based on its
anchor view.
Both of the above steps have been encapsulated in a util method:
```java
BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, anchor, null);
```
In Pre API-18
1. Set `BadgeDrawable` as the foreground of the anchor view's FrameLayout
ancestor.
1. Update the `BadgeDrawable`'s coordinates (center and bounds) based on its
anchor view (relative to its FrameLayout ancestor's coordinate space),
Both of the above steps have been encapsulated in a util method:
```java
BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, anchor, anchorFrameLayoutParent);
```
### `BadgeDrawable` Gravity Modes
BadgeDrawable provides 4 pre-packaged gravity modes that control how the badge
aligns with respect to its anchor view. By default (`TOP_END`), badge aligns to
the top and end edges of the anchor (with some offsets). The other options are
`TOP_START`, `BOTTOM_START` and `BOTTOM_END`.
### BadgeDrawable Attributes
Feature | Relevant attributes
------------- | -----------------------------------------------
Color | `app:backgroundColor` <br> `app:badgeTextColor`
Label | `app:number`
Label Length | `app:maxCharacterCount`
Badge Gravity | `app:badgeGravity`
### Talkback Support
`BadgeDrawable` provides a getter for its content description, which is based on
the number (if any) being displayed. Users should specify content description:
`setContentDescriptionNumberless(CharSequence)`
`setContentDescriptionQuantityStringsResource(@StringRes)`
