v1.1.21 is not working on Samsung Galaxy S9

[Onkarn92]

Hi Leo,

Details:
Model number: SM-G960F
Android: 8.0.0
Samsung Experience Version: 9.0

I tried with ShortcutBadger app and it is not working on S9, I tried to submit a working status by clicking on "No" button, But the app is showing "Something went wrong" toast.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Onkar

After Samsung Android 8.0, the badge count was counted by OS from notification count.
You can control the badge by set number in notifications.

(OS always overwrite the badge count in minutes)

See: #266

Okay, thanks @firemaples

@Onkarn92 were you able to get this to work as advised? I don't have a Samsung phone to test this on but users report that the badge isn't working on Samsung phones.

[Onkarn92]

@guidedways Yep, It is working fine with setNumber(count) method for notification.

I don't have a Samsung phone to test this on but users report that the badge isn't working on Samsung phones.

On pre-Oreo Samsung phones, The ShortcutBadger should work (at lease working in my case).
Well, You'll need to use the notification if the Android version is 8.0.0 +

NOTE: If notification gets cleared from notification stack, then OS will remove the badge count.

@Onkarn92 Can you please share with me a screenshot of what you see when setNumber() is used? Does the user see a red badge similar to pre-Oreo days?

@guidedways I can't upload a live screenshot at the moment, But you can refer to this:

It looks very similar on my s9 using setNumber() method.

However, You can not change the background color of badge and to reset the count either clear your notification or use setNumber(0) (I'm not sure about this).

2. Samsung running Android 8 is reported as supported, but is not #266
