iPhone: add badge to icons internal to my app

Question

Hi, I am trying to add badges to the icons in my app. e.g. in the facebook app, in the home page the number of pending requests is shown on the requests icon.

Can someone provide any links/ideas on how to do this?

Thanks, V

Answer 1

The Three20 project (its code is part of the Facebook app) has those badges.

Answer 2

I know this article is a little bit old, but it helps me recently to make a little class to create custom badges. I thought it would be fair to make this class public for everyone. So here it is CustomBadge.
