Using Badge Subview of TabBarItem Elsewhere

Question

Since Apple doesn't seem to provide a public means of creating notification badges wherever you like, I was wondering if it was;

A) Possible to reference the subview of a tabbar/tabbaritem that is the badge indicator? B) If so, is it kosher to use/duplicate this view for use within my own view?
