For those who want to use 4.1x firebase and above, the code had change to as below.

firebase.notifications().setBadge(3);

@kkusanagi I use code but it is work in ios not work android.Please help me!

[kkusanagi]

@HueNguyenFramgia about that, I'm sorry, I'm only tried it on Android.

For firebase IOS, please read through here.
https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/notifications/reference/IOSNotification

Seems like android and iOS are separated.

Or use the original feature in react native as shown here

I also try to use the setBadge on Android and it is not showing the badge.

Using the following code:

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
      ShortcutBadge.setCount(JSON.parse(amount));
}else{
      firebase.notifications().setBadge(JSON.parse(amount));
}

It works on iOS, but on Android it doesn't show the badge. Does anybody got this working?

That library is not maintained and badging on android is basically not supported and thus not a good idea to agree to deliver as a developer. Read up on how it is supported (only some launchers, launcher-specific implementations, specifically not supported in AOSP or on pixels) and best practice on Android is to not do it.
