React-native-push-notification: create badge number icon in Android

[nidzovito]

How can I create Badge Icon in Android like iOS?
In the readme file it says
"PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(number: number)
Works natively in iOS.
Uses the ShortcutBadger on Android, and as such will not work on all Android devices."

But https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger is not a react native library

@georgi-kovachev Here is an example

import React from 'react'
import { Button, ScrollView, Text, KeyboardAvoidingView } from 'react-native'
import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'

// Styles
import { Colors } from '../Themes/'

import styles from './Styles/NotificationsScreenStyle'

class NotificationsScreen extends React.Component {
  showNotification () {
    PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(1)

    PushNotification.localNotification({
      /* Android Only Properties */
      id: '0', // (optional) Valid unique 32 bit integer specified as string. default: Autogenerated Unique ID
      ticker: 'My Notification Ticker', // (optional)
      autoCancel: true, // (optional) default: true
      largeIcon: 'ic_launcher', // (optional) default: "ic_launcher"
      smallIcon: 'ic_notification', // (optional) default: "ic_notification" with fallback for "ic_launcher"
      bigText: 'Ditt fordon med registreringsnummer ANE486 ska besiktigas om en vecka', // (optional) default: "message" prop
      subText: 'Det närmar sig', // (optional) default: none
      color: Colors.primary, // (optional) default: system default
      vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true
      vibration: 300, // vibration length in milliseconds, ignored if vibrate=false, default: 1000
      tag: 'some_tag', // (optional) add tag to message
      group: 'group', // (optional) add group to message
      ongoing: false, // (optional) set whether this is an "ongoing" notification

      /* iOS and Android properties */
      title: 'Besiktningspåminnelse', // (optional, for iOS this is only used in apple watch, the title will be the app name on other iOS devices)
      message: 'Det är snart dags att besiktiga ditt fordon', // (required)

      playSound: false, // (optional) default: true
      number: '10', // (optional) Valid 32 bit integer specified as string. default: none (Cannot be zero)
      repeatType: 'minute' // (Android only) Repeating interval. Could be one of `week`, `day`, `hour`, `minute, `time`. If specified as time, it should be accompanied by one more parameter 'repeatTime` which should the number of milliseconds between each interval
    })
  }

  render () {
    return (
      <ScrollView style={styles.container}>
        <KeyboardAvoidingView behavior='position'>
          <Text>NotificationsScreen Screen</Text>
          <Button
            onPress={() => this.showNotification()}
            title='Show notification'
          />
        </KeyboardAvoidingView>
      </ScrollView>
    )
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {}
}

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
  return {}
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(NotificationsScreen)

The suggested solution works when used in tandem, but doesn't if only setApplicationIconBadgeNumber is invoked.
