Hi everyone,  
I’d like to enable **notification badge display** (the red dot with numbers on the app icon) for my Adalo app.

Is there an **optimal method** to achieve this?  
For example, should I use **OneSignal** for this, or is there a simpler recommended approach within Adalo itself?

Any clear guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Yuki.O,

Unfortunately, you can’t do it with Adalo itself. Personally I doubt there are any workarounds, but I might be wrong.

Best,  
Victor.

Hi, let me tell you what I’m implementing in some apps.

In the user database, I’m adding a numeric property: unread notifications.

On the home page, I create an action on the screen that updates the logged-in user’s unread notifications. I use a mathematical formula (all notifications where the recipient is a logged-in user, or if you’re managing by ID, notifications where the recipient is a logged-in user but read, which is true). This saves a number that can be 0 or greater than zero.

On the home page, I add a button (I design it with a round number of 20 or whatever you like). I put a button with the bell icon in the outline, and in additional state 1, I put a red button with the bell logo, and I add the number of unread notifications in the text. This button will be active when the logged-in user’s unread notifications are greater than zero.

This helps me greatly reduce components, functionality, and visibility on the page.

I hope my idea helps you!

The design of the end button of yours, for example in some apps we use round 5, 10, 12 .. but I think it is an interesting way to do it without so many complications and resources
