The Badging API is a proposal for web applications (as defined by the Web App Manifest standard) similar to that of IE's pinned sites with purpose:
- To give the application a small but visible place to subtly notify the user that there is new activity that might require their attention, without showing a full notification.
- To indicate a small amount of additional information, such as an unread count or symbol indicating the type of event.
- To allow the application to convey this information regardless of whether any of the application's windows are open.
