Yes, seems we need to control the notification more.

@leolin310148 @congdanh1608 @BelongsH Seeing the same blank notification on a Xiaomi Redmi 4 running Android 6.0.1 and MIUI 8.0.3.0.0(MCECNDG). This is due to commit bcb3afd.

It seems with the new MIUI wants you to display a notification to set the badge count.

I did a bit of testing with some different settings to the Notification.Builder and I wasn't able to get the badge value to be set to a custom value without it also showing a notification.

By default, without any code in XiaomiHomeBadger.executeBadge the Xiaomi launcher matches the badge value to the number of currently displayed notifications in the notification shade for your app.

Hi, I saw this issue in Redmi Note 3G (MIUI 8) as well...

Just remove that blank notification by using below code for mi devices:

NotificationManager notoficatioManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notoficatioManager.cancel(0);

I don't have a Xiaomi device to test my app with, so I'd like some clarification: If my app already receives and handles notifications normally, do I need to take any action? It sounds like the badge will just update automatically. Do I still need to use ShortcutBadger.applyNotification()?

As of 1.1.14 of this library ShortcutBadger.applyNotification() no longer has an effect to prevent this bug.

@ygnessin Correct, the launcher by default without any code for MIUI 8 at lest. It may still check for permissions howvever, I have only test with the same AndrdoidManifest.xml permissions this library adds.

If you do need the badge value to differ from the notification count shown in the notification shade you will need to set the count when you display a notification with the below code.

ShortcutBadger.applyNotification(getApplicationContext(), notification, badgeCount);

See this wiki page on the full details of this new method.

@amitsrivastava10 I wouldn't recommend the hack you posted. I haven't tested this but it would probably still show the blank notification for a split second. The new ShortcutBadger.applyNotification method would be the way to go.

@jkasten2 What do you mean about 1.1.14? Does the bug still appear in 1.1.14?

I read that 1.1.14 "Remove Xiaomi from Badger and add Notification Support for Xiaomi devices."

We use 1.1.13 and have people complaining about this bug (for example with Xiaomi Mi5s, Android 6.0.1)

[jkasten2]

@Malachiasz Calling ShortcutBadger.applyCount on 1.1.14 and newer will not should a blank notification for Xiaomi devices any more, the issue was fixed. The badge value will be set the number of notifications in the shade automatically now.

If you want some other custom value you must show some kind of notification to the user and call ShortcutBadger.applyNotification().

[Malachiasz]

@leolin310148 In this case the issue should be closed.

ShortcutBadger 1.1.19 does not work on Redmi-4X, ShortcutBadger.applyNotification() does not work.
