Answer 1

possible duplicate. see here . It seems you need to inherit UIBarButtonItem and create your own custom view with a UIButton with a subview of the badge you need to add. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Please use this

UILabel *labelforNavigationTitle = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
labelforNavigationTitle.font = [UIFont fontWithName:FONTSAVINGSBOND size:30.0];//SavingsBond
labelforNavigationTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];  
labelforNavigationTitle.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
labelforNavigationTitle.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
labelforNavigationTitle.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; // change this color

labelforNavigationTitle.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Text you want", @"");
self.navigationItem.titleView = labelforNavigationTitle;
[labelforNavigationTitle sizeToFit];

Please use this code by setting the frame according to you images. Because you have already added images to your project, just put the label next to them wherever you want.

Hope this helps.

I think this would help you.

 UIView *msgView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 40, 40)];
    UIImageView *Messageview =[[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"message.png"]];

    Messageview.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20);

    [msgView addSubview:Messageview];

    UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 0, 20, 20)];
    [lbl setText:@"Text"];
    [msgView addSubview:lbl];
UIBarButtonItem *MessageBtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:msgView];
