Showing unread notification count through web manifest

Question

I recently added a web manifest to my webapp following this guide. It works perfectly fine. I have also implemented push notifications. I want to know if there is a way to add an unread notification count like any other android app does indicating number of unread notifications on the launcher icon on the homescreen.

The WICG Badging API will most likely solve this, but it will take some time before browser implement it.
