                .append(getResources().getString(stringRes))

In case you like a native solution, you could look into BadgeDrawable .

Two caveats:

• Note: This is still under development and may not support the full range of customization Material Android components generally support (eg themed attributes).
• You can't set the badge text, only int s, but this seems fine for your usecase
