I think I found it: TEXT TO ARRAY
It splits the text into arrays but I think I can work around it to return the width of the string. If I Pass the number of notifications as a string say "738" I can then set the width of the background rectangle. http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/264519/26425819/1438196524603/unread.jpg?token=Q7Am7EElicWDtAeRUEJSXf432eE%3D And something like "987.." if the number is too large.
