For Tabs it is built in – UITabBarItem has a SetBadgeValue property. Setting it to any string displays that string (including an empty string). To hide the badge value, pass in null.

So not sure where you are planning on adding the badge. If you are going to add it to your home screen icon you do so by setting UIApplication.SharedApplication.ApplicationIconBadgeNumber If you want to set it on a tab or a screen inside your app, there is nothing built in. I have created UIView that I use. You can find it here: https://github.com/Clancey/ClanceyLib/blob/master/ClanceysLib/Navigation/NavIconBadge.cs -- James Clancey On Monday, February 6, 2012 at 11:00 AM, Jason Awbrey wrote: I think they're called "badges" when used with home screen icons - not sure if there is a different term within an app On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 1:55 PM, MilkyJoe <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'm writing an RSS reader for a client. There are to be a number of categories (feeds) that are available via the app. It will present the categories in a list that, when clicked, will take the user to the feed's article summary. What I need to add, however, is one of those "new items" information icons - I have no idea what they're actually called. I need to display a little red circle icon next to the category in the list, that shows how many new articles have been appeared since the last refresh. I've been looking for examples of how to achieve this in MonoTouch, but I've yet to find anything (probably because I don't know what they're called). Can anyone point me in the right direction? What should I be looking for?
