I am trying to show a count indicator with some of the associated menu items. How do I go about doing that? I tried creating TextView children for menu items, but they don't seem to work. Here's a mockup of what I am trying to achieve (see notifier next to the Gallery option)

enter image description here

If you are using NavigationView

NavigationView provides a convenient way to build a navigation drawer, including the ability to creating menu items using a menu XML file. We’ve expanded the functionality possible with the ability to set custom views for items via app:actionLayout or using MenuItemCompat.setActionView().

Example

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/nav_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header"
    app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu" />

drawer_menu.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <group android:checkableBehavior="single">
        <item android:id="@+id/nav_item1"
            app:showAsAction="always"
            android:title=""
            app:actionLayout="@layout/menu_item_layout" />
    </group>
</menu>

menu_item_layout.xml

you can customize as you want 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_title"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Item text" />
</RelativeLayout>

  • Hi there. Some general advice about the quote device, which I see you are editing into other people's material as well as your own posts. It looks like the first item is a quote (i.e. the text within comes from a manual or a speech) and the other two are not. In markup this has semantic meaning, which is "someone else said this". If _you_ are saying it, it is not a quote - which would apply to the last two items here. It is not a general highlighter. Hope that helps! – halfer Jan 09 '17 at 20:34
  • @halfer can show me the link where is it mentioned, so I can refer it in a future edit? – N J Jan 10 '17 at 02:11

    I am not sure what you are asking, can you be more specific? If you want to read more about what I've said above, the [HTML blockquote](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=html+blockquote) has the exact same semantic meaning. – halfer Jan 10 '17 at 10:42

    @halfer thanks that's the link I want. Will keep in mind for the future. – N J Jan 10 '17 at 10:45
  • Not the best solution but it shows the only way you can do it in NavigationView. By the way I used `app:actionViewClass="android.widget.ImageButton"` as shown in the [other answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/9529346/1276636). – Sufian Oct 15 '19 at 10:19

you can create FrameLayout in which add your Titile TextView and above that your Count TextView as follows t

<FrameLayout>
    <TextView></TextView> //your titile TextView
    <TextView></TextView> //your count TextView which has gravity of top right and circular background drawable
</FrameLayout>
