Has anyone looked into this? Trying to figure out the cleanest way possible.
its pretty simple to do with the Toolbar Widget

first create an Oval shape
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#ff00"/>
</shape>
then create a toolbar
widget as below:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
android:background="?colorPrimary">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/openMenu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="@drawable/ic_menu"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/badger"
android:layout_width="16dp"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="end|right|top"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="@drawable/badge"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="1"
android:textColor="@color/white"/>
