To implement the correct badge modification effect, please first add the Huawei phone badge read/write permission for your application by adding the following permission configuration under the manifest tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file of the application:
Be sure to enable the Huawei channel in the console and enter the Activity class, such as com.test.badge.MainActivity, of the application entry corresponding to the desktop icon in the parameter configuration area. Otherwise, the badge settings will not take effect.
Getting startup class name:
Drag and drop the packaged APK file into AndroidStudio. Enter the AndroidManifest.xml file in the package and search for the keywords "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" in the file. The activity.name attribute found is the startup class name.
