Show "unread" count on badge in Teams tab
Hi
We are showing a intranet webpage in Teams through a custom Tab.
On the linked webpage we use the microsoftTeams Javascript SDK.
The page returns a list and a number of intranet tasks (some kind of todo). I would like to display the number of tasks todo as a badge on the icon of the app, just like the unread count in a Team channel, so the user doens't have to actively check the page, but is informed of new things to do through the badge.
I can't find a method on how to make this possible. Anyone can help me out? Search engines don't help me out either. Is it even possible for a custom app/tab?

TombaDiBomba It's not possible, there is no badge area against a tab.
The recommended design for Teams apps is to send messages to the activity feed, then a user can review the updates from your app alongside other activity.
StevenC365 Thanks for responding. Too bad, hopefully somewhere in the future.
