How to add notification in chrome extension.

[RubaN Silva]

Hi, 

I am newbie to create chrome extension. I created one chrome extension that fetches latest news from rss feed. I need a notification on the right top of the icon of my own when i post any news in my site.

Thanks

I personally do not have anything very simple in my own projects, though my Rizzoma Notifier extension uses browser action badges.  Is your code available to view somewhere?

I am not sure I understand what sort of notification you want to create.  To display a short bit of content, you could use desktop notifications.  If you want to add, for instance, an unread count on top of your extension icon, you could use a browser action badge.

Browser actions support a bit of badge text, optionally with a background color. See

I commented on the Stack Overflow post, but I will repost my comment here.  If you are trying to display a browser action badge (a small number that appears on top of your extension's toolbar icon), you can set/change that by calling chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText.  The code you posted on that Stack Overflow post does not call any chrome.* APIs.

As stated in the API documentation, chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText takes an object literal as its only argument, and that object literal contains the arguments you want to pass.

For example, to display “hello” in a browser action badge, you would use the following command:

chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({ text: 'hello' });
