So not sure where you are planning on adding the badge. If you are going to add 
it to your home screen icon you do so by setting 
UIApplication.SharedApplication.ApplicationIconBadgeNumber 
If you want to set it on a tab or a screen inside your app, there is nothing 
built in. I have created UIView that I use. You can find it here:
