BuddyPress.org

Hi, we need some urgent advice.

We are completing an app based the buddyPress site we launched years ago.

The badges on the notification will display
1. number of new messages not yet opened by user.
2. new friend request
3. new posts on the forums the user follows.

As the user checks these new messages, the count displayed in the badge will go down.

Something like this:

Or if updating the count is complex, we can go with a badge that clearly indicates there are new messages waiting to be checked.

Like this

We would like to implement something that is simple and robust without much change to our codes already built.

Your suggestion is greatly appreciated.
