How to Implement Notification Badge on TabbedPage in .NET MAUI 8?

Question

Hello,

I have implemented a TabbedPage in my .NET MAUI application using AppTabbedPage.xaml. It contains 5 pages for tab navigation.

One of the tabs is dedicated to notifications, and I need to display a notification badge on this tab. The badge should display a count of notifications and update dynamically as the count changes.

Here are the specific details of what I need:

1. A mechanism to add a notification badge to a specific tab in TabbedPage.
2. A way to dynamically update the badge count based on the current notification count.

Does .NET MAUI provide built-in support for this, or do I need to use a custom solution (e.g., a custom handler)? If so, could you provide an example or point me in the right direction?

Thank you for your help!
