@sportzbee I added the badge to the ToolbarItem for iOS using a custom renderer as explained in this blog post.

By the way, if anyone has been able to do the same for Android, I'm interested, I've googled for a solution without any luck.

How can i use it? I have grid and inside it i have 7 image(Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" and so on) how can i do to show badge each cell? The values that will be shown comes from a method like this(the value to be show is resultado):

decimal realizado = 0;
                        decimal previsto = 0;

                        foreach (var item in indItem)
                        {
                            var val = item.Nome == "Previsto" ? previsto = item.Valor : realizado = item.Valor;
                        }

                        decimal desvio = Math.Abs(previsto - realizado);

                        if (desvio < 1000)
                            resultado = Math.Truncate(desvio).ToString();
                        else
                            while (desvio >= 1000 && siglas.Count > 0)
                            {
                                desvio /= 1000;
                                resultado = Math.Truncate(desvio) + siglas[0];
                                siglas.RemoveAt(0);
                            }

                        if (CorIndicador == "VERDE")
                            image.Source = ImageSource.FromResource("Estapar.AppOperacional.Images.faturamento caixa-28.png");
                        else
                        {
                            var pinta = CorIndicador == "VERMELHO" ? image.Source = ImageSource.FromResource("Estapar.AppOperacional.Images.faturamento caixa-26.png") : image.Source = ImageSource.FromResource("Estapar.AppOperacional.Images.faturamento caixa-27.png");
                        }
                        label.Text = resultado;


and my xaml is like this


<ContentPage.Content>
        <StackLayout Padding="0" Spacing="0" Margin="0">
            <Grid x:Name="grd" RowSpacing="1" ColumnSpacing="1" Padding="0" Margin="0" >
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>

                <RowDefinition Height="*" />
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <Image x:Name="imgDesvioFat" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Source="{local:ImageResource Operacional.Images.faturamento caixa-28.png}" Aspect="AspectFill">
                        <Image.GestureRecognizers>
                            <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnDesvioFaturamentoTapReconizerTapped" NumberOfTapsRequired="1"></TapGestureRecognizer>
                        </Image.GestureRecognizers>
                    </Image>
                    
                    <!--<Label x:Name="lblFaturamento" Text="" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" TextColor="White" FontSize="9" FontAttributes="Bold" />-->    
                  
                <!--</Grid>-->
                <Image x:Name="imgTckCancelados" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Source="{local:ImageResource Operacinal.Images.tickets cancelados-05.png}" Aspect="AspectFill">
                    <Image.GestureRecognizers>
                        <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnTckCanceladosTapGestureReconizerTapped" NumberOfTapsRequired="1"></TapGestureRecognizer>
                    </Image.GestureRecognizers>
                </Image>
