Create a layout with one Textview like below.



<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/notification_badge"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:background="@drawable/circlebackground" // Circle background view
android:padding="3dp"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textSize="10sp"
tools:text="9+" />

</FrameLayout>


After initializing the BottomNavgationView, you have to inflate the layout and select the index of View item and set the count.



    BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation);
BottomNavigationMenuView bottomNavigationMenuView =
(BottomNavigationMenuView) bottomNavigationView.getChildAt(0);
View v = bottomNavigationMenuView.getChildAt(1);
BottomNavigationItemView itemView = (BottomNavigationItemView) v;

View badge = LayoutInflater.from(this)
.inflate(R.layout.homescreen_count, bottomNavigationMenuView, false);
TextView tv = badge.findViewById(R.id.notification_badge);
tv.setText("22+");
itemView.addView(badge);

    Just made your custom own bottom bar from horizontal recyclerview, and the class as view and you can have everything at the bottom bar. dont forget Spacing decorator & menu parser if needed.
    Can sent you my solution if You want.

      First you need to add app:actionLayout in menu file's item where you want to show badge of your BottomNavigationView like this



      <item
      android:id="@+id/navigation_chat"
      app:actionLayout="@layout/unread_message_layout"
      android:icon="@drawable/selector_bottom_navigation_chat"
      android:title=""
      app:showAsAction="always" />


      where unread_message_layout is the layout which has badge something like below



      enter image description here



      Here is the XML of that layout



      <FrameLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent">

      <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
      android:id="@+id/tvUnreadChats"
      android:layout_width="@dimen/_15sdp"
      android:layout_height="@dimen/_15sdp"
      android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
      android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_5sdp"
      android:background="@drawable/red_circle"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:textColor="@android:color/white"
      android:textSize="@dimen/_7sdp"
      android:visibility="visible"
      tools:text="5" />
      </FrameLayout>


      and in your activity where BottomNavigationView is available, add this to show badges



      var mbottomNavigationMenuView = binding.bottomNavigationView.getChildAt(0) as BottomNavigationMenuView
      var chatBadge = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.unread_message_layout,
      mbottomNavigationMenuView, false)
      var itemView = mbottomNavigationMenuView.getChildAt(2) as BottomNavigationItemView

      val tvUnreadChats = chatBadge.findViewById(R.id.tvUnreadChats) as TextView
      tvUnreadChats.text = "1"//String that you want to show in badge
      itemView.addView(chatBadge)


      Here getChildAt(2) is third item in my BottomNavigationView

                          First you need to add app:actionLayout in menu file's item where you want to show badge of your BottomNavigationView like this



                          <item
                          android:id="@+id/navigation_chat"
                          app:actionLayout="@layout/unread_message_layout"
                          android:icon="@drawable/selector_bottom_navigation_chat"
                          android:title=""
                          app:showAsAction="always" />


                          where unread_message_layout is the layout which has badge something like below



                          enter image description here



                          Here is the XML of that layout



                          <FrameLayout
                          android:layout_width="match_parent"
                          android:layout_height="match_parent">

                          <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
                          android:id="@+id/tvUnreadChats"
                          android:layout_width="@dimen/_15sdp"
                          android:layout_height="@dimen/_15sdp"
                          android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
                          android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_5sdp"
                          android:background="@drawable/red_circle"
                          android:gravity="center"
                          android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                          android:textSize="@dimen/_7sdp"
                          android:visibility="visible"
                          tools:text="5" />
                          </FrameLayout>


                          and in your activity where BottomNavigationView is available, add this to show badges



                          var mbottomNavigationMenuView = binding.bottomNavigationView.getChildAt(0) as BottomNavigationMenuView
                          var chatBadge = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.unread_message_layout,
                          mbottomNavigationMenuView, false)
                          var itemView = mbottomNavigationMenuView.getChildAt(2) as BottomNavigationItemView

                          val tvUnreadChats = chatBadge.findViewById(R.id.tvUnreadChats) as TextView
                          tvUnreadChats.text = "1"//String that you want to show in badge
                          itemView.addView(chatBadge)


                          Here getChildAt(2) is third item in my BottomNavigationView
