            return true;

            // If you want to update
            mNotificationCounter--;
            BadgeCounter.update(item, mNotificationCounter);
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

You can set an icon drawable or icon res, textColor just in white (for now), and you change color to badge (Defaul is RED). Remember the specific sizes for these types of icons, you can use https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-generic.html
