MaterialBadgeTextView

As the name describes, this is an Android library that you can use to show new messages badge and new features badge, for example in some IM App such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeicChat.
More importantly, it has a default shadow like FAB(Floating Action Button) and it's more simple to use just like ordinary TextView. Only one java Class and no png or xml drawable resource file.

Why you need this library

1. You know, the Shadow & Elevation is Material Design core element. So...
2. Like TextView, you didn't need to care about background shadow, width, height, visible, gone and the limit of numbers. Just set text, textColor and TextSize in layout xml, or call setBadgeCount(), setHighLightMode() method in source code...
