The badge image catalog (Windows Store apps)
A badge can display either a number from 1-99 or a status glyph. This topic lists the badge images available for use on a tile, together with their XML equivalent in the badge template.
Note The badge catalog is not extendable. Only the Windows-provided images listed in this topic can be used on a tile.
