You should be able to simply replace this:

@OverRide
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
MenuItem itemData = menu.findItem(R.id.notifications);
NotificationActionView actionView = (NotificationActionView)itemData.getActionView();
actionView.setItemData(itemData);
actionView.setCount(10); // initial value
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}

I've created a new repo with an updated project based on this gist. See https://github.com/slightfoot/android-notification-action-view

@slightfoot Just I'm trying this code, but in my code there are something curious: when i'm running my app on Nexus 5 Android Emulator, and on huawei P6 device too, it is perfect, but i run my app in a Samsung Galaxy device it doesn't appear the "NotificationView". It is so rare... do you know what is the problem?

How can we use a broadcast receiver in the manifest?
