RKNotificationHub
A way to quickly add a notification icon to a UIView (iOS6 and up). Support
Code:
  RKNotificationHub* hub = [[RKNotificationHub alloc]initWithView:yourView]; // sets the count to 0
  [hub increment]; // increments the count to 1, making the notification visible 
Pod
    pod 'RKNotificationHub'
 
USAGE
  [hub increment]; 
  -(void)increment;
  -(void)incrementBy:(int)amount;
  -(void)decrement;
  -(void)decrementBy:(int)amount;
  @property (nonatomic, assign) int count; //%%% set to a certain number 
Combine Actions!
  [hub increment];
  [hub pop]; 
CUSTOMIZE
  //%%% COLOR
  [hub setCircleColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.98 green:0.66 blue:0.2 alpha:1]
           labelColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; 
  //%%% CIRCLE FRAME
  [hub setCircleAtFrame:CGRectMake(-10, -10, 30, 30)]; //frame relative to the view you set it to
  //%%% MOVE FRAME
  [hub moveCircleByX:-5 Y:5]; // moves the circle 5 pixels left and down from its current position
  //%%% CIRCLE SIZE
  [hub scaleCircleSizeBy:2]; // doubles the size of the circle, keeps the same center 
  //%%% BLANK BADGE
  [hub hideCount];

TROUBLESHOOTING
Notification isn't showing up!
- If the hub value is < 1, the circle hides. Try calling 
[increment] - Make sure the view you set the hub to is visible (i.e. did you call 
[self.view addSubview: yourView]?) - Make sure you didn't call 
[hideCount]anywhere. Call[showCount]to counter this 
It isn't incrementing / decrementing properly!
- I've written it so that any count < 1 doesn't show up. If you need help customizing this, reach out to me
 
The circle is in a weird place
- If you want to resize the circle, use 
[scaleCircleSizeBy:]. 0.5 will give you half the size, 2 will give you double - If the circle is just a few pixels off, use 
[moveCircleByX: Y:]. This shifts the circle by the number of pixels given - If you want to manually set the circle, call 
[setCircleAtFrame:]and give it your own CGRect 
Something else isn't working properly

 - Use github's issue reporter on the right
 - Send me an email [email protected] (might take a few days)
