How to display the indicator bubble on top of the imageview?

Question

I have a string value (i.e.: numbers 1, 2, 3, ...) and I should display those on the top right corner of my ImageView.
How can I do that in android?
I have attached an image below in which I show arrows: I want something like that to display over my ImageView?

Please anyone can help me out?

try this : create layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/main_widget"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
android:focusable="true" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/icon"
    android:layout_width="60dip"
    android:layout_height="60dip"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:background="@drawable/logo"
    android:contentDescription="image"
    android:scaleType="center" />
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/txt_count"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-10dip"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/icon"
    android:background="@drawable/badge_count2"
    android:contentDescription="badge"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="1"
    android:textColor="@color/White"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:visibility="visible" />

</RelativeLayout>

And create drawable\badge_count2.xml for rectangle

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >

<solid android:color="@color/red" >
</solid>

<stroke
    android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#FFFFFF" >
</stroke>

<padding
    android:bottom="2dp"
    android:left="7dp"
    android:right="7dp"
    android:top="3dp" />

<corners android:radius="10dp" >
</corners>

And create values\color.xml and add:

 <color name="red">#e50822</color>

OutPut:

Update: try to create drawable\badge_count2.xml for circle

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="1.9"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="@color/red" />

<stroke
    android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>

For ease and cover a lot of views you may use View badger library. This library provides different styles and animations for these badgers too. You may find library and demo project here.
