ABOUT Google Play Developer Term Violation

If you receive mail from Google contains message like :

    REASON FOR WARNING: Violation of section 4.4 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.

Please use version 1.1.0+

CHANGE LOG

1.1.3:

Deprecate SamsungBadger and LGBadger, those devices can use DefaultBadger

1.1.2:

Add support for 'com.miui.mihome2'

1.1.1:

Add DefaultBadger because some launchers use android.intent.action.BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE to update count.

Since the ShortcutBadgerException is helpless. So change api to set badge and never have to handle the exception again.

1.1.0:

Remove Android Launcher support due to Google Play Developer Term Violation since 4.4

1.0.10:

Add Asus launcher support.

1.0.9:

Add xiaomi launcher support.
