Hi,

 

Please take the following steps to show your badge on lockscreen.

First, set badge logo and lockscreen notification in manifest file.

Second, add your app to lockscreen by personalize in control panel.

Third, update the badge with API BadgeUpdateManager and BadgeNotification.

Please visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.notifications.badgeupdatemanager.aspx to learn more about BadgeUpdateManager class.

Here is a sample for this feature http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Advanced-Tiles-Sample-1995ac42
