The two plugins refrenced in the other answers are now available on server-side PhoneGap Build too:

  • <gap:plugin name="de.appplant.cordova.plugin.badge" /> (plugin 384)
  • <gap:plugin name="com.phonegap.plugins.pushplugin" /> (plugin 324)

They report to be working with latest 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 versions of PhoneGap.

If you're planning on using push notifications, you might want to use this plugin: https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin

It has this function for setting the badge number:

pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successHandler, errorHandler, event.badge);

The plugin I found here is a bit old but it might still work.
