Can I put HTML in chrome extension's icon

Can I put a HTML code in my chrome extension's icon? According to the Google API (setBadgeText) this isn't possible. Is there any way to put it there?

While .setBadgeText is, as implied by name, text-only, you can draw anything and set that as your icon.

You'll need to draw on a <canvas>, extract image data and use .setIcon({imageData: /*...*/}) to update the icon.

See this question for a brief example, and maybe this article.

It's not quite "using HTML", but with some work you can output anything to your icon.

Badge is plain text only as can be seen in source code. There's no way around.
