That seems odd. Are you saying that no dock icons ever show a badge on 10.15.7?

On my 10.15.6, I see dock badges on System Preferences, App Store, and Feedback Assistant. How are they accomplishing this? Do Apple apps use a private API?

I’m suspicious that the problem is in the JDK, in which case it should be fixable.
