I know this has been solved already,but I thought I might add what I have discovered to this answer for the sake of completeness.

You can also just add MKNumberBadgeView directly to the view for the UIBarButtonItem. Using Monotouch (C#), this is how you get the view for the UIBarButtonItem

        //barbutton is some UIBarButtonItem. Make sure to check for view. In
        //ViewDidLoad(), the view for the barbutton might not exist yet.
        Selector sel = new Selector("view");
        var handle = Messaging.intptr_objc_msgSend(barbutton.Handle, sel.Handle);
        var view = Runtime.GetNSObject(handle) as UIView;
        var mkBadge = ...    //the badge
        view.Add(badge);
        view.Layer.ZPosition =  

I'm sure it's easy to convert this to Obj-C. You will also need to play around with the Frame for the badge to get it to show up in the right place.

This way you wont have to remove/add the view from the navigationbar.
