You can use the BadgeDrawable provided by the Material Components Library.

Something like:

    fab.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            BadgeDrawable badgeDrawable = BadgeDrawable.create(MainActivity.this);
            badgeDrawable.setNumber(2);
            //Important to change the position of the Badge
            badgeDrawable.setHorizontalOffset(30);
            badgeDrawable.setVerticalOffset(20);

            BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, fab, null);

            fab.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
        }
    });

Currently (1.3.0-alpha02) there isn't a method to change the radius, but you can override this dimen in your project (dimens.xml):

12dp
