How to add app icon badge in xamarin forms wpf application - xamarin.forms

I need to show unread notification count on a badge in xamarin forms wpf app icon. I have tried with 'xam.plugin.badge' and 'xamarin.badge.plugin' NuGet packages but no luck. I am getting below exception:
Exception :
This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this
assembly. You should reference the NuGet package from your main
application project in order to reference the platform-specific
implementation
.
Please suggest any idea to add badge count in app icon in xamarin forms wpf application.

UWP project added to Xamarin is not compatible with netstandard2.0

I have a Xamarin.Forms app (only doing things for Android now) where I added a project from an UWP app. With this, I get two erros which I cannot solve. I've found some things on the internet, but nothing for my specific situation.
The erros are:
Project UWP.Project is not compatible with netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0).
Project UWP.Project supports: uap10.0.17763 (UAP,Version=v10.0.17763).
Project UWP.Project is not compatible with monoandroid11.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v11.0).
Project UWP.Project supports: uap10.0.17763 (UAP,Version=v10.0.17763).
How do I solve this?
I have a Xamarin.Forms app (only doing things for Android now) where I added a project from an UWP app.
It looks you need to update the UWP project target version to 17763. For adding the new platform for existing Forms app, you may refer to this document. And please note making the following changes to UWP MainPage.xaml
Inside the <Page> tag, add: xmlns:forms=“using:Xamarin.Forms.Platform.UWP

I created the project in vs2017 yet it did not work. now I have added a UWP project to the xamarin form app created using vs2019, how do I link them, how do I connect(refrence) the UWP to the portable library?
I want to make use of the portable library in xamarin forms that ha UWP in it, like vs2017 versions
In VS 2019 version 16.0.0 UWP head project have been removed from the Xamarin.Forms app template. However, if you install latest version of VS 2019 (16.0.1) that option should be available to you. According to the release notes:
Add option for Windows (UWP) platform when creating new Xamarin.Forms project from 'Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms)' project template.
Other then that you could just simply add UWP as a separate project and set it up for Xamarin.Forms.

Ask me if anybody need further clarification.

You can follow the instructions to manually remove component references from your projects from this documentation.
