You'll have to use javascript to append your icon notification and manage it's behavior with AJAX.

Take a look at how Merchant expertise module is doing this: https://github.com/PrestaShop/gamification/blob/master/views/js/gamification.js#L8

Thank u its working..I followed the same procedure in gamification as u said..But i cant understand what ajax doing  .Please explain me what for ajax part(code) is used.Am weak in ajax.

 

$.ajax({

type: 'POST',

url: admin_gamification_ajax_url,

dataType: 'json',

data: {

controller : 'AdminGamification',

action : 'gamificationTasks',

ajax : true,

},

success: function(jsonData)

{

 

 

 

initHeaderNotification(jsonData.header_notification);

 

 

 

$(".preactivationLink").on('click', function(e) {

e.preventDefault();

preactivationLinkClick($(this).attr('rel'), $(this).attr('href'));

});

 

 

}

});
