I want to know if LTI apps can deliver notifications badges like shown in the screenshot. For that matter, does Canvas have badges on tabs natively?
Hi Wasi --
There isn't a way to deliver badges on navigation items like this via LTI; the standard protocol doesn't include that functionality. I think in order to change the UI like that you'd need to use some custom Javascript that would need to be installed via the Theme editor -- probably not really scalable if you're looking to build a tool that's generally usable in multiple Canvas instances.

I looked through the LTI Variable Substitutions documentation and while there are variable substitutions available for Canvas.term.name and Canvas.term.id (which is the Canvas incremented ID like "104"), I was surprised to see there was no option for Canvas.term.sisSourceId I tried testing other possible variants that may…
