Correct.  GCM does have allowances for grouping push messages but that 
isn't quite the same thing as Badges.

 From what I understand, badges are a hack in iOS to get around the lack 
of a proper Notification System before version 5.  In Android to get 
similar behavior the user would have to install a widget on their 
launcher which looked like the icon for the app but updated with the 
number of notifications.  It is my advised opinion that the 
notification shade should be used instead.
