How to create numbers with rounded background in UITableViewCell (like the email app)?

In the email app, on t开发者_运维百科he overview page, you can see a summary of the number of new emails you have in your accounts. Does anyone know how to create the numbers on the rounded background?

It's not a built-in cell style but should be pretty easy to mimic.

Add a UILabel to the cell set its font, textColor and backgroundColor. To get the rounded corners, play with label.layer.cornerRadius.
