Description

(I've deleted the other two icons from the screenshot.)
I'm not 100% what the right behavior here is, but I think most things that were aligned to the right (e.g. the FAB) alight to the left when using an RTL locale (here, I'm using AR (XB) from https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/pseudolocales).
However, the badge is aligned to the right still.
As far as I know, materials design doesn't mention these badges to go on the Bottom Navigation View, so there isn't any authority here as to what the "right" thing to do is. I think that it should align to the left. I feel like raising an issue is the bet place for that discussion!

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the Bottom Navigation badge behavior with the AR (XB) RTL locale, then inspect the badge positioning and determine the agreed end-of-layout behavior; done means the badge follows the chosen RTL alignment consistently.
