Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is.
Currently, when adding espresso tests, aiming to cover `BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable` there is no way to write fluent assertions on the badge produced by `BadgeUtils`
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I'd expect to have class similar to i.e. ` androidx.test.espresso.contrib.RecyclerViewActions` which would expose convenient utilities to assert i.e.
`onView(fixtureView).check(matches(hasBadgeDrawable(contentDesritpion = "View updates")))`
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I tried to set `setContentDescriptionNumberless` or `setContentDescriptionQuantityStringsResource` but there is no way to assert them using Espresso :/
I tried to write custom matcher accessing `view#getOverlay` but ViewOverlay's api seems to be too restricted
I tried to use reflection to read `ViewOverlay`'s drawables but this obviously doesn't work on recent android versions
