Description

Expected behavior

Jetpack badge should be read in TalkBack.

Actual behavior

Jetpack badge is not read, though Jetpack banner is. Verified in "Home" tab, "Me", and Activity log. Suspect this is the case for Jetpack badge everywhere.

I discovered this in Activity log, where the Jetpack badge is not read when viewing individual events.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open the WordPress app to a screen with the Jetpack badge (not banner).
  2. Turn on TalkBack (press and hold the + and - volume buttons for 3 seconds).
  3. Using TalkBack, navigate through the items on the screen.
  4. Note that when you get to the Jetpack badge, it is skipped - neither highlighted nor read.

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 12, WPAndroid 20.5-rc-2

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with TalkBack on the Home tab, Me, and Activity log using the listed Android setup, comparing the Jetpack badge with the readable banner. No file or test is named, so locate the shared badge entry point from those screens. Done means the badge is highlighted and read when navigating with TalkBack.
