1. If you mean like this
   

   Then here is an handy class to get it done very quickly:

   /**
   * add_num_to_admin_menu
   * @author Ohad Raz <admin@bainternet.info>
   */
   class add_num_to_admin_menu
   {
       public $menus = array();
       /**
        * Class constructor
        * @author Ohad Raz <admin@bainternet.info>
        * 
        * @param array $args menu => number format
        */
       function __construct($args = array()){
           if (!is_admin())return;
           $this->menus = $args;
           add_filter( 'add_menu_classes', array($this,'_Add_num'));
       }
       /**
        * the actual function that adds the number to the menu
        * 
        * @author Ohad Raz <admin@bainternet.info>
        * @param  array $menu admin menu
        * @return array
        */
       function _Add_num($menu){
           //var_dump($menu);
           foreach ((array)$this->menus as $name => $number) {
               // loop through $menu items, find match, add indicator
               foreach( $menu as $menu_key => $menu_data ) {
                   if( $name != $menu_data[2] )
                       continue;
                   $menu[$menu_key][0] .= " <span class='update-plugins count-$number'><span class='plugin-count'>" . number_format_i18n($number) . '</span></span>';
               }
           }
   
           return $menu;
       }
       /**
        * Add a number to a menu
        * 
        * @author Ohad Raz <admin@bainternet.info>
        * @param string $menu  menu to add the number to
        * @param int $number number to add
        */
       function addMenuNum($menu,$number){
           $this->menus[$menu] = $number;
       }
   }
   

   Usage:

   //create an instance of the class
   $obj = new add_num_to_admin_menu();
   //add a number to a menu node
   $obj->addMenuNum('edit.php',7);
   //repeat as many times as needed
   $obj->addMenuNum('upload.php',20);
   $obj->addMenuNum('link-manager.php',15);
   $obj->addMenuNum('users.php',10);
