+If you wish to be informed for subscription count events, use the `bind` function to listen to event type `pusher:subscription_count`:
+
+```java
+Channel channel = pusher.subscribe("my-channel");
+channel.bind("pusher:subscription_count", new SubscriptionEventListener() {
+    @Override
+    public void onEvent(PusherEvent event) {
