To get badges, simply defeat the Gym Leader assigned to each badge. Gym Leaders are arranged on the Badge Case in the order you challenge them. Through the trainer card, you can view your Badge Case, which displays portraits of all the Gym Leaders and their respective badges below that.

Just found out today that you can get this scene by having only 4 stars (Gold) trainer card, and she'll be just as impressed. Sad to know that when I get that Black Card, it won't come with anything new.

This was likely just coincidence. As others have pointed out, having 100 different Underground statues gets the other star. I have said star but don't yet have all the apps.
