I just recently received a Top Developer badge (November, 2012). I wanted to post my numbers for those who are curious.
I'm a part-time, doing-this-for-fun developer, and I'm the founder and only employee of Joko Interactive. You can check out my apps here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Joko+Interactive. I've got 4 live wallpapers which have been pretty successful, each has over a million free downloads. My total downloads are somewhere around 6 million. 3 of the 4 have been featured on the front page of the market, which I think has directly lead to both the high downloads and the TD badge. They're all rated 4 stars or higher as well. My first LWP that was featured was hand-picked by someone at Google who handles the Personalization section's featured stuff. I just got an email saying they liked it and wanted to feature it. My next two were featured soon after they were published with no correspondence. I guess at some point my stats hit some red flags which puts me up for consideration for the TD badge. I have no idea how that was handled, I wasn't notified of the change. I just noticed the badge one day. Hope all that helps!
