Apple push notification badge number

Question

I have developed server side application to maintain the badge number as increment or decrement after receiving new notification and delete after seeing notification it works fi

Answer 1

It will show until you set it to zero and you can do it with the following code:

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0]

EDIT:
It is more common to set the badge number as you receive the notification, in either application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: or application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: methods of your UIApplicationDelegate class.

You can read more about it in the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide

Answer 2

If you want to change the icon badge automatically use the following code.

    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{

    application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
    NSLog(@"userInfo %@",userInfo);

    for (id key in userInfo) {
        NSLog(@"key: %@, value: %@", key, [userInfo objectForKey:key]);
    }

    [application setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:[[[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"badge"] intValue]];

    NSLog(@"Badge %d",[[[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"badge"] intValue]);

}

We also need to change the php file. So we can get the change the icon badge automatically

// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
    'alert' => $message,
    'sound' => 'default',
    'id' => '135',
    'badge' => 8
    );
