How to clear notification after reading it from IOS notification center one by one?

Question

In IOS app, is there any options to clear a single notification or marked it as read after tapping on it? My belief is that Apple does not provide this feature. They only provide to clear all the notifications at a time. I searched a lot but didn't find any solution. Though I have found clearing one notification at a time in some apps (ex. Gmail).

Thanks in advance!

You can set the number in this property

 [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber

For example to decrease it by one

[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber -= 1;

To set it to a specific value

[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 5;

But does it clear that particular notification from the notification center after tapping on it? – Kirity Jul 02 '12 at 13:25
Oh, no it just decreases the badge number – Omar Abdelhafith Jul 02 '12 at 13:27
i dont think you can do that in anyway – Omar Abdelhafith Jul 02 '12 at 13:28
You must be able to do this because LinkedIn does it while Instagram doesn't. If you get a push from LinkedIn and then view it it gets cleared from notification Center. But the same doesn't happen with Imstagram. – Andrew May 05 '13 at 08:27

I don't know how this would work with push notifications, but you can cancel individual local notifications like this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];

You can get a reference to the notification that was tapped by the App Delegate application:DidReceiveLocalNotification method.
