Showing and deleting number on badge depending upon the Apple Push Notifications

Question

I have an app where I am using apple push notifications. Now I need to show the badge number depending upon the notifications, and I also need to decrease the badge number accordingly. I know this method is used for showing badge, but I am getting how to implement it.

 [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = badgeNumer;

Can anyone help me with this?

You can use your code inside this method to show badge number.

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

Will this method get called when the app is not in background or foreground that means app is not launched yet? – jailani Jul 04 '14 at 11:11

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

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0]

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
