Adding badge number in UItabbarView Controller in runtme

Question

I am trying to add badge number in UITabBarController and it is working . But i started NSTimer . when timer completed . it calls webservice and in return i get badge number .

but when i set badge number to UITabBarController in this senario . it is no more working.

Can you include some code with the timer and the connection management please? — Jeremy, Apr 16 '13 at 09:13

It's hard to tell without seeing your code, but two possibilities spring to mind:

You're trying to set the badge value from a thread that is not the main thread. Try wrapping your badge value setting code in a dispatch_async to the main queue:
```
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
{
    // set badge number    
});
```
The item that you're setting the badgeValue on is nil. Try adding a breakpoint or some NSLog statements to the line where you add the badge number, and check the value of some of the objects isn't nil.
