iPhone app showing "1" near app icon

Question

I have created a new iPhone app using objective-c (no phonegap etc.). When I am installing it on an iPhone 5 / iPhone 6 (iOS8), it is showing a 1, as if there was a notification, on the top right corner of the app icon immediately after its installation. Why is this and how can I remove it?

The app uses push notifications, but immediately after installation there should be no notification for the app.

You probably had a badge count of `1` before you uninstalled the app. iOS doesn't appear to reset this when you delete the app. — rebello95, Jan 27 '15 at 02:57

do you want reset app badge number to 0 ?

try:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];

To me it looks like you had some badge set to the app & your removed the app from the device. So the best thing is that to change the application badge to nil in appDidFinishLaunchWithOptions.

Compile & create a build, Install app. Run it once. you will have the badge removed by then. Then just remove that extra line you have added in appDidFinishLaunchWithOptions.
