 func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any],
 fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping
 (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {

if let aps = userInfo["aps"] as? NSDictionary, let _ = aps["alert"] as?   String, let sound = aps["sound"] as? String
         {

             if let systemSound = SystemSoundID(sound) {
             AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(systemSound)
         }

         NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name(rawValue: SystemSetting.refreshCouponListNotification), object: nil)

Follow these steps to set badge count in iOS :

1.Implement logic to calculate count in backend and send that count through Push notification like :

{ "aps" : { "alert" : "You got your Push Message.", "badge" : 9 } }

2.Get Badge count from Push notification response :

let pushContent = response.notification.request.content
let badgeCount = content.badge as! Int

3.set badge count in didReceiveRemoteNotification method :

UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber = badgeCount
