Badge Count iOS

[kumaresan-cgvak]

When the App becomes active, then the Badge Count is set to zero in the plugin at location as follows:

1. In file "AppDelegate+notification.m"
2. In method "- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application"
3. at line number 90.
4. Please remove this default reset of Badge Number. "application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;"

But i need to increment badges while receiving notification without tapping on it.Is there is a method to be called?

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl Then you need to send the updated badge count from server via notification payload along with the notification details. So, that iOS will automatically update the badge count.

[ramyacl]

sorry i need to do it on client side

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl so, you just need to send the updated or new badge count payload.addBadge(1); from server side as follows

for first notification
payload.addBadge(1);

for second notification
payload.addBadge(2);

likewise.

So, that iOS will update it automatically without user action.

@ramyacl can you tell me the functionality for which you are using push-notficaiton?

[ramyacl]

actually i will send as payload.addBadge(1); for all the notification.From client side we need take the badge value from server side and increment it and update the incremented badge value to my app.Now the problem is how to increment the badge while receiving notifications.

[ramyacl]

how this payload.addBadge(1); is setting 1.payload will call which method in objective c?

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl it is automatically done by iOS. So we need to send the update value from server side. There is no delegate method for handling it.

Is there any possible to increment bage in client side with pushplugin?Becoz for android onMessage event is firing while receiving notification.
