Answer 1

You have to manage your server side when you send a notification to other user then from php side they set a counter to increment the badge & send the notification to other user after that when you open your app the badge is set to null like this :

- (void) applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *) application
{
    application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}

& to receive the notification you set this code :

- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{    
    NSLog(@"userInfo %@",userInfo);

    for (id key in userInfo)
    {
        NSLog(@"key: %@, value: %@", key, [userInfo objectForKey:key]);
    }

    [application setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:[[[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"badge"] intValue]];

    NSLog(@"Badge %d",[[[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"badge"] intValue]);

    NSString *message = [[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey:@"alert"];

    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test" message:message delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];

    [alert show];
}
