Answer 1

You have to do it from the server side. In my case I have done it through php and mysql. Here is my database

I have added a field badgecount and i increase the badge count every time i send the push to the device with this code

    $query = "SELECT badgecount FROM pushnotifications WHERE device_token = '{$device_token}'";
    $query = $this->db->query($query);
    $row = $query->row_array();
    $updatequery = "update pushnotifications set badgecount=badgecount+1 WHERE device_token ='{$device_token}'";
    $updatequery = $this->db->query($updatequery);
    $device = $device_token;
    $payload['aps'] = array('alert' => $pushmessage, 'badge' =>$row["badgecount"]+1, 'sound' => 'default');
    $payload = json_encode($payload); 

And I also make another api for making the badgcount 0 which is called in the

- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo

So when the notification is seen it is again zero in the server.
