Clear app badge with local notifications

Question

I\'m trying to clear my app\'s \"unread\" badge with a UILocalNotification. Logically you would think this would be done by setting applicationIconBadge

Answer 1

I had the same problem. When setting the badge from a local notification, setting it to 0 is the default for 'no change', while doing it straight from the application would clear it. Setting it to a negative number through a local notification solved the problem.

try:

clearEpisodeNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = -1;
