Setting badge amount correctly

[holgersindbaek]

I want to increment badge count by 1 for every notification the user receives and when the user enters the app, I want the badge count to reset to 0.

Right now, I'm using your system to keep track of badge count, but your system doesn't reset the badge count to 0 once the user enters the app. Is there any way I can reset the badge count to 0 for a user using the iOS library?

If not, is there any way I can receive a message in the background? Right now, I have a callback for "initWithLaunchOptions", but that only gets called if the user is currently in the app and not if the app is running in the background.

Any of these 2 solutions would work nicely.

To increment the badge count when a notification is received you can set ios_badgeType to "Increase" and ios_badgeCount to 1. Our SDK should be resetting the badge count back to 0 each time the app is opened / resumed automatically. I haven't seen any bugs with this is it is more likely another plugin / SDK code be interfering. Can you try to reproduce the issue in a new project? Let us know the steps to reproduce the issue if you're still seeing it.

You can set content_available to true on OneSignal to wake up your app in the background. It will fire the application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler: selector in your app's code.

Thanks.

That's not what I'm experiencing. When I enter the app, the increment count is not reset. It might be that it's reset if you open the app by clicking the notification, but not if you open the app like normal. 

All the best

The only issue I can see where the badge counter would not be cleared is if you were not calling initWithLaunchOptions from the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: selector in your app or there is another plugin / SDK or code changing the value.

We have a clearBadgeCount internal function that is called in a number of locations to make sure the badge is cleared. It includes the follow events.

• An app cold start from either tapping on a notification or tapping on the app icon. Called from it application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: as long as initWithLaunchOptions is called from it.
• When focus is resumed to the app from any event. Our SDK hooks into applicationWillResignActive: where this function is called.
• A OneSignal notification event is fired. Anytime a OneSignal notification is counted as open from either tapping on one or one is received while the app is in focus.

Can you post a project reproducing the issue along with the iOS version you're testing on with step by step instructions reproducing the issue?

Thanks.

I was setting "applicationIconBadgeNumber" manually different places. I think that had some unexpected consequences.

I've taken that away now and it's working perfectly.

[jkasten2]

@AmirDaliri application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler will fire when a notification is received with content_available set to true from OneSignal. See Apple's docs below for more detail on this method.

There is another issue open related to syncing badge counts you can follow bellow.
