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.

I have added phonegap push plugin and it is working fine am receiving notification.In my server side am sending payload.addBadge(1);.so,whenever i push message from server it will remain badge number as 1.i tried to increment badge number in didReceiveRemoteNotification but it is incrementing onclick of notification.I need to increment my badge number when notification is received without any action by user.i need to do it on server side.Please help me on this

[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.

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@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.

[ramyacl]

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

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl based on your scenario .. you need to update the count on server side.

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl in iOS it is handled by OS.

[ramyacl]

In Server side can you please suggest how to do it and also please let me know the delegate method that should called while receiving notification.

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl can you tell me the scenario or functionality for which you are using pushnotification in you app?

[ramyacl]

we are sending a message to the user when a case is raised. Now we want to display the message count at the corner of app icon. Now even if user get more than 1 message still badge(count) is showing only 1. How to increment and display.

[kumaresan-cgvak]

@ramyacl implement a read status functionality. So if a case is read or viewed, the update the same to server from an app. So, when you send a new notification, you can get the number of unread case and increment it with one and send notification from server side.

[ramyacl]

How to send the count from app to the server?

[kumaresan-cgvak]

It is not count, you need to send read status to server via web service

[ramyacl]

But if i received notification and i open the notification when am in offline how it will get update to the server.

[kumaresan-cgvak]

It need to be tracked locally and updated to server when there is internet connection.

[ramyacl]

Can you please suggest how to send the applicationIconBadgeNumber value from client side to java server side and also please help me how to increment in server side

[gladguy]

This is about incrementing the badge count in the server end.How i can track whether the notification send to the user is read or not. ?

For example : If i am sending badgecounts continuously incrementing then it would appear always higher values. How to track whether the user read the notification so, that i can reset the badge counter for that particular user device.

Thank you

I have a problem in the PhoneGap splash screen and screen size.

Application is not coming in full screen. Size always there is some blank space in top and bottom of the phone and application is looking small.

for setting the badge count in ios,you can mention the value in server side payload as
"badge":4
