Reset Push Badge

[Doug Black]

My app uses push notifications, and I'd like to turn on the Badge feature. When the person opens the app after a push notification, I want the badge number to reset. How do I make this happen?

[Oleg Danchenkov]

Hi, Doug.
Try this on Device Ready event
precodevar pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;
pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);/code/pre

[Doug Black]

Perfect!

This code doesn't seem to be working any longer on iOS7. Anything else I need to do?

Hi Doug,

Instead of prepushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);/preTry using this code:prepushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successHandler, 0);/preWhere codesuccessHandler/code is a function that should run when you set value (can be empty and do nothing).

Could you please elaborate on the successHandler function? I haven't been able to get the badge to reset to 0

Hi Nate -

Please provide more information about your issue. What exactly have you tried? And what and where is not working?

Hi Nate,

What event do you use for this code?

[Nate Kahl]

on DeviceReady I run:
var pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;
pushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(successHandler, 0);

but nothing happens to the badge
