IMO there is zero value in having our server apply some magic. The meaning of the badge number is in most cases really something that the business backend already knows (Mr. T has 12 new mails). -Matthias What I am saying is that, I don't want to have to keep track of the badge number. I want the Aerogear push server to keep track of it. I don't know how many notifications that I have sent to the user. Also, if I had multiple disparate systems, I would have a much harder time getting the badge number correct. Seems like the Aerogear push server is an ideal candidate for this task. There would need to be some minor changes to the cordova plugin (right now it sets the count to zero which clears the badges and all of the notifications for that matter). The developer would be responsible for setting the badge number by calling the existing JS Push api function to set the badge number upon receiving the notification. I think that API should also make a call back to the Aerogear push server to update the badge number on the server. -Keith > > >> >>> >>> In the mobile app, I can always call the method to decrement the badge >>> number upon receiving the notification.
