yeah, the push plugin should set the arrived number. Can you file a ticket
for that ?

Nope, the push server won't keep track. It just delivers the given number
to APNs.
The number can be totally different per user (e.g. number of messages in a

decrement (or setting back to zero) is app logic, and Apple treats it that
way.
IMO the Push Plugin should follow that as well

Thanks for sharing your toughts!
