I might have a weird question, but ios badges, can they be accumulative? Like imessage does for example? I have set up notifications, but send out the same notification as a persistent one. This way the notification area is like an activity log but lightweight.
The problem is, I can only set the number on the badge and not make them accumulative. As in the number of the badge shows the amount of notifications I have.
You could use actionable notifications with ‘Mark read’ as the action (decrement counter) for all your notifications but not selecting this action after reading the message would stuff up the count and the badge total would not update until the next message.
I was looking for a way to put a badge number on a view or a card, to indicate something that needs to be acted upon. I’ll have to keep searching, then. Happy for suggestions, though I understand this may not be the correct thread for it.
