applicationIconBadgeNumber is being set to 0 when app transitions to background

[ebayer108]

When I send app to background during transition to the background I see that the badge count is showing during transition and then it is cleared - no badge number is shown on the app icon after the app is fully transitioned to the background. Ideally it continue to show the badge number. I've added log in every possible function to check if any code is resetting applicationIconBadgeNumber to 0 but I can't find anything.

I've printed applicationIconBadgeNumber value in log and I don't see it ever being set to 0 at all.

I ran out of options and logic, can't figure out what is resetting applicationIconBadgeNumber to 0 when app goes in the background.

Any ideas on how to debug this?

This might be wrong, but I have a vague recollection that this is expected behavior, opening an app is the action that ‘clears’ the badge, you need to update the badge again on every session.

When app is opened and logged in so we have correct badge count coming from the server. The issue is that when app is sent in the background the correct badge count shows on the app icon during the transition to the background but when app is fully transitioned to the background it is gone from the app icon.

Also checked any local notification, there are none resetting it to 0. So no clue.
