Onesignal-android-sdk: Badge icon number - Count out of sync after reboot

[jkasten2]

After Android is rebooted OneSignal notifications do not reappear so the badge count value is no longer in sync with the number of notifications. Notifications should reappear or the counter should reset on boot.

May also be an issue when notifications are cleared programmatically.

same here.. can we hide these cadge counts? click on app but, cant delete the count number...

You can disable the auto badge counting until a fix is created by adding the following to your AndroidManifest.xml.

<application ...>
   <meta-data android:name="com.onesignal.BadgeCount" android:value="DISABLE" />
</application>

If you still want badge support in your app but want to control it manually you can use the following library in your app.

Thanks.

I added the metadata key but the badge still doesn't go away.

@sagar23jan The meta-data key keeps the SDK from updating the badge value. Android launchers remember the value unless you fully uninstall then reinstall the app. Android launchers seems to remember the value (tested Nova launcher) even if you fully uninstall and reinstall the app.

There are 3 possible workarounds if you have already released an app and want to clear this value.

• Use https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger in your app to clear it on start up / in an update event. (It is a small ~30KB library).
• Modify our SDK by adding ShortcutBadger.applyCount(context, 0); to OneSignal.init
• (May not compile) - Try creating your own class in the com.onesignal package in your app project and call ShortcutBadger.applyCount(context, 0); from a static method. (no SDK modification required).

I simply added the ShortcutBadger.applyCount(context, 0); after I init OneSignal in my application's code, which seems to work. Thanks for the workaround.

Thanks for workaround.

I've added my application ;)
