So i send push notifications using the arrowdb and cloud service with Appcelerator. This seems to work well and the iphone gets the notification. What i wonder is if there is some easy way to clear the badge numer to 0? It needs to be reset at the arrowdb server as well (or apple) i guess.
I want the badge to be reset every time the app is opened.
What i did was adding a resume listener in alloy.js
Ti.App.addEventListener("resumed", function(e){
In the event listener i first do (to reset the badge locally):
Cloud.PushNotifications.resetBadge({
device_token: device_token
}, function (e) {
if (e.success) {
Ti.API.info('Badge Reset!');
}
else {
Ti.API.error(e);
}
});
Then i also send a push to clear the badge on the server like this by sending a push to ourself:
var push_payload = {
badge:0,
sound:"",
alert:"",
title:"",
message_text:"",
push_type:"clear",
from_user:Alloy.Globals.currentUser.id,
vibrate:false
};
Cloud.PushNotifications.notify({
channel: 'private_message',
payload: push_payload,
to_ids: Alloy.Globals.currentUser.id
}, function (e) {
if (e.success) {
Ti.API.info('Success sending push notification');
} else {
Ti.API.info('Error sending push: '+((e.error && e.message) || JSON.stringify(e)));
}
});
The event listener seems to be called, and the push is sent. But somehow the badge still remains on the iphone device... Should I do this differently?
