Push notification badge/icon doesn't go away

i got an app that sent me a push notification the other day, but i found nothing when i opened the app and checked it. The problem is the push notification badge doesn't disappear, it's been there since then. I tried disabling the notifications function, restarting the phone, deleting and then reinstalling the app, but nothing turned out to be effective. The small number there is so annoying. Anyone knows how to deal with that?
Thnx in advance!

Hey All!! I believe I have a fix for those who - like me - could not get it resolved with the steps above. I just fixed it on mine. And trust me - I tried each of the steps above several times - which SHOULD have worked but ... we are indeed talking about picky and delicate iPhones here, hehe. Ok - so ...
When the step of turning off the badge alert did not work, it got me thinking ... iMessage has several settings in the iPhone settings area. So let me play with those. And sure enough - the first setting change fixed it. Here is what ya do ...
1. Go to Settings
2. Simply Scroll Down to "Messages"
3. Turn Off the Very First Option - "iMessage" At the Top
4. Leave Settings and Check Home Screen to See the Badge Has Disappeared
5. Return Back to Message Settings and Turn "iMessage" Back On
Voila! I hope this works for some folks!!

  • When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I'm at my home, and on my Wifi, my 4G icon on my LG G2 is still present. No big deal. If the bits can flow via WiFi, that's what they'll do.
    You might try (if you really MUST shut off the cellular radio):
    Settings, Network Connections and More networks. Select Mobile Networks and uncheck Mobile data and data roaming.
    Not sure if that will work - but give it a try.

  • Apple push notification certificate expiration is  10 days away how do i renew

    how do i renew

    Server.app > select the server at the top of the left column > select Settings > select the Edit button to the right of enable Apple Push Notification > select Renew.
    FWIW, I've previously logged an enhancement request with Apple, as this mechanism involves certificates, and isn't available on the certificates page within Server.app, nor is there a way to access the settings from the alert.  This renewal mechanism just isn't as easy to find as it should be.  You're not the first to be confounded by this stuff, in other words.

  • The camera icon doesn't go away

    Yesterday my camera icon on my iPhone 5 failed to go away on the lock screen. I can still slide the screen up to use the Control Center, but I wondered if this could bea bigger problem with the phone or iOS. I have restarted and restored twice.

    I may be mistaken, but I have had this phone for a year and I havern't noticed it before last week. Was it a feature on a recent upgrade, or is there a way to hide it? Thanks for your reply.

  • My Ipod nano's charging icon doesn't appear

    since i got my ipod nano 4gb, 4 days ago i have noticed that when I plug in my it into my computer to charge, I don't see the green battery icon, instead I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT red circle. No matter how long its plugged in, that icon doesn't go away. Why?
    Thanks

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
    In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • Sky Email - 'Push' Notifications for Android?

    Hi, I have a new sky email address, however I wanted to get emails instantly. If I use the Yahoo app, or my gmail client, it only checks for mail every 15 minutes. Any idea how to set it up to have push notifications so I get email straight away? Thanks

    If you are using the standard email app on Andriod then within the settings of the email app should be an option to change the limit, on my phone I can only set it to 5 minutes.

  • Push Notifications. The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!

    The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!
    I have now followed multiple instructions from this and other forums. have turned push notifications off. Turned them on. Have updated to IOS 6. Have signed out and signed back in, have uninstalled all magazines and reinstalled. Have synced, and updated everything in iTunes.
    Nothing works,. Also cannot use youtube.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

  • Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google  etc.)

    So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
    As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
    This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
    I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks for your time.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • Push Notifications, Specifically Badges

    I have noticed lately that sometimes my push nofications just never come through.
    Especially badges over icons.
    I have them all enabled.
    I wonder if something is going on with the apple servers. 
    I dont think its verizon cause even when im on wifi sometimes i dont get them.
    Anyone else notice this?>

    It's one of 3 things:
    1.  Apple servers
    2.  Network
    3.  Application
    Some applications suck at push notifications while some applications are on the ball.  Sometimes push goes over the bit limit and Apple servers will dump them instead of sending them.

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.
