Description
Is there a way to clear badge icons from the client?
For example: If someone has the app open while a notification comes in, it doesn't make a sound or show the notification, but it still adds the badge icon to app's icon. Is there a way to clear this from the client without forcing the user to exit the app and reopen it to clear it?
The only way I can see to clear the badge icon without the user's action is to send a new notification with a blank payload and a badge of 0.
