To set the app icon badge, you can use the UNUserNotificationCenter
to manage notifications and update the badge count. Here's a basic example of how you can achieve this:
-
Request Notification Permissions: First, you need to request permission to display notifications.
import UserNotifications UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.badge, .sound, .alert]) { (granted, error) in if granted { print("Permission granted") } else if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }
-
Update the Badge Count: You can update the badge count by setting the
badge
property of aUNMutableNotificationContent
object.let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.badge = NSNumber(value: 1) // Set the badge number let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 1, repeats: false) let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "badgeNotification", content: content, trigger: trigger) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) { (error) in if let error = error { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }
-
Clear the Badge Count: To clear the badge count, you can set it to
0
.UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
