Here is What I did in my AppDelegate – (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { // registering for remote notifications [self registerForRemoteNotification]; return YES; } – (void)registerForRemoteNotification { if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@”8.0″)) { UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert; UIUserNotificationSettings *notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings]; } else { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound … Read more
Given that the badge criteria can be arbitrarily complex, I don’t think you can store it in a database table broken down into “simple” data elements. Trying to write a “rules engine” that can handle arbitrarily complex criteria is going to take you down the path of basically re-writing all the tools that you have … Read more
