The little red badges are push notifications alert you to new information, even when the app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen. For example, a red badge on the App Store icon indicates you have an app update available. Once you install the update, the badge disappears. A badge on the Mail icon indicates unread mail. When you read the messages, the badge disappears.


Look at page 190 in the iPhone iOS4 User Guide


Or, if you prefer, look under "Benachrichtigungen" on page 226 in the iPhone benutzerhandbuch

i know for what they are and how to use them.


but they dont appear any longer! I have one update in the appstore for example but the icon on the home screen does not show anything!




i'm using a rss reader app: no longer the badge with the unread message count!

nobody can help me?

anyhow i get it working that the badge on the appstore stays where it should. But before that it just disappeared a few secs after closing the app-store!


- Open appstore

- Found update

- Closed Appstore -> Badge was there!

- Waited 1-2 sec -> badge was no longer visible


now it shows the badge the whole time but with my RSS-Reader app (MobileRSS) it shows no badges!
