FaceTime badge won't go away.

So recently, i missed a call on facetime and when I checked on my dock, there was a missed call badge. I opened facetime, went into missed calls, and cleared it. I then exited the app and the badge on the icon was still there, and yes, i did try to remove it from my dock and then open it through finder:applications:facetime. any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

What everyone is seeing to this particular problem is the "Notification Badge app icon" for FaceTime, Not a missed call although it shows the same Red indicator as well.


All you need to do is go to system preferences->Notifications-> and scroll down to FaceTime. Look to the right of that and if your like me you uncheck the Badge App icon box and you should see that annoying red notification disappear.


Now I don't know if its a bug or a conflict with the new OS X El Capitan or other OS versions but this will fix that problem.


Let me know if this works for everyone.



OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.12
