title: iPhone: Incrementing the application badge through a local notification
body: <p>is it possible to increment the application badge through a local notification while the app is not running?</p>
  
  <p>I know how to set the badge, but haven't found any way to increment this value.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 23;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> I found a (far from being perfect) solution. You can predict what will happen, if the user doesn't open the app and add notifications for every +1 event.</p>
  
  <p>An example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>For day 1: Count = 0</li>
  <li>For day 2: localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1; </li>
  <li>For day 3: localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 2;  </li>
  <li>For day 4: localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 3;</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>==> Put these notifications in an array and set them before the application exits.</p>
  
  <p>However, I'm searching for a better solution than this workaround.</p>
