If your push notification badges aren't showing on your dev build, here's the likely problem

Posting this because it’s likely going to save someone else from pulling their hair out like I was today.

Stepped through this tutorial to get push up and running (great tutorial Jonathan!)

Quickly got notifications to work but they weren’t showing a badge. After trying a bunch of things, I realized that you MUST have a valid icon (e.g. Icon.png / Icon@2.png) for your app for notifications to work.

Another fine point - though this one I’ve seen mentioned somewhere on the internet - is that you also have to make the badge parameter an integer and not a string … so your payload should look like

“badge” => 2

instead of

“badge” => “2”

Hope this saves someone their sanity one day! [import]uid: 32462 topic_id: 30550 reply_id: 330550[/import]
