PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService (); // Initializing PushNotification Service.
string userName = "UserName";
string deviceToken = "DeviceToken";
int badges = 10; // For clear count make it 0 
pushNotificationService.UpdatePushBadgeforDevice(userName, deviceToken, badges,  new UnityCallBack());

PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService (); // Initializing PushNotification Service.
string userName = "UserName";
int badges = 10; // For clear count make it 0
pushNotificationService.UpdatePushBadgeforUser(userName, badges,  new UnityCallBack());

[code java]PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService (); 

// Initializing PushNotification Service.

If you want to stipulate any number for the badge or want to reduce the badge count to zero, you can use this method to update the count as the notification gets clicked by the user. You have to call updatePushBadgeforDevice or updatePushBadgeforUser in this case.

[code java]PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService (); 

// Initializing PushNotification Service.
string userName = "UserName";
string deviceToken = "DeviceToken";
int badges = 10; 

// For clear count make it 0 
pushNotificationService.UpdatePushBadgeforDevice(userName, deviceToken, badges,  new UnityCallBack());[/code] 

[code java]PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService (); 

// Initializing PushNotification Service.
string userName = "UserName";
int badges = 10; 

// For clear count make it 0
pushNotificationService.UpdatePushBadgeforUser(userName, badges,  new UnityCallBack());[/code] 

updatePushBadgeforDevice – This method is used to update push badge count of a particular device registered by the user .
updatePushBadgeforUser – This method is used to update push badge count of all the devices that a user procures. In this case, we are assuming that the user has multiple devices registered under his name.

Here, we end on a learning note for you and truly hope that this feature proves out to be useful in managing badges for your fabulous apps.
