Is it possible to show a character value in the APNS badge?

Question

Has anyone done this? I would like to show a "!" instead of a number.

Thanks.

Answer 1

applicationBadgeNumber on UIApplication is defined as such:

@property (nonatomic) NSInteger applicationIconBadgeNumber;

No strings, only integers.

Answer 2

It accepts integer as badge number so you cant show "!" as badge ..
