Answer 1

You can set it everywhere. E.g:

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo

{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:123]; // this one
}

Answer 2

When you receive your notification this method is got called:

application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:

This will contain a NSDictionary

`(NSDictionary *)userInfo`

update the app icon badge count using the function

[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[[userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"] objectForKey: @"badgecount"] intValue];

Your Payload look like this:

{
"aps" : {
    "alert" : "You got your emails.",
    "badge" : 9
        }
}

To hide the badge use Zero(0)
