title: Push-Notification Badge auto increment
body: <p>I've been implementing the push service to my application, and I've been thinking about the application's badge. My app is a mail app (sorta) and I want to notify the user via push for new messages added to the inbox, I want the badge = number of new messages in the inbox.</p>
  
  <p>I thought of doing it server sided (provider) checking for new messages and sending the number as the badge.</p>
  
  <p>The question is:
  Is there a way to auto-increment the application's badge, without having to calculate the badge value server sided and afterwards sending it as a part of the push payload to the APSN?</p>
  
  <p>Maybe there's a way to send in JSON badge field some variable like "++" or something like that.
  Any hack for that? Or do I need to go with the counting system server-sided??</p>
