title: iOS: badge counter vs. Notification center
body: <p>I am a bit (a lot) confused about the Notification Center and the app badge counter. I have designed an iOS to-do app which uses local notifications to alert users of a scheduled reminder (which they set in the app) . The app also uses the icon batch counter to display the # of tasks due "today".</p>
  
  <p>At the time of a set reminder notifications correctly show up in Notification Center. However, once the app has been opened the notifications are cleared from Notification Center. The idea is that the notifications remain available in Notification Center until the user clears them.</p>
  
  <p>I have discussed this with my developer and he states that notifications can only be saved in NC when we do not use the icon batch counter. This seems very illogical to me since the icon batch counter shows the # of tasks due "today" and the notifications shown in Notification Center are alerts set by the user.</p>
  
  <p>Hope you guys can help here.... Thanks!</p>
