title: Amazon SNS update badge counter for Apple Push Notification when publishing to topic
body: <p>I understand that it is possible to set the badge counter when publishing to individual devices, but is it possible to set a device independent counter when publishing to <strong>ALL</strong> devices subscribed to a certain topic ARN?</p>
  <p>Current use case is there could be up to a million users subscribed to a certain topic and having to publish push notifications to each device ARN one by one (opposed to a topic ARN) seems really inefficient, from a server-side standpoint.</p>
