Message Center message iOS Badge Updates
When a Rich Message is sent to a device, Airship automatically increments the app's badge by 1, even if there is no badge update explicitly included in the push payload.
This should make the app's badge value equal to the number of unread messages in the user's inbox.
If this is undesired behavior, do not enable the badge notification type in the app's SDK implementation.
If this is not possible please contact Airship Support, or create a post in the Community Forum to have the behavior changed on the Airship side.
