My app uses badge to count the number of smoked cigarettes in the current day. I would like the app to remove the badge at the midnight, when a new day begins... Is it possible to do that?
I mean, doing that while the app is closed!
Thanks

Couldn't you just check, on application startup, if it was already started that day, and if not, remove the badge?

This is what i'm doing right now, but it's not so elegant: 'till you open the app the badge of the previous day still remain visible!

Interesting question. I don't think there is an elegant way to handle this; even multi-tasking falls short of being able to wake the app to perform a task. The only thing you're allowed to do is schedule a Local Notification, but this is only allowed to increase the badge number - sending a badge number of "0" indicates "no change".
Sorry there isn't a better answer.
