A:
Your application can add a badge icon number by calling:
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1; // any NSInteger
This is available in iPhone 2.0, but in 3.0 the application doesn't have to be running to update the number using the push notification service (requires server in the cloud).
