Question

I am pushing some text to an iPhone app. once the message is accepted and processed in the app I still see the message in the notification area and if I accept it again the message get duplicated in the app.

how I can avoid that? Is there away to remove it from the notification area once the push is accepted.

In other words, once

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
      didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo 

is executed, I want to remove the notification from the notification area.

Setting the badge value to 1 or some value first then set it back to 0 worked. Like the following:

  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:1];
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
