I was wondering if it’s possible to keep the last 5 (for example) read notifications in the apple’s notification center (the one that shows up when you swipe down near the top)
I’ve noticed that once you click on a notification and “read” it, it disappears from the list. Is this done programaticaly by the app, who sends the device a message that the notification has been read and it’s ok to delete it, or is it done automatically by the device and you have absolutely no control on it.
One client said it saw an app that did this and kept the last 5 notifications there, regardless if they were accessed or not but so far I’ve found nothing to indicate that this is possible
Well, it’s not a very complete answer, but one of my colleagues managed to make this work.
All he did was to stop using badge number for notifications. No badge number is set when a notification is received, and no badge number is set when a notification is read.
[edit]It seems that when you set the badge number to 0 after you receive the notification, iOS automatically clears the notification, this being an undocumented feature.
