push.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber not working in background

[maikelsgit]

Expected Behaviour

When a push message is received override the badge count number with setApplicationIconBadgeNumber() when app is in background.

Actual Behaviour

When a push message is received when the app is in the background nothing happens, the badge number wil be the badge number that is included in the push payload. When the app is open it works.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Steps to Reproduce

Click app to the background and send a push notification. The app wil show the badge count number included in the push payload and ignores the push.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber function.

Platform and Version (eg. Android 5.0 or iOS 9.2.1)

iOS 9.3

Sample Push Data Payload

{"aps":{"alert":"Testing.. (1)","badge":1,"sound":"default"}}

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

var push = PushNotification.init({ 
            "ios": {
                "alert": true, 
                "badge": true, 
                "sound": true, 
                "clearBadge": false 
            }

        });

push.on('notification', function(data) {
            console.log(data.count);
            push.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(function() {
                console.log('success');
            }, function() {
                console.log('error');
            }, data.count + 1);
});

Logs taken while reproducing problem

When the app is running the log is showing me the data.count of the push payload, 1 in this case and it also shows ''succes".
When the app is in de background there are no logs shown.

@Jarvey you are not sending a background notification so your notification handler is not being run. Send this payload:

{"aps":{"alert":"Testing.. (1)","badge":1,"sound":"default", "content-available": 1}}

If that fixes the problem please close this issue.

@macdonst yes this fixed it, it is now working.
