For me personally I like to use the badge count to drag my attention to something that requires action. For bunq, I like the badge count for private matters messages and pending transactions: both things that require an action from my side (e.g. read the message / accept the pending transaction).
I do love receiving push notifications when I make / receive a payment, but a badge isn't necessary for these events as no action needs to be taken.
The perfect solution in my opinion would be to let users select which things do or do not count towards the badge count. These could be:
- incoming transactions
- outgoing transactions
- pending payments
- unread private matters messages
- Together notification
It would be great if users themselves could select for each of these events if they count towards the badge count.
I do not know if this is technically possible... If not, I would like to see the badge count only for events that require action as described at the top of my post.
