Want an icon badge to go with the alerts
This app needs a badge. iPhone push alerts can be rather transiant, and when I look at the phone it would be very helpful to see a badge on the BNO News icon that says how many alerts have come in since the last time I opened it. (For those who hate badges or don't want this: you can turn it off in the settings for the notification for any app that supports badging.)
An example of how this helps: I leave my phone on but silent while I'm sleeping. During the night several things cause push alerts to come in. When I wake up I only see the latest alert. But I can quickly scan the icons of the apps that support push to see if any of their badges indicate that an alert came in earlier while I was sleeping.

Inappropriate?We are exploring the technical limitations to see if what you propose is possible. The accuracy of the badge in relation to the number of notifications you have missed is the piece we are digging into.

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?I don't think it has to be too smart. Smart is nice, don't get me wrong, but even if it's simply a count of messages that have been displayed since I last opened the app, with opening the app resetting things to 0, that would be fine. And much better than nothing.
I believe that's how Prowl works, for example.
