My app is just a brochure. Users can download compatible files to view (DOC, PPT, PDF, XLS, MP4, etc). If a newer version of a previously downloaded file is available I'd just like to update the badge icon on the app to alert the user their downloaded resources have updates.
So far all I see as a way to update a badge icon (outside previous ANEs that are said to be malfunctioning) is the new AIR 3.4 push notification updates. I see you can register to receive PUSH and if RemoteNotifier receives a notification event of type RemoteNotificationEvent.TOKEN it can adjust the badge?
I only wish to set the app icons badge number manually from inside the app, after I determine if there's any resources that need updating. I don't need push services. Is there an easy means that I'm simply not seeing to adjust the badge, such as somehow faking a RemoteNotificationEvent.TOKEN event or any classes I'm not seeing inside flash.notifications.*?
Thanks for any tips!
