# badge

The number that your app’s icon displays.

```
@NSCopying var badge: NSNumber? { get }
```

## Discussion

When the number in this property is `0`, the system doesn’t display a badge. When the number is greater than `0`, the system displays the badge with the specified number. When the value in this property is `nil`, the system leaves the current badge unchanged.
