The same goes for Notification bubbles!!!!!!
I have deleted some games from my system because they display notification bubbles above the icon or app folder. That drives me insane. A few examples I can call out are Halfbrick studios. Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja both do this too often for my taste and have been removed from my phone because of it. These are particularly bad examples because of how many taps it takes to actually show and clear the notification. I wish there was an opt out with these things as it disturbs my OCD to have a clean desktop and no notification bubbles.

- Groxx 14y agoWhich requires knowing those settings exist, and finding them for the one app in 100+ that some people have in one giant list with no search. That's part of the complaint - turning them off is unintuitive and just plain bad.
- 3JPLW 14y agoNot all Badges are moderated through the notification center. Doodle Jump is one such app that manages to sneak badges past it -- they're not push notifications, but are populated upon application close.
