All notifications disappearing after opening one of them

Question

I have a server that sends me push notifications and let's say that I have 5 notifications on my phone. If I open one of them all other notifications disappears. I want only the one clicked to disappear.

This is how I handle receiving notifications:

func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {

    if ( application.applicationState == UIApplicationState.Inactive || application.applicationState == UIApplicationState.Background  )
    {
        // navigating user to a view controller
    }
    application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
}

There is no way to remove a specific notification as of iOS SDK 5.0. When you tap on notification of your app so they don't show in the Notification Center. — Parth Dabhi, May 14 '15 at 08:54
It is because of application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0,remove that code.Also not sure only the one clicked to disappear. — Mukesh, May 14 '15 at 08:56
@muku by application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0 is only change badge number of application not notification. — Parth Dabhi, May 14 '15 at 08:58
@ParthDabhi if u set this code application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0 then ur badge number and notifications from notification center are all cleared — Mukesh, May 14 '15 at 09:00

By setting the applicationIconBadgeNumber to 0, you also remove every notification from the notification center.

This has also been discussed here: iOS application: how to clear notifications?

Furthermore, it is not possible to programmatically remove a single notification, but from iOS8 on, the OS will handle this for you when a user taps a single notification. This has also been discussed here: Remove single remote notification from Notification Center

If you use OneSignal SDK in your app, and you have the problem of disappearing notifications after opening one, you must add key OneSignal_disable_badge_clearing to the Info.plist file in Xcode, as a Boolean type set to YES.

More info here https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/badges

The solution is to set the applicationIconBadgeNumber to the real number of notifications the user has in the notification center. I made a function for this:

func updateIconBadge() {
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getDeliveredNotifications { notifications in
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = notifications.count
        }
    }
}

For more info (like where to call to this function) you may want to check my original answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54296486/8157190
