Does setting icon badge number locally require user permission in iOS?

Question

My app sets the application icon badge number locally. It reflects the number of rows in a table view.

Do I need to ask the user for permission to do it?

Do I need to register the app to appear in the notification center? By no means do I use push notifications.

If I'm just setting the icon badge number and not using UILocalNotifications.

Answer 1

No, you can increase it anytime you want. This is not push notification feature so does not require user permissions.
