Inside ContentView.swift, add the variable:

@Environment(\.scenePhase) var scenePhase

and then add onChange modifier to the outmost stack of your body:

 .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in
                   if newPhase == .active {
                                        print("Active")
                                  } 
                   else if newPhase == .inactive {
       UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0                                  
                                        } 

                   else if newPhase == .background { 
  UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
                                        }
                                    }

For iOS 13+

You need to implement either one of these functions in the SceneDelegate.swift file instead of the AppDelegate.swift

func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene) {
    UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
}


func sceneWillEnterForeground(_ scene: UIScene) {
        UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
}

Think of the AppDelegate as for the App in general, whereas the SceneDelegate is for a specific instance. Better explanation here -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/59965183/7082339

You should set this:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;

in either of these AppDelegate methods if the application is launched and sent to background then you launch the application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method will not be called so use either of these methods:

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application

For Swift 3+

- func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication)
- func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication)

Well, the better way to do this is to make a function that subtract the badge number then make a UIButton to let the user to clear the badge. In the default mail application, if you read one email the badge will subtract one from the icon. You should never set it 0 at launch or resume, it is meaningless and make the app look crappy. Subtract it when the user interact with that event is the best way to do it. Make your app more professional, if you just reset it when the app launch who know what is the bedges mean, may as well not use it.

You can set that code anywhere in code.. Does not matter. But generally, is kept in UIApplicationDidFinishLaunching..
