Is it possible to show only badge for Firebase push notification, without alert in IOS (Swift or Obj-C)?

I am using Firebase to send remote push notification for an iOS app. Now I need to show only badge in app icon without alert when app is not running. Is it possible to implement something like that?

Thank you

Request UIUserNotificationTypeBadge permission only when you set permissions in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Remove .alert

func requestNotificationAuthorization(application: UIApplication) {
    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
        let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.badge]
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: authOptions, completionHandler: {_, _ in })
    } else {
        let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.badge], categories: nil)
        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
    }
}

You should set the notification setting options to .badge only when you request notifications authorization from user:

let notificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
notificationCenter.requestAuthorization(options: [.badge], completionHandler: { [weak self] success, error in
       guard success else {
            guard error == nil else {
                 print("Error occured while requesting push notification permission. In \(#function)")
                 print("Error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
                 return
            }
            print("User has denied permission to send push notifications")
            return
    }
    print("User has granted permission to send push notifications")
}
