One of the most annoying things that I put up with on a regular basis in terms of dismissing iMessage or Gmail notification banners from my Lock Screen or Notification Center is that the app icon badge pertaining to that notification doesn’t actually go away. In essence, launching the app to make the badge go away makes me feel like I’m investing twice the effort to dismiss that notification in its entirety.
