So, let's say in Gmail example, when you open the app there is only 1 new message and no other ones, despite the badge saying there are 3? Once you leave the app, does the badge remain or it goes away? When a new notification comes in, does the badge once again show an incorrect number?
Correct. There is only 1 message but badge says 3. The badge does go away after I look at that email. Then if I get another email the badge will say 3 again.
----------
Right now I have 1 app update but the badge is saying 3. I update the one app and the badge is gone

Could it be that you have a spam mail? I know when I get spam sent to my Mac mail the number will show up.
On Gmail some of the messages are slow to load when I'm on wifi I simple refresh the thread or close out the app.
Check those..and see if it works.

Any chance those apps might have more than one item that is new as well (just perhaps not easily noticeable, like an older email somewhere or an older message)? Or is it essentially all apps that always have extra numbers listed in the badges fairly consistently?
You're not listening. lol j/k It happens to me when I get spam in my Mac mail spam folder. That's the only time I see it with mac mail. The other times is with Gmail. I'm guessing the incoming gets hung up somewhere. or it could be iOS7 acting up.
There are a few other apps I have too that do that. Waze and a few gaming apps.
