Does the new notification setup in iOS 5 do anything to help sync notifications across devices to clear them out?
For example, today, if I get a Words With Friends move it notifies me on both my iPhone and iPad that I have a turn waiting. If I then make the turn on my iPhone the notification badge will remain on my iPad until I launch the app and it resets, if you will.
Contrast this with an IMAP email account where a notification can be flushed out in the background if the message is read on a different device.
