I have a iPhone 6 and the Podcasts app isn't badging correctly. When I'm downloading a podcast (or it's automatically downloading one) the Podcasts app has a badge for the number of episodes that are being downloaded. After they've downloaded the app stops badging for them.

In-app I correctly have badges on the podcasts I have new episodes for, but the app's icon isn't showing the total of them (it isn't showing any). I've tried toggling if the episode is marked as played or not, sometimes that changes it temporarily, but it never sticks. I have all the notifications on in settings.

The last iOS device I used the Podcasts app on was an iPod touch running iOS 6 so I have no idea when this cropped up. Is this just an iOS 8 bug? Any ideas how to fix it?
