I am trying to disable badges for the Facebook app, and even though they are disabled in the settings, they still show up. Is there a way to disable notifications for just that app? Maybe something on the file system? This is very very annoying.
Got a tip for us?

The Cydia app No Badges will suppress all badges, but I'm guessing that's not what you want. But I am puzzled why they still appear when you have them turned off. I never get any. But I almost always disallow notifications when installing apps. Perhaps you need to reboot? Or delete the Facebook app and then reinstall, disallowing notifications?
I have tried that. For some reason the settings stick. If I delete, reboot, install, reboot: the settings are still there and it gives me no option to disallow notifiations.
This is annoying me too. Ever since facebook implemented their new messaging system, I have a new badge saying I have 50 unread messages, even though 1) facebook messages are also emailed to me so why read them again? and 2) they're mostly spammy messages from events anyway. I turned off badge notifications and restarted the phone, marked a couple messages read and reopened facebook, but the badge is still there.
It's also annoying that facebook does't have a "mark all as read" function. I'm surprised this bug circumvents the Apple notifications API but it wouldn't be an issue if their site had that function.
