Change UILocalNotification count at the panel - iphone

Question

i have meet the problem: when i send a UILocalNotification as：
UILocalNotification *alarm = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (alarm) {
alarm.fireDate = [NSDate date];
alarm.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
alarm.repeatInterval = 0;
alarm.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
alarm.alertBody ="This is 1 message";
if (object) {
NSDictionary *infoDic = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:object forKey:objectkey];
alarm.userInfo = infoDic;
}
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:alarm];
you can see the code:when i send the notication twice you can receive the message twice:
"This is 1 message"
"This is 1 message"
at the panel of mobile. i want to not change the alarm.alertBody content,but when i receive the message twice,i can merge the two meaasge
"This is 1 message"
"This is 1 message" as one "there are two messages" on the panel . if i can finished the task,if yes,what api can i use?
in android status info and panel info is different,but i think iOS only one alert body,at status and panel is the same am i right?
Edit: i donot know why give me -2,my quetion is easy? or other? the answer not my need.
edit 2: i describe my need. when user receive different 1 message form 15 people,it come one by one,so i cannot give it [NSString stringWithFormat:#"there are %d messages",count],i only give it "there is 1 message",but when user open the panel,i only show" there are 15 message",can cannel 14 "there is 1 message". answer 1,give me answer is :at status "there is 15 message" ,but not people give me so many message,people only give me 1 message

You can create a function to schedule the notification.
Create an array for the alert msgs use counter +1 for adding new alert each time.
Then you can schedule the local notification on a particular date as you want some thing like this would help:
- (void)scheduleNotification:(NSDate*)showDate withMsg:(NSString*)msg
{
Class cls = NSClassFromString(#"UILocalNotification");
if (cls != nil) {
UILocalNotification *notif = [[cls alloc] init];
// notif.fireDate = [datePicker date];
//setting the fire dat of the local notification
notif.fireDate = showDate;//[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:5];
//setting the time zone
notif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
//setting the message to display
//notif.alertBody = #"You are notified";
notif.alertBody = msg;
//default notification sound
notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
//displaying the badge number
notif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]applicationIconBadgeNumber]+1;
//schedule a notification at its specified time with the help of the app delegate
// NSLog(#"Todays date:%# Notification Date:%#",[NSDate date],showDate);
// Displaying Button tittle
notif.alertAction = #"Show me";
// //setting the values in dict of local notification
// NSDictionary *userDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:_serverMsg
// forKey:kRemindMeNotificationDataKey];
// notif.userInfo = userDict;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notif];
}
