Show pending push notification count in Windows Phone

I am creating an WebView app i.e it contains only WebBrowser control which opens some enterprise mobile web app. I am using Urban Airship for push notifications.

Now I want to show the pending tile/toast notification count as badge on tile as well as on lock screen. How do I perform that? Is there any event which occurs when notification is pushed, if yes how can I use to maintain the count? Can I use background task? I am thinking to clear the badge when app is launched.

I am totally new in push notifications for Windows Phone. I searched a lot but didn't get expected results.

Do you have the access to the pending notifications count? – crea7or
No, Urban Airship just offers a panel to send the push messages. What if I have access to it? – Farhan Ghumra
Maybe I didn't understand correctly.. What do you want to display? Received notifications count that is not processed by the app? – crea7or
Suppose I am the new user of the app, I used the app for 15 mins, then I quit the app. Then I can toast notifcation 1,2,3...10 i.e. I got 10 notifications. So the badge should show 10 on lockscreen as well as on tile.When I reopen the app 10 would be cleared. Then I quit notification comes 1,2...5 so badge would be 5. – Farhan Ghumra

Here is a good sample of tile notification in msdn. You don't even need a background agent for this task, it will be done by the system. There is also a toast notification sample.
