The date number of app icon should change according to today's date.

Love this!
It is a feature, and it might need the support from Homescreen app.

IMO it doesn't have to be the icon that changes but rather a little circle on the top-left or bottom-right of the icon containing a number that changes, this little-circle-containing-number itself could be a feature that we can spread across other apps or at least give other apps the possibility to control it. e.g. Email app showing number of new email or how many Apps require updating in the Marketplace app.

Thoughts? :)

For this feature I'd suggest something like this to be added to the manifest of a certain app

"badge": 
 {
   "onStartup": hidden,
   "initialValue": null
 },


then from the app itself we call
badgeManager.value
badgeManager.show
badgeManager.hide
etc

?? :)

Moved my suggestion to Bug 1003400 to track it independently.

Ahmed, this bug is really about the current date and not a "badge", right now the Calendar App Icon shows the number "1", this value is supposed to update every day.

Candice, can you get someone from the systems front-end team to comment on this? I don't know if this is doable for 2.0 or not.

Hey Miller, this isn't confirmed for 2.0. It is on the backlog for 2.1.
