Dismissing App Icon Badge Numbers with notification center?

[zachjjackson]

One of the only buy most hated things about my S4 is that even when I pull down the notification center and press clear, you still have to go and open the damn app to get the stupid little numbered badge to go away or mark a text as read, what can I do to get around this?

That the way the s2 s3 worked. Its the way it works
