Summary:
The problem appears when the dock plug-in and APNs are combined

If an application is closed and the plug-in has set a badge count on the dock icon, when a notification comes with an updated badge, I cannot see any change on the dock icon.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare an application with the dock tile plug-in installed (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/DockTile)
2. Add APNs handling
3. Set a badge count and close the application - the badge should stay on the dock icon because of the plug-in
4. Send a notification to the application with an updated badge value


Expected Results:
The notification comes and the dock badge is updated.

Actual Results:
The notification comes but the dock badge still has the old value.

Version:
10.9-10.12

Notes:
The plug-in has other bundle identifier than the application. Target of notifications is the application's bundle identifier. 

The problem can be also synchronisation between the plug-in and the notification (even if the notification would be setting the badge count). The application saves a badge value into the User Defaults. The plugin loads the badge value from there. If the application is closed and the notification comes with an update, the plug-in - when starts running - will not know about updated value and will load the old value.

Configuration:
MacBook Pro Mid 2015
OS X 10.11.6
Xcode 8.2.1
