[Bug]: Always 1 notification more in the tag on Signal icon #433
Description
What happened?
Hello:
Since the last update (version 8.1.0), the Signal icon in taskbar always shows 1 notification more than the actual number of notifications. And when all my messages have been read, I no longer have any notification in the notifications menu but the tag still says there's one, like this:
Does anyone have the same issue? I did not find anything in the bugtracker.
What should have happened?
The actual number of notifications must be written in the tag

**Minimize to tray**
Per the request of the Signal developers, this snap does not use the system
tray by default. This is disabled by default per the request of the Signal
developers, because system tray support is not stable. Set to `false`,
Signal will stop when you close it and will not have a system tray icon.
You can enable it by running the following command.
snap set signal-desktop tray-icon=true
