Need to increment a value while iPhone app in background

I am new to iPhone app and Objective-C development.  What I need is that while the app is in the background, I need for it to show a value in the upper right corner, just like when a phone has updates ready.  Or, when I have emails, it show me mow many it has.

Is this a push notification which results in the counter being increased?

I do not plan to have a server, so is this even possible?

Thanks!

So, Push Notification is the only way to increment that index.  I am talking about the little red circle upper right corner of the icon.  Does that specifically represent the number of push notification in the queue?

And is PN the only way to index that number?

Thanks.
