This is part of some iPhone UI improvements i'm experimenting with.
This concept, I call it Dynamic Badges, gives you the possibility to see what notification belongs to a specific badge count, instead of having pull down the notification center. This is triggered by pulling the icon down with your finger.
I really like the style of it, but I'm not sure if it would feel right to pull an icon down to show the message. I guess (for me at least) it would be better if you had to pull it up.
Yeah, I think I agree with @Daniel Diekmeier. Especially if the icon is in the top row towards the middle, you don't want to accidentally trigger the alerts pane to slide down, with a downward swipe.
And since the alert bubble comes out of the top, you're almost physically squeezing it out of the icon, from bottom-to-top, with an upward swipe, ya know?
Seems like a swipe down works better. The counter-movement action always seems weird at first but I like it - feels dynamic, and it doesn't leave my fat thumb sitting over the notice I'm trying to read.
This looks pretty and all, but exactly what problem are you solving?
One, much simpler interaction (tap on the icon) loads the app and displays this information and more. What benefit does this approach have over simply opening the app?
Oh, why are the top right corners of the YouTube and Maps-Apps folded in the Video? Not that it looks bad, but is it another idea? I'd love to hear more.

@David This clears the badges quicker, and opening the app is slower.

My take on: Dynamic Badge
by Stephen Revesz
The idea for a dynamic badge in iOS is really great and I simply wanted to recreate it in a way I believe Apple would have made it.
Re-uploaded because it wasn't centered properly.
