What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Background an IM app (using backgrounder)
2. Receive IM (hear app notification)
3. Observe no notification whatsoever from status notifier.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Most people expect audible or visual notification via the status bar once
an unread IM comes in. This does not happen since the APP (fring, AIM, etc)
does not update it's icon badge status except during a "close application"
request. When these applications close, they evaluate whether there are any
unread messages and then update the badge status. This even goes for when
you have badge on the icon and open the app. If you read the message the
icon wont update until you close the app. Most applications from the app
store do this "on close request evaluation" because they do not expect to
be "backgrounded"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This is the case with the latest versions of AIM, FRING, OS 2.2,
StatusNotifier 0.2.11

Please provide any additional information below.
Until applications are backgrounder aware, this in not an issue with status
notifier.

I've noticed this still happening with AIM Free on 3.0 where AIM gets push notifications.  I have a badge next to 
my AIM icon but no status bar indicator.  I tried to enable it by editing the plist and it still doesn't work for me.

I noticed that this is from 1-2 years ago. I would also like to know if there is
finally a solution to this regard.
