About callback listeners

ChannelIO only maintains callback listeners only one per each event. That means, if you implement like

ChannelIO.onChangeBadge((count) => {
  console.log('first count is ' +  count);
})

ChannelIO.onChangeBadge((count) => {
  console.log('second count is ' + count);
})

only the second log will be executed when the callback is called. The reason behind this is because we want to eliminate unexpected behavior by misusing these callbacks. If you really need to listen same event on different place simultaneously, please use ChannelEventEmitter directly.
