Alerts appear on the lock screen, or briefly at the top of the screen when you’re using iPod touch.
You can see all current alerts by revealing Notification Center.
Reveal Notification Center: Swipe down from the top of the screen.

Many apps, such as Messages, Mail, and the App Store, can display an alert badge on their Home
screen icon with a number (to indicate incoming items) or an exclamation mark (to indicate a
problem). If these apps are in a folder, the badge appears on the folder. A badge with a number
shows the total number of items you haven’t attended to, such as email messages, text
messages, and updated apps to download. A badge with an exclamation mark indicates a
problem with an app.
