Usage Badge Not Updated

The Usage Badge is a great feature but it is Not automatically updated - even when if it is running in the background. To see your usage and to get the badge updated, this app must be opened - extremely annoying.

Carriers now offer free data when using certain apps (like DirecTV on AT&T). The app should allow for this type of data usage exclusion.
