Why do the notifications not remain active after I watch it without reading it on Windows Phone 8.1?

Why the notifications do not remain active after I watch it without reading it on Windows Phone 8.1

Hello,

For example, when I get an email, there is a "1" on my email icon. If I go to my email, but I don't read the new one, the "1" is gone when I get back on the desk, same for the notification bar. Why? On Android, the "1" remains.

Thank you in advance for an answer!

Well, as much as I find it bothering, yet good (think of reading/opening all the emails' contents to get rid of the counter, OCD nightmare), I think that's the way Microsoft programmed it. Though, I noticed, it's not the case with the game AlphaJax. The notification remains if you just open the game, and not play it.
