/*
+creationBlockForText:
Returns a block, don't know what the arguement is, SpringBoard sends nil (*context maybe, delegate like callback?).
The block returns a image, SBIconBadgeImage, or mostly nil.
The block accepts an NSString.
The block takes the string, splits it in 2 at the first space it finds.
The block creates a badge with the contents of the second part of the string.
I don't know what it does with the first part of the string.
[SBIconBadgeImage creationBlockForText:nil](" 1")
