How to keep app badge number but clear notifications Galaxy S8?

I like being able to see how many unread items are in my apps. I also enjoy getting notifications for new items.

What I want to stop is when I clear my notifications all of the app badges reset to zero, even though I haven't opened the app yet.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
