How do I identify an iOS notification indicator?

We have a Home button in our app that changes to display a small orange circle on the top right corner of it when there is a change. I thought this was just an attribute of the object that was being enabled/disabled. However, my dev says it should be in it's own hierarchy. After we both looked in TC, I don't see anything like it nested in my main Window the app runs in, where this Home button is also located. I also can't get it by itself on the object spy.

Is there a way to capture the properties and their state of an object and then compare the properties when the object is in another state? That way I could maybe figure out if this is just a property of the object?

Otherwise, any thoughts?

 

In the screen shot, you'll see the Button is what I'm focused on. The two labels and button comprise the entire control. When there is a change, I'm not noticing what attribute has changed to enable that orange indicator, and I'm not seeing any additional objects display in my object browser.

Thanks in advance.
