2 or 3 times a day, so it doesn't drain battery, mostly if using apps that utilizes GPS.

Only specific apps for specific reasons. The iPhone manages RAM rather well. It's best to leave the background apps be for the most part. When an app gets closed, it takes more resources to start it back up than if you just leave it alone. There are a few exceptions that are last resorts to solve issues.

I do it every time I stop using an app. Bad habit from android, tho - becouse from one hand I know that iOS has good ram/battery management, but in other hand I'm afraid that if I would not do so, it would affect battery life ;/ I have 150 apps, so I wouldn't mind having them all on multitasking....
This is what I do also. I didn't know that closing apps drains the battery faster. Does anyone have an official article or link to confirm this? This is my first time hearing/seeing these statements.
What you need to do, is turn off Background App Refresh for all apps. Turn off Auto Updates for App Store. They update during the night. Turn off location services for Facebook and Twitter. I go to bed with 100% charge. I wake up with between 97% and 100% charge. I do not delete the background apps. The iPhone manages RAM very well. Starting the apps back up takes more battery than just leaving them be.
That's odd. Try turning background app refresh off for Skype. Then delete Skype by making the apps wiggle and tap the x. Then reinstall Skype. Check to make sure refresh is off. See what happens. Notifications and background app refresh should not be dependent on one another. I never heard of that with any app.For some reason Skype icon badges don't work with Background App Refresh Disabled. It will still show the notification on lockscreen and in the notification centre, but the icon badge only works when Background App Refresh is enabled for this app. I turned the option off for all other apps and would love to do so for Skype as well, but I can't find a workaround for this..
Still on Skype version 5.1.260 as the latest has terrible user reviews (two stars average).
