Before iOS 11 , when the app receive a notification while running in the foreground , the notification will not appear unless using a custom view to show it.
Is the way we handle the received push notifications while app is running in the foreground changed in iOS 11?
Try this in Appdelegate class
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
willPresent notification: UNNotification,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
completionHandler(.alert)
}
this is the delegate calls when app is in foreground and if you want to show alert as well then add .alert in completionHandler.
It is added in iOS 10 onwards

I have implemented push notification for ios10. Tapping on the notification alert would trigger "didReceive" delegate, were i save the notification in coredata or silent notification if i m in foreground. The problem is if i receive a stack of notification in background and When i bring my app to foreground from background, Is there a possibility to call "didReceive" delegate or any other push notification delegate were i could sync my items to coredata.
Note
I don't want to sync(didReceive or any delegate) the items in background using silent notification nor tapping on the alert. It should sync automatically the stack of push notification when i bring the app to foreground
func handleInboxNotification(didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any]) {
if let inboxValue = userInfo["inbox"] as? String, let value = inboxValue.boolValue(), value {
let mappedMessage = MessageCenterSDK.shared.constructReorderedDictionary(userInfo: userInfo)
MessageCenterDataManager.shared.synchronize(messages: mappedMessage)
messageCenterDelegate?.didFindNewMessages(hasNewMessages: true)
}
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
/// Handle outbound remote
handleInboxNotification(didReceiveRemoteNotification: response.notification.request.content.userInfo)
completionHandler()
}
I was facing the same issue, but my target was for iOS 13 & I'm using BGTaskScheduler to fetch data from the server in the background as well in terminated state.
I too want to trigger the notification when the app is in background. But not tapped but that seems to be not possible so we have changed our implementation by enabling background mode and it worked for me.
Hope it also helps.

you need to use willpresent delegate in appDelegate
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
willPresent notification: UNNotification,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
// Change this to your preferred presentation option
completionHandler([])
}
This delegate is called when a notification comes in foreground
Is there a way to post and show local notifications in the foreground?
If not, is there a way to "fake it"?
I need to make an iOS appear like an Android app, which does have notifications in the foreground.
For iOS 10 and next you can use UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate and see this post for more information. If you app run on 8 or 9 ios you should use 3d party libs (you can search)
Sample:
Add it to your delegate methods in the AppDelegate and conform to this protocol - UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
completionHandler([.alert,.badge])
}
Though till Swift 3 we used didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any] method its working fine, but in Swift 4 its not working. Does anyone have any idea about it ?
For displaying notification while app is in foreground, use the following method.
// This method will be called when app received push notifications in foreground
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void)
{
completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
}
According to apple documentation, you can display notification while app is running
I am writing a reminder app in iOS 10; my local notifications are send using the UserNotifications framework. Sending the notification works fine already; my problem is rather the background handling of the notification.
Earlier days, you could use didReceiveRemoteNotification in the app delegate for handling stuff like userInfo; now, UserNotification has apparently it's own methods.
I want to detect, generally, if in my absence a notification has arrived. Case: I received it, I tap open the app icon, bam: alert controller that says: you've received a notification.
I am using these both functions for it:
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (_ options: UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
print("Handle push from foreground")
UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "didReceiveRemoteNotification")
UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
print("\(notification.request.content.userInfo)")
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
print("Handle push from background or closed")
UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "didReceiveRemoteNotification")
print("\(response.notification.request.content.userInfo)")
}
But they ONLY work, if I access the app by tapping on the notification in Notification Center. So, how do I detect if I've received a notification in the scenario that I don't enter the app through the notification, but through the app itself?
It's working fine when application stay in background (remote notification). Problem is when I chatting with my one friend . New messages from other contacts I need to show like iOS notification alert banner like Facebook messenger. Also notifications available in my device notification list . I can't figure out how can do that ..
I found a answered Displaying a stock iOS notification banner when your app is open and in the foreground? but it is iOS 10 . I need to support minimum iOS 9 and project is swift 2
Adding that completionHandler line to appDelegate method solved my problem:
//Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
#available(iOS 10.0, *)
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
print("User Info = ",notification.request.content.userInfo)
completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
}
