I need to create sticky button which is on screen like hike button in ios
If i detect that application(WhatsApp) state event so i solve this problem. Thats why i need to create another application launched event.
Thank you in advance.
Apps on iOS are sandboxed and can not directly communicate with other apps directly. There are some API's in the iOS SDK which allows some interaction, mostly audio, share of items.
Apple does not expose to you app if an other app is launched, so checking that an other is launched is not possible.
The second issue is that you can draw on de screen outside of you own apps windows. So you will not be able to draw a button on top of some other app.

I am trying to check for keyboard notification show/hide outside of my ios apps. I tried to run keyboard notification in the background, did not work.
I expected to switch to a different app or homescreen and my ios app should detect whether keyboard is shown or hide when i'm outside my ios apps.
it is not possible since app do not communicate with each others by default. just like in the previous answer, it's because of sandboxing. If you could tell what you want to achieve, we might be able to help
I am creating a conference app for iOS 9, which makes a call. Once call is made it takes user to native iPhone screen. Later user can come back to our app to do various tasks, when call is running in background. We need to give a user option to control that iPhone speakers On/Off from our app itself.
But unfortunately, we are not able to find any document or sample on ths.
Kindly advice us how to achieve ths functionality.

If yes, can show me how it can be done?
Sorry for my lousy English.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, you cannot do this on a non jailbroken iOS device. Each app is only responsible for what's going on inside the app. There are some exceptions to this (you can run certain logics in the background, subscribe to be woken up as a result of a certain notification, or provide an extension for the user to add to their Today screen or use via other apps), but you have no control over the user's home screen. Positioning the icons there is in the sole responsibility of your user.
I am developing an iphone app for my internal purpose(dont want to put it on App Store).
I want Some functionality similar to built in VoiceOver Application in iPhone.
In my app, i want my app to be kept in background, and when user touches to any button,textfield or any UIElement, then my backgrounded app should be able to know the accessibility label of that element which was touched by User and then perform some action(similar to speech in voiceover). Is there any private apis available to get this detail. If it is possible for jailbroken, then still it is OK for me.
You should try to use IOHid framework to do this.
Look at this question, because it has the code how to do this:
iOS touch event notifications (private API)
Although, I am not sure this method is still applicable in iOS 7 (I believe it was discussed in iOS 6 timeframe).
My question:
I have an iOS app, it is minimized, and I want it to start when user press home button three times (or, for example combination of buttons, like "HOME+Volume-" and so on). Can I make it for non-jailbroken devices, only with native iOS functions?
It's not possible to customise iOS like that.
Without jailbraking, apps can only be opened by using custom URL schemes from other apps or by normally tapping on the on the home screen. To have an app open like this you would have to modify the OS and there is no way you can do that without a jailbreak.
Standard OS functionality like pressing the home button multiple times cannot be overridden because Apple is really against modifying any part of way the user interacts with apps or the OS.
No.
Not possible without jailbreak and then it would have to be some sort of preference in the OS settings.
