Rx_Swift for Local and Push Notifications - ios

Question

How can I implement observable for Local notification and Push notifications when they are received.
In app delegate, We are notify on
didReceiveLocalNotification
and
didReceiveRemoteNotification
How can I listen these notification on other screen? I've used NotificationCenter for notify but now I want to use RX-Swift. I've tried with this way but not working.
extension UILocalNotification {
var notificationSignal : Observable<UILocalNotification> {
return Observable.create { observer in
observer.on(.Next(self))
observer.on(.Completed)
return NopDisposable.instance
}
}
}
Can anyone help me?

Hi, I found a solution for that using same way as you are used but some changes.
class NotificationClass {
static let bus = PublishSubject<AnyObject>()
static func send(object : AnyObject) {
bus.onNext(object)
}
static func toObservable() -> Observable<AnyObject> {
return bus
}
}
Send notification from AppDelegate:
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveLocalNotification notification: UILocalNotification) {
NotificationClass.send(notification)
}
Then observe on any other class.
NotificationClass.bus.asObserver()
.subscribeNext { notification in
if let notification : UILocalNotification = (notification as! UILocalNotification) {
print(notification.alertBody)
}
}
.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
Best thing of this class is we can emit and consume anyObject through it.

How about something like this?
// this would really be UILocalNotification
struct Notif {
let message: String
}
class MyAppDelegate {
let localNotification = PublishSubject<Notif>()
// this would really be `application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveLocalNotification notification: UILocalNotification)`
func didReceiveLocalNotification(notif: Notif) {
localNotification.on(.Next(notif))
}
}
let appDelegate = MyAppDelegate() // this singleton would normally come from `UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate`
class SomeClassA {
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
init() {
appDelegate.localNotification
.subscribe { notif in
print(notif)
}
.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}
}
let a = SomeClassA()
appDelegate.didReceiveLocalNotification(Notif(message: "notif 1"))
let b = SomeClassA()
appDelegate.didReceiveLocalNotification(Notif(message: "notif 2"))
I'm still learning RxSwift, so this might not be the best way to do it. However, it works.
