I'm trying to make it so a user can type in the text box what they need to be reminded of for a alarm to go off but if they type it in the notification doesn't show that reminder how do i fix this
You have to setup correctly your notification. Here an example with objective-c where I send a notification after 10 second.
- (IBAction)createNotification:(id)sender {
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10];
localNotification.alertBody = #"Put Here your reminder text";
localNotification.category = #"myCategory";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
}
The alertBody is the text you can customize and can be the text from a textbox or another control. I hope this can help you

I need to show certain local notifications while app is in the background. How can I do it, without the help of NSNotificationCenter?
Andrey Chernukha in first comment is right.
Here is the code to implement simple Local Notification:
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.repeatInterval = 0;
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSDate *dateToFire = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:10];
localNotification.fireDate = dateToFire;
localNotification.alertBody = #"Test local notification";
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
in my app I'm using UILocalNotification. I would like to show notification with icon like in here:
Here is my code responsible for creating local notification:
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notification.fireDate = date;
notification.alertBody = body;
notification.alertTitle = title;
notification.userInfo = userInfo;
notification.category = category;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
I found "alertLaunchImage" field in "UILocalNotification" object but it seems to not working. Can you please tell me how I can add custom icons to local notification?
I have question about push notification and the Notification Center. I have built an app and now I want to support notification the the time hits 0 I'm doing like countdown app shows the release date for games and title.
Should I use nsnotifcation center or push notification
You dont need Push Notifications you can acheive that with UILocalNotification. For Push Notifications you need coordination with server but for UILocalNotification you can do it inside your application so better try to use UILocalNotification
For simple UILocalNotification
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotificationalloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:60];
localNotification.alertBody = #"Your alert message";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
For UILocalNotification with timers
// Get the current date
NSDate *pickerDate = [self.datePicker date];
// Schedule the notification
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = pickerDate;
localNotification.alertBody = self.itemText.text;
localNotification.alertAction = #"Show me the item";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] + 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
// Request to reload table view data
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"reloadData" object:self];

I have an app that reminds user about a todo item every day but I do not not need to remind them if they already did it.
My approach to solve the problem is by creating a local notification that is fired up in a daily basis at a random time. When a todo item is already done for the day, I re-scheduled the local notification day to tomorrow by cancelling it and creating a new one dated for tomorrow. But this solution doesn't work. It seems like when you specify that a local notification is fired daily (repearInterval=NSDayCalendarUnit), it doesn't honour the fireDate day property.
Here is my code:
/*** notification is created like this ***/
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotif.fireDate = [self randomHourMinFromDate:[NSDate date]];
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotif.alertBody = #"A todo item is due!";
localNotif.alertAction = #"View Item";
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotif.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;
/*** some other part of the code ***/
NSArray *scheduledNotifications = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications];
UILocalNotification *notification = [scheduledNotifications firstObject];
// adds 1 day to notification fireDate
NSDate *newFireDate = [notification.fireData dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*1];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];
notification.fireDate = newFireDate;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or perhaps recommend a better solution? TIA!
I have a idea. When a todo item is already done for the day, cancel the notification and create a new one. Set firedate to the current date with same time, and set dateByAddingTimeInterval: 60*60*24.
localNotification.fireDate = [CurrentDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24];
May this could work.
I am developing an IOS application with phonegap and need to set local notification for it which will repeat on every friday and specified time
Also there is requirement that user will decide to receive or not the local notification
I recommend you read the following article on the topic which i found very helpful
http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/7/31/adding-local-notifications-with-ios-4.html
- (void)scheduleNotification {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
UILocalNotification *notif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notif.fireDate = [datePicker date];
notif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notif.alertBody = #"Body";
notif.alertAction = #"AlertButtonCaption";
notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notif];
[notif release];
}
}
This is just a basic outline of how it works but starting from this you should be able to schedule a notification.
