It's possible to track my app push notification in iOS?.
Something like google analytics for push notification.
I want to know the users who receive the notifications and the users who have disabled my app push notification. It's possible?

I want to know if I can receive payload from FCM in my iOS app, even if the user doesn't allow notifications for my app. I don't want to show them as notifications, i just want to handle their payload.
Does background messaging work without permission?
Does foreground messaging work without permission?
The Firebase Cloud Messaging APNs interface uses the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) to send messages up to 4KB in size to your iOS app, including when it is in the background.
Notification permission is required for both background and foreground work (even if your push notification is a silent one i.e no notification needs to be displayed)
You still need the user to allow the notifications, later on, you can implement the handling as silent or not, up to you.
In order to receive the payload you need, it must come from a push notification.
Is there any way to handle remote notification payloads before they’re delivered and display in notification centre?
With push notifications of default type there is no way to filter out notifications if the app is not in foreground.
The possible solution to this is to use VoIP push notifications in conjunction with PushKit.
VoIP pushes are always waking up the application, however they are not presented to the user and don't modify app badge value, so it's up to the developer to show a local notification upon the received VoIP push and to deal with app badge.
There is a technique with additional silent push that for example Facebook is using, to delete notification on iOS device when the message has been read on desktop web site. It's described here: https://www.pushwoosh.com/docs/deletable-ios-push
I receive push notifications on certain events from a notification server we have.
I do want these notification alerts to appear when the app is not active in the background/foreground
I don't want the notification alert to appear when the app is active in the background (foreground not a problem since the notification doesn't show anyway). I want to show my own local notification, only.
Is there any way to do this from code? Basically I want to hide the remote push notification and instead show a local notification when my app is active.
P.S - The notification server sending silent notifications is not an option - the server does not know when our app is running/not running. There is no communication between the app and this server.
You can notify your application first and then show a local notification with that. To perform this you can simply send content-available notification from server. This makes your app notified and then you can decide on showing local notification or not.
I created an app which receives push notifications from my server. At the same time, if some other app is sending push notifications (for e.g., whatsaap, twitter), the notification is getting displayed when I'm using my app. I want to hide all other app's push notifications except my app's push notifications. Can this be done in iOS? I want my app to receive push notifications only from my server but not from the other apps.
Thanks in advance.
Try to think like your customer. Would they like to receive the push notifications of the other apps (whatsapp, twitter, the notification that a very important email just arrived)? Of course they would. Your App is one of many and most probably not the most important one they own.
Let me provide some background first.
Your app can only receive notifications from your service/server.
The user might have apps that are receiving notifications from the respective service/server.
e.g. if the user has FB app, then it would be receiving notification from FB servers.
In the end, you are only responsible for managing your service/server.
There is no way for you to block notifications that are received from other services from your app.
Hope this helps.
I'm using Quickblox for chat and push notifications and I would like to let the users turn on/off push sounds from my app. (which means that the notifications should be silent)
Is there a way to set sounds off from arriving push notifications with Quickblox?
If you use Chat 2.0 (automatic push notifications for offline user.), you can set sounds off in Alerts tab, in Admin panel http://quickblox.com/developers/Chat#Alerts
If you send push notifications from application code - you can manage push payload by yourself
