I want to have 5 local notifications every day and here is the code I used to trigger local notification, everything is cool, but if the first notification comes out, and if I run the APP foreground， than or the other notification will not come out. Please help to keep all the notifications even if I run the APP foreground. 😊

If your App is in foreground No notification is presented but this below method will be called,
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
}
First you should identify the notification by userinfo attached in it.(if you haven't given, give userinfo to every notification.)
present any alert when you get a call in this method.

I am create a local notification with 10 days and at 15:30 when app exit. Here is a code:
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
float day = 10;
NSDate *newDate = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*day];
NSDateComponents *componentsForFireDate = [calendar components:(NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit | NSWeekdayCalendarUnit) fromDate: newDate];
[componentsForFireDate setHour: 15];
[componentsForFireDate setMinute:30];
[componentsForFireDate setSecond:0];
NSDate *fireDateOfNotification = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForFireDate];
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = fireDateOfNotification;
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] + 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
When I try change date & time in the my phone to the next day (now + 1), It's still show notification, next day, still show. I want local notification show each 10 days when app exit. Any suggests to fix this problems ?
try this code: your app open after 10 day notification fire and other 1 day fire.
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *componentsForFireDate = [calendar components:( NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit | NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitYear) fromDate: [NSDate date]];
componentsForFireDate.day = componentsForFireDate.day + 10;
[componentsForFireDate setHour: 15];
[componentsForFireDate setMinute:30];
[componentsForFireDate setSecond:0];
NSDate *fireDateOfNotification = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForFireDate];
NSLog(#"Date: %#",fireDateOfNotification);
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = fireDateOfNotification;
localNotification.alertBody = #"This is local notification!";
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitDay;
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] + 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
hope this code help you.
After changing the time in your system, please check the simulator time also. initially it not updated.
In simulator settings, General->language & region-> Advanced-> Automatica switch will be on mode. select off and on. then you simulator time will also change
I want to get a random string from an array and then display this everyday at 7am.
Here is the code in my AppDelegate.m
-(void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
QuoteTableViewController *quoteVC;
int randomlyGeneratedNumber;
randomlyGeneratedNumber =arc4random()%[quoteVC.arrayOfOurQuotes count];
NSString *stringOfTheDay = [[NSString alloc] init];
stringOfTheDay = [quoteVC.arrayOfOurQuotes objectAtIndex:randomlyGeneratedNumber];
NSLog(#"%#",stringOfTheDay);
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *componentsForReferenceDate = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth ) fromDate:[NSDate date]];
[componentsForReferenceDate setDay:9];
[componentsForReferenceDate setMonth:11];
[componentsForReferenceDate setYear:2012];
NSDate *referenceDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForReferenceDate];
NSDateComponents *componentsForFireDate = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond ) fromDate: referenceDate];
[componentsForFireDate setHour:7];
[componentsForFireDate setMinute:0];
[componentsForFireDate setSecond:0];
NSDate *fireDateOfNotification = [calendar dateFromComponents:componentsForFireDate];
// Create the notification
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (notification) {
notification.fireDate = fireDateOfNotification;
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
notification.repeatInterval = 0;
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:stringOfTheDay];
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
}
There is a error at this line when i run the code
randomlyGeneratedNumber =arc4random()%[quoteVC.arrayOfOurQuotes count];
There is an array in my other View Controller. I did import the view controller.
EDIT :
Array has strings inside but when imported into app delegate it becomes 0. How to fix this?
You need to implement 'arrayOfOurQuotes' as a property of your App delegate instead of the view controller. The view controller and therefore your array will not be around anymore when the view is gone - which is obviously the case if you have already entered the background.
I'm using location service in background to update my app every day. In background it parses the XML and sets local notification at 18h, but only if parsed data is different then "No warning". But I'm getting every day notification with same alert body even when I shouldn't. This is how I push notifications.
If(![self.city isEqualToString:#"No warning"]){
// We only need 1 notification
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];

I have Scheduled my local notification to fire at 4.00 pm and want that notification daily at 4.00 pm but the notification fires before time at 3.44 pm , 3.47 pm etc.
here is the code -
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:( NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit ) fromDate:self.datePicker.date];
NSDateComponents *timeComponents = [calendar components:( NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit) fromDate:self.datePicker.date];
[dateComponents setHour:[timeComponents hour]];
[dateComponents setMinute:[timeComponents minute]];
[dateComponents setSecond:0.0];
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"How are you feeling?"];
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotification.fireDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents];
localNotification.repeatInterval = kCFCalendarUnitDay;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
Try this:
NSDate *myDate = [NSDate date]; // Set your time here
myDate = [myDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:1*24*60*60];
UILocalNotification *notif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notif.fireDate = myDate;
notif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notif.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"How are you feeling?"];
notif.alertBody = #"Reminder is set";
notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notif.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notif];
Hope it will help you.
I've set up multiple Local Notifications on my AppDelegate for my universal app, 14 to be exact. These notifications have specific times and weekdays when they should fire.
The problem is that all of these notifications fire on a daily basis.
For example, I have a notification set for Saturday morning, but it has been showing up daily.
Please give me a suggestion or direction as to why my notifications are firing daily? I can't seem to find a solution.
Please check out my code, thanks!

To fire notifications at a specific day of the week at a specific time, the following code should work:
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponent = [gregCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];
[dateComponent setWeekday:2]; // For Monday
[dateComponent setHour:11];
[dateComponent setMinute:44];
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
[notification setAlertBody:#"GOOD MORNING!"];
[notification setFireDate:fireDate];
notification.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
[notification setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
The first part computes a date that is either on the next or on the previous monday.
The second part defines the notification with a repeat interval of one week.
It does not matter if the fire date is the previous monday, the "next fire date" will automatically adjusted to the next week. (You can verify that with NSLog(#"%#", notification).)
These lines are causing the notifications to repeat on a daily interval:
notification.repeatInterval = NSWeekdayCalendarUnit;
remove those lines and it should fix your problem. The docs say exactly what this property does:
If you assign an calendar unit such as weekly (NSWeekCalendarUnit) or yearly (NSYearCalendarUnit), the system reschedules the notification for delivery at the specified interval. The default value is 0, which means don't repeat.
