If a push notification comes thru, and the user taps "close" (to ignore the notification) is the app told about the event?
No, it's a one way path, after the user press the close button, its gone forever.

There is several situations when receiving a remote notification:
app is not launched at all
app is foreground
app is background
what I am looking for is that user haven't click the notification to launch or active the app. can we catch the receiving and do some thing in such three situation?
I know 2 is ok, how about 1 and 3, and how to do it? thx a lot.
somebody mentions widget or NotificationService? is it possible?
You can try adding a Notification Service Extension to your app.
iOS will launch your extension (NOT your app) in background when it receives a push notification. Obviously what you can do inside an extension is fairly limited.
There are two ways to be notified when your app moves to the background: implement the applicationWillResignActive() method in your app delegate, or register for the UIApplication.willResignActiveNotification notification anywhere in your app. This particular notification is sent as soon as your app loses focus, meaning that it's triggered when the user taps the home button once (to return to the home screen) or double taps the home button (to enter multi-tasking).
Question:
Is there a way to detect if you get a system notification and you swipe away the notification banner (e.g. the alarm that triggers a system notification)?
More practical example:
In your app, you are doing some stuff and suddenly you get a notification from another app. Instead of tapping on the notification, you swipe up the notification (you dismiss it that way). After doing that, I want to capture that in the app.
Why:
Currently, I have a bug in the app, so if I can capture this action, I would be able to fix this bug.
Thanks in advance!
When notification appears, the willResignActiveNotification won't get called, therefore willEnterForegroundNotification won't get called, too.
The best solution here is to catch incoming notification and show the custom view describing this notification instead of system one. Thus, you can detect all actions/timings you need.
Is there a way to prevent a remote notification in the Notification Center from being removed by the OS after it is tapped by the user? The tap invokes the app and didReceiveNotificationResponse() is called. I am not using badges in the notifications.
Apple is not allowing to persist the notification once after you open it.
What’s next
You can create a local notification from data you get from push notification when user taps on it. I have not tried the implementation but it should work in your usecase.
User will not be knowing whether it is local or push notification.
I've noticed that when a user receives a push notification, if he taps it from the notification panel (or manually launches the app, for that matter), it'll remove the notification from the panel. I suppose this is fine if it's a single notification, but what about if the user has multiple notifications? I wouldn't want it to clear all of them, just the one that was tapped.
I've been having trouble finding out information on this. I know it MUST be possible, because the Skype app does it. You receive 5 push notifications about unread messages on Skype, and if you tap one, it launches the app. However, it doesn't remove all the notifications from the panel, only the one you tapped. How are they doing this?
I receive PushNotification as badge as well as alert and are displayed as badges on the app icon.
I receive the payload successfully when I click on alert, which appears at top area of the screen.
But, if the notification is received and I click on the application icon i don't get the payload in any of below mentioned the methods.
application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:
So, what could be the problem or have I missed something in handling such case.
That would be expected behavior. You don't want to show the push notification for the user if he himself did not actively chose to to tap on the alert. If user is in your app while receiving notification you can ask the user if he wants to view it or dismiss it.
