In case the user is busy and didn't check his notifications in the notification centre. I don't want my notifications to get stacked. that may lead to removing the app. by user.
Therefore, when a notification receive I want to clear all previous notifications my app. sent and keep only the new one.
Is that possible?
Note: I want to remove them before they got clicked. If one got
clicked I can remove them easily in didReceiveRemoteNotification.

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.
Do I want to know if it's possible to detect when a notification from another application is over my app? For example, when the user receives an SMS or Messenger message. Detect the fact that a notification is present on the screen. I don't want the content of the message.
It's an example, It can be a notification for whatever. Because, when a notification is visible, my player's lost because a part of the UI is under the notification. So, if I know when a notification is visible I can change the layout.
It's not possible to handle notifications from other apps. It would be a huge privacy violation.
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 use a phone gap plugin and xcode 5.
Lets see the example of the problem:
The application is in background or closed.
I send the notification.
User sees the notification pop up, without clicking on it.
I send another notification.
If user open notification bar it will see two notification actually i want
to delete the previous some how and present to user only the second notification.
The eqvivalent in java is NotificationManage.cancelAll();
For now each/all notification i send are shown when user open notifications bar.
Any help appreciated.
You have (the app has) no control over that.
The user controls how many notifications they see in notification center. Notifications can be removed by the user and will be removed when acted upon (the app is opened from the notification).
You can do this by [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
in the method didReceiveRemoteNotification. In this way notification center will be cleared.
I am using push notifications in my app and I would like to send user to particular view, not the view he last saw. Is it possible?
You need to implement the appropriate AppDelegate messages.
Specifically, you will receive the APNS payload on the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
You might also receive the payload in a different message, application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: if the application is active.
Then when you know that your app was launched because the user touched a notification, you can direct him to a specific view accordingly.
I don't think that you have control over what the user sees while app is starting app (opening animation). After the app is fully active, you can send him wherever you want to by opening proper view controllers, setting proper tab, etc...
