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 want to show local notification on every saturday like this,
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat=#"EEEE";
NSString *dayString = [[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]] capitalizedString];
NSLog(#"day: %#", dayString);
if([dayString isEqualToString:#"Saturday"])
{
NSLog(#"Success");
[self PushNotification];
}
-(void)PushNotification
{
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.alertTitle = #"Test";
localNotification.alertBody =#"test of notification";
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDateComponents *componentsForFireDate = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitWeekOfMonth | NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute| NSCalendarUnitSecond | NSCalendarUnitWeekday) fromDate: [NSDate date]];
[componentsForFireDate setWeekday: 7]; //for fixing Saturday
[componentsForFireDate setHour: 17]; //for fixing 5PM hour
[componentsForFireDate setMinute:0];
[componentsForFireDate setSecond:0];
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfMonth;
}
but my local notification is display in every minit then how can i display notification on every Saturday of the week.
thanks.
Try to declare fireData property in localNotification and schedule your notification
localNotification.fireDate = componentsForFireDate.date;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
Hope this help
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'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];
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [gregCalendar components: NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];
[dateComponents setYear:[dateComponents year]];
[dateComponents setMonth:[dateComponents month]];
[dateComponents setDay:[dateComponents day]];
[dateComponents setHour:18];
[dateComponents setMinute:0];
UIDatePicker *dd = [[UIDatePicker alloc]init];
[dd setDate:[gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents]];
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",self.date,self.city];
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notification.repeatInterval = 0;
[notification setFireDate:dd.date];
[notification setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
I'm building an application that allows the user to have a local notification to repeat every weekday, because apple doesn't have a repeat interval for WeekDays I needed to create a local notification for every week day. I made a for loop looping 5 times the number of days in a work week. However it doesn't seem to be firing. But when I got to delete the notifications I see all five, the just wont fire. This is what my code looks like.
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = _alarmTime;
localNotification.alertBody = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
localNotification.alertAction = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification.soundName = #"sound_ring.caf";
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponent = [gregCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit fromDate:_alarmTime];
switch (_repeatInt) {
case 1:
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitDay;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
_repeatString = #"Everyday";
break;
case 2:
//Attempting to create 5 local notifications with different days but same time.
for (int i = 2; i <= 6; i++){
[dateComponent setWeekday:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [localNotification copy];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%D",i);
}
If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Thanks in advance.
Update:
NSDate *startDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
[dateComponent setMonth:0];
[dateComponent setDay:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
[dateComponent setYear:0];
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponent toDate:startDate options:0];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [localNotification copy];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%D",i);
Okay I was finaly able to get local notifications to repeat every weekday, I added [setHour] and [setMinute] as well as changed the int in the for loop to a NSUInteger. Here is my code below.
NSCalendar *gregCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *dateComponent = [gregCalendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekCalendarUnit fromDate:_alarmTime];
switch (_repeatInt) {
case 1:
localNotification.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitDay;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
_repeatString = #"Everyday";
break;
case 2:
for (NSUInteger i = 2; i <= 6; i++) {
NSDateComponents *components = [gregCalendar components:(NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute) fromDate:_alarmTime];
NSInteger hour = [components hour];
NSInteger minute = [components minute];
[dateComponent setMinute:minute];
[dateComponent setWeekday:i]; // 2 = mon // 3= tues // 4 = wends // 5 = thurs // 6 = fri
[dateComponent setHour:hour];
NSDate *fireDate = [gregCalendar dateFromComponents:dateComponent];
UILocalNotification *localNotification2 = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification2.fireDate = fireDate;
localNotification2.alertBody = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification2.timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
localNotification2.alertAction = #"Wake up or pay-up!";
localNotification2.soundName = #"sound_ring.caf";
localNotification2.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitWeekOfYear;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification2];
NSLog(#"%lu",(unsigned long)i);
}
They don't fire because the date you give them is invalid.
Here's how I generated the date for X number of days in the future:
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay) fromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSDate *startDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
[components setMonth:0];
[components setDay:X];
[components setYear:0];
NSDate *endDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:startDate options:0];
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.
