I have got push notifications working on my iOS application. I am able to receive the push notifications right away when the app is in focus. If the app is in the background, the push notifications get populated in the notification tray.
My issue is this. If I do not click on the notifications in the notification tray, the 'callback' event does not get called even when i get the app in focus.
I would like to know if there is a method in appcelerator which allows me to find if there are notifications related to my app pending in the tray (Something like Silent Notifications). Is there anything that i can use to achieve this?
I have googled and am unable to find a solution for this. Any thoughts or ideas are sincerely appreciated.

I have an app in which I am using an FCM notification when there is an event from server.
I want to get the notification data and update the message from one of the parameter from Notification Payload when app is in background, foreground or killed.
I have tried to use Silent Push Notification with Content Available but when my app is killed, then I am unable to receive callback in my App delegate.
I have tried lots of links from StackOverflow but could not get the perfect suggestion.
If you find duplicate, then please provide me the link but solution with different iOS (12,13,14,15) versions.
My problem is just like this Stack Link
It sounds like what you want is a Notification Service Extension. This is a separate binary (packaged with your app) that can run when a notification is received. Your extension can intercept the push-notification payload, and modify it, so that other things can be displayed.

This is also really good, too.

I have implemented AWS SNS push notification service.
We have an issue which is explained below :
Scenario :
We are trying to save the notification message we receive as a part of requirement.
When the app is killed (swipe out from recent apps) we are able to receive notification, also we are able to save the notification message when we open the message directly from the notification panel it works fine,but when we open the app directly the notification message is not getting saved.
In short we are not able to know if we had received a notification message if we directly open the app rather than clicking the message from the notification panel.
Is this default behavior ? or is there any work around for this ?
Have looked into many posts on about Push Notifications but haven't seen any threads pointing to this scenario.
This is a normal behavior, and there is no workaround.
If your app is killed by the user, it won't be able to run ANY code before it's manually launched again.
If it's manually launched from a notification, this notification's payload will be handled by your AppDelegate.
On top of that, don't forget that Push notifications are Best Effort. That means that they are not reliable, they can be heavily delayed or never delivered at all. Don't rely on Push notifications to achieve any critical work.
If you need to keep a copy of your notifications in-app, keep them server side and fetch them as you would do with any other object.
In order to execute code when the app is killed by the user you need to implement VOIP using PushKit framework provided by apple.
VOIP push unlike regular push notification enables the app to become active even if the app is killed by user.
I cant find a clear answer about this in the Titanium documentation. Is it possible to directly respond to a push notification while the app is killed ?
I know that the callback is called when you open the app trough the push notification. but is there a way to respond when the app is opened manually ?
I tried to use remote-notification as UIBackgroundModes, but this only helps for paused apps.
My goal is to show the push notification in a in-app message center.
You should never rely on push notifications to deliver you payloads, they are too limited for that. If the user receives 5 push notifications and opens the app via the app icon, you will never receive any of the payloads. If he opens the app via one of those notifications you will only receive that payload.
You could use silentpush:
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Background_Services-section-37539664_iOSBackgroundServices-SilentPush
But the app should always query a back-end to get the actual data. That's how WhatsApp does it as well, as you can see when you open it via a notification it will then still fetch the message(s) form the server.
I am creating an IOS application that makes use of PUSH notifications. When I send a PN, I send data to my application. IF my app is not active, I can then click the notification in the notification center to update the data in the app. However, IF I do not click the notification and I just resume the app via the launch screen, the app does not update correctly. Is there a way to update the apps pending notifications even if I don't press the notification center button and I just resume the app from the launch icon?
I have been scouring the internet with no luck. I have also tried to put the notification in a NSMUtable Array in the application delegate with no luck.
thank you in advance.
Without you having a list of notifications that the app can download from the server you won't have a consistent solution so that is the best bet.
If you turned on background fetch for your notifications then the app could maintain a list of the received notifications, but this approach would fail for any notifications coming in after the user had force quit the app.
Is there a way to show or list Apple push notifications on any user page?
It's pretty hard to find where is the alert message is received.
Here is the Xamarin doc for Remote Notifications: http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/application_fundamentals/notifications/ios/remote_notifications_in_ios/.
iOS handles the push notification for you, your app is only informed of a push notification if you app is running in the foreground or when the user clicks on the notification and you app is opened.
With the iOS SDK there is no way to get a list of notifications for you app, the best way to create this is by keep a list server side.
Have a look at MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplicationDelegate.ReceivedRemoteNotification Method
