I am working on a project where I fire a local notification frequently also repeat notification.
After fired notification, if I delete the application and install it again (without opening it), I get all the old notifications.
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
}
*and then set remaining all notification in*
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
UILocalNotification *notif = [[UILocalNotification alloc]init];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notif];
}
Try this:
-(void)clearNotifications
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber: 1];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber: 0];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
}
put your code in App did finish launching method.so, when app launch then it's cancel the all notification.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//cancel All notification when app is launch
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
return YES;
}
Pls note that it cancel the all notification. if u want to cancel any particular notification then set it's tag and using tag cancel this notification.

I am using following code to handle push notification.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
if(application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive)
{
//************************************************************
// I only want this called when user click on notification.
//************************************************************
NSLog(#"Inactive");
if ([[userInfo valueForKey:#"noty_type"] isEqualToString:#"web"])
{
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[userInfo valueForKey:#"url"]]])
{
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue (DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[userInfo valueForKey:#"url"]]];
});
}
}
}
if((application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
{
// I am useing local notification when app in Forground
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.soundName = #"Default";
localNotification.alertBody = [userInfo valueForKey:#"msg"];
localNotification.userInfo = userInfo;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification: localNotification];
}
}
This code open the url in safari browser. this code work fine When my app in background and notification come and I click on notification check the applicationState and open the url with [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL.
now the scenario that generate the problem.
I open my app .
and Down the notification UI
now Send the notification from server
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler method get called.
Now I get the ApplicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive .
"It open into the safari browser without any user interaction".
I only want this called when user click on notification.
So, How can I handle this condition ?
Try this.
if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive || application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateBackground)
{
// do something when app open with notification
}
You have to know why the app is inactive. The two possibilities are that the app was in the background and the user is bringing it to the foreground (by tapping on the notification banner), or something like the notification center was pulled down or the user got a system alert.
To tell the difference, keep track of when the user enters the background. Just set a boolean in the applicationDidEnterBackground: delegate method, and clear it when the app is resigning active.
static BOOL didEnterBackground;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Launching the app is kind of like coming from background.
didEnterEnterBackground = YES;
return YES;
}
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {
didEnterBackground = NO;
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
didEnterBackground = YES;
}
Now you can check the variable didEnterBackground to determine how the app got to the inactive state when you're handling a notification.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive) {
if (didEnterBackground) {
// The user tapped the notification
}
else {
// The app was inactive, but not in the background.
// Ignore notification, or do whatever the app does
// when receiving a notification while active.
}
}
}
Hope this help you
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
}//iOS below 9
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
handleActionWithIdentifier:(nullable NSString *)identifier
forLocalNotification:(nonnull UILocalNotification *)notification
completionHandler:(nonnull void (^)())completionHandler {
// handling local and interactive notifcation
} // iOS 9 and above
Which is used to trigger the notification in background state.
I am using Repeat Local notofications to display alerts to the user. For this i used below code
UILocalNotification* localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.fireDate = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:60];
localNotification.alertBody = #"sss";
localNotification.alertAction = #"Show me the item";
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] + 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
Using NSNotification Centre i will call the local notification every 60 seconds. It is working fine.
Also in Appdelegate i use the following code:-
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
NSLog(#"Received");
UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
if (state == UIApplicationStateActive) {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"RestartProcess" object:self];
}
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}
Also
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UILocalNotification *locationNotification = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (locationNotification) {
// Set icon badge number to zero
NSLog(#"Yes Notid=fications is predsent");
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}
return YES;
}
My problem is when local notification starts, i pressed on home button then waited to display. After the time period display a notification message.
When i clicked on app icon the process is stopped.After that Local notifications not working.But when i was clicked on Notification Message it will works right.How i can fix the problem.Can any one help me to do this. Thanks in advance..
didReceiveLocalNotification is only called when you hit on notification messaage. If you want to do it in applicationDidBecomeActive you have to do it manually.
You can check badge number count(if notification consists badge) like :
-(void) applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
if(application.applicationIconBadgeNumber >= 1)
{
//Do you stuff here
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}
}
When you press home button:
UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
// at this time, state == UIApplicationStateInactive
When you click your application, i think you should implement in this method:
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
//state at this time is UIApplicationStateInactive
if (state == UIApplicationStateInactive) {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"RestartProcess" object:self];
}
}
Hope this helps you
I am currently working on one iOS app, in which I am using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval:UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum];. According to the docs I have implemented in this way .
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
NSLog(#"Launched in background %d", UIApplicationStateBackground == application.applicationState);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval:UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum];
i =0;
return YES;
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application performFetchWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
NSLog(#"Fetch started");
++i;
// Set up Local Notifications
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
localNotification.fireDate = now;
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotification.alertBody = #"BG Mode";
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = i;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
NSLog(#"Fetch completed");
}
My issue is I have tried to debug it to know how frequently this method is calling . I didn't get any clarification. I have tested with timeinterval 60 seconds, but that is also not working . Please give me any ideas or suggestions . Thanks in advance .
Just to clarify, you've also set the UIBackgroundModes in Info.plist as per Apple's documentation ...
This property has no effect for apps that do not have the UIBackgroundModes key with the fetch value in its Info.plist file.
If the user has alert style set to Banners. They can receive more than 1 notification without them being prompted to clear it. They then go to use their phone, and they have say 3 stored. If the click on the latest one & it opens the App, I want to only clear just this one notification, I also need to go badgeCount--;
How can I achieve it with the code below? (At the moment it's set to clearing all which I don't want...) I've also noticed that sometimes it DOES update the badge number. But if I toggle back to the iOS Home screen, and pull down the notifications menu, it's still there!
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
if([[userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"] valueForKey:#"alert"] != nil) {
NSString *message = [[userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"] valueForKey:#"alert"];
if(message != nil) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Usage Alert"
message:message delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:#"Ok", nil];
[alertView show];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber: 0];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
}
}
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
NSInteger badgeNumber = [app applicationIconBadgeNumber];// Take the current badge number
badgeNumber--; // decrement by one
[app setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:badgeNumber]; // set ne badge number
[app cancelLocalNotification:notification]; // cancel the received notification. It will clear the notification from banner alos
}
You can add
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
to your app delegate. This will be called and there you can use
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];
to remove the specific notification and decrement the badge count.
I want to warn against calling
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:bg_NUM]
from
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
method!
If your scheduled local notification with some badge number, then badge will be set asynchronously some milliseconds after enter to -didReceiveLocalNotification
for sample:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
// ^^^ maybe not reset badge to 0!! ^^^
}
another code:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
sleep(1); //waiting for system is set our scheduled badge
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
// ^^^ most chances for reset badge to 0 ^^^
}
Testing code, screen touches schedule local notifications
and calculate delay before system real set badge:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[[UILocalNotification alloc] init] autorelease];
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = rand()%100+1;
localNotif.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:1];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
}
[...]
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
CFAbsoluteTime startTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();
while ([UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber == 0) sleep(0);
NSLog(#"badge set: %d after %f sec.", [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber, CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()-startTime);
}
output:
badge set: 41 after 0.000839 sec.
badge set: 9 after 0.000754 sec.
badge set: 56 after 0.076026 sec.
badge set: 17 after 0.069889 sec.
badge set: 8 after 0.056245 sec.
badge set: 71 after 0.120729 sec.
badge set: 28 after 0.122720 sec.
badge set: 17 after 0.000758 sec.
this testing in iOS 4.2/4.3/5.0/6.1 on different devices
Be careful when you reset badge number in -didReceiveLocalNotification message!
(this true only for LocalNotification /not remote push/ and only if application is active on
receive moment)
I'm developing an iOS application, and I have to get local notification, BUT in case of application's state is inactive. I successfully get notifications when application is in background state.
So, is it possible to get local notification, when application is inactive?
Or maybe that's possible only by using push notification?

You need to respond to local notifications in two places in your app delegate:
- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
The first is for when your app was not running - use the launchOptions parameter to check if your app was launched due to a local notification.
The second is for when your app is currently running (active or inactive). You can check if the app is inactive by checking NSApplication's applicationState property in the application:didReceiveLocalNotification: method.
- (void)sendNotification
{
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
// notification.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;
localNotification.fireDate = vwPicker.date;
localNotification.alertBody = txtAlarmTitle.text;
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.userInfo = #{#"Title": txtAlarmTitle.text};
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationIconBadgeNumber] + 1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
[self handleNotification:notification application:application];
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (localNotification)
[self handleNotification:localNotification application:application];
return YES;
}
-(void)handleNotification: (UILocalNotification *)notification application:(UIApplication *)application
{
NSString *title = [notification.userInfo objectForKey:#"Title"];
[[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Smart Alarm" message:title delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Answer the Teaser" otherButtonTitles: nil] show];
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}
Sure, just use willResignActiveNotification notification listener as listed
