LocalNotification for iOS - ios

Question

I am implementing local notifications in my iOS app. Actually, I have a implementation with a method when i have created a notification :
-(void)setAlarmAction: (NSDate *) notificationDay days: (NSNumber *) day alert : (NSNumber * ) priority name:(NSString * ) nameNotification {
NSDate *notificationDate = notificationDay;
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (localNotification == nil) {
return;
}
localNotification.fireDate = notificationDate;
localNotification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"Quedan %# dias" , day];
localNotification.alertAction = #"Ver Documento";
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]applicationIconBadgeNumber]+1; //aumenta en uno el numero de notificaciones
////////////
NSDictionary *infoDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"notification" forKey:nameNotification]; //1º que se guarda , 2º con que clave
localNotification.userInfo = infoDictionary;
////////////
NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:localNotification];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:data forKey:nameNotification];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
// Get list of local notifications
NSArray *localNotifications = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications];
for( UILocalNotification * local in localNotifications) {
NSLog(#"Notificacion: %# fecha :%#",local.alertBody,local.fireDate.description);
}
}
-(void) launchNotificacion:(Documento *)document {
self.txDate.text = document.text;
}
I want the app run in background and when it appear on the tabBar, i can push it and it go me to a concret view and launch a few data. I did it in the didFinishlaunchingWithOptions.
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//self.viewDocumentForm
VTDocumentFormViewController *VTDocument = [[VTDocumentFormViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VTDocumentFormViewController" bundle:nil];
UILocalNotification *notification = [launchOptions objectForKey:
UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (notification) {
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController: VTDocument animated:YES completion:nil];
Documento *reminderDocument = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Documento" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
reminderDocument = [notification.userInfo objectForKey: key ];
[self.viewDocumentForm launchNotificacion:reminderDocument];
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = notification.applicationIconBadgeNumber-1;
}
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;
}
But it doesn't work and i don't know the reason. Please, help.

didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: with UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey in launchOptions will be invoked only if app was suspended/killed before localNotification.fireDate reached.
If you'r app is just in background (not killed) or active you'll got
application:didReceiveLocalNotification: fired
Also i don't see in your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: where did you register user notification settings (for iOS8)… smth like:
if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge;
UIUserNotificationSettings *mySettings =
[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:mySettings];
}
