objective c - iOS and local Notifications -

is there way send local notification app app?

i need send notification app users every morning. so, can add code app, after user launch that, every morning or badge/notification?

you can add local notifications ios app doing following:

step one

register local notifications in app delegate:

-(bool)application:(uiapplication *)application didfinishlaunchingwithoptions:(nsdictionary *)launchoptions {      // register app local notifcations.      if ([application respondstoselector:@selector(registerusernotificationsettings:)]) {         [application registerusernotificationsettings:[uiusernotificationsettings settingsfortypes:uiusernotificationtypealert | uiusernotificationtypebadge | uiusernotificationtypesound categories:nil]];     }      // setup local notification check.     uilocalnotification *notification = [launchoptions objectforkey:uiapplicationlaunchoptionslocalnotificationkey];      // check if notifcation has been received.      if (notification) {          dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{              // run notifcation.             // call own custom method here.             // use [notification.userinfo valueforkey:@"notification_id"] associated notification id (you need assign id, when creating notification).         });     }      // ensure notifcation badge number hidden.     application.applicationiconbadgenumber = 0;      return yes; } 

step two

use following method create local notification:

-(void)savenotification:(nsstring *)description :(nsstring *)notificationid :(bool)locationcheck {      // create notification info dictionary     // , set notification id string.     nsmutabledictionary *userinfo = [[nsmutabledictionary alloc] init];     [userinfo setobject:notificationid forkey:@"notification_id"];      // setup local notification.     uilocalnotification *localnotification = [[uilocalnotification alloc] init];      // set notification id , type data.     localnotification.userinfo = userinfo;      // set notification description.     localnotification.alertbody = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"%@", description];      // set sound alert mp3 file.     localnotification.soundname = [nsstring stringwithformat:@"notification_sound_file.mp3"];      // set date notification or set     // location depending on notification type.      if (locationcheck == no) {          // fire date of choice.         nsdate *yourfiredate;          // set reminder date.         double interval = [yourfiredate timeintervalsincenow];         localnotification.firedate = [[nsdate date] datebyaddingtimeinterval:interval];         localnotification.timezone = [nstimezone systemtimezone];          // set notifcation repeat interval.         localnotification.repeatinterval = 0; // no repeat.         //localnotification.repeatinterval = nscalendarunithour; // every hour.         //localnotification.repeatinterval = nscalendarunitday; // every day.         //localnotification.repeatinterval = nscalendarunitweekofyear; // once week.         //localnotification.repeatinterval = nscalendarunitmonth; // once month.         //localnotification.repeatinterval = nscalendarunityear; // once year.     }      else if (locationcheck == yes) {          // set locaton selected address co-ordinates.         cllocationcoordinate2d coordinates = cllocationcoordinate2dmake(latitude, longitude);         clcircularregion *region = [[clcircularregion alloc] initwithcenter:coordinates radius:100 identifier:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"region_%@", notificationid]];          // set notification presented         // when user arrives @ location.         [region setnotifyonentry:yes];         [region setnotifyonexit:no];          // set notification location data.         [localnotification setregion:region];         [localnotification setregiontriggersonce:no];     }      // save local notification.     [[uiapplication sharedapplication] schedulelocalnotification:localnotification]; } 

you need create own unique id, in order use method. id important, because distinguish between notifications (should need perform specific action depending on notification).

you can call above method so:

[self savenotification:@"test notification hello world" :@"unique id" :no]; 

don't forget replace latitude , longitude descried co-ordianted (if need location based local notifications).

step three

if app open (in foreground or via multitasking), need implement method in app delegate, in order handle notifications:

-(void)application:(uiapplication *)application didreceivelocalnotification:(uilocalnotification *)notification {      // check if notifcation has been received.      if (application.applicationstate == uiapplicationstateinactive) {          // app in running in background active,         // should user tap ios notification banner.          // call own custom method here.         // use [notification.userinfo valueforkey:@"notification_id"] associated notification id (you need assign id, when creating notification).     }      else if (application.applicationstate == uiapplicationstateactive) {          // app open in foreground         // need display alert or banner         // in app alert user.          // call own custom method here.         // use [notification.userinfo valueforkey:@"notification_id"] associated notification id (you need assign id, when creating notification).     }      // ensure notifcation badge number hidden.     application.applicationiconbadgenumber = 0; } 

a few other points keep in mind

• you can set maximum of 64 local notifications. (notifications repeat counted 1 local notification). https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iphone/reference/uilocalnotification_class/
• a local notification cannot have firedate , location region. if want same notification appear @ given time , location, have create 2 separate local notifications same description (one date , other location).

you can use following methods delete local notifications (or specific one):

-(void)deleteallnotifications {      // delete local notifications.     [[uiapplication sharedapplication] setapplicationiconbadgenumber:0];     [[uiapplication sharedapplication] cancelalllocalnotifications]; }  -(void)deletespecificnotification:(nsstring *)inputid {      // notification(s) data.     nsarray *notificationdata = [[uiapplication sharedapplication] scheduledlocalnotifications];      // loop through local notifcations , delete     // notifications match input id string.      (int loop = 0; loop < [notificationdata count]; loop++) {          // notification object.         uilocalnotification *localnotification = [notificationdata objectatindex:loop];          // if notification id matches input id delete it.          if ([[localnotification.userinfo objectforkey:@"notification_id"] isequaltostring:inputid]) {             [[uiapplication sharedapplication] cancellocalnotification: localnotification];         }     } }
