One fundamental question: what does “local” in Local Notification mean?

A:      “local” as in local Wlan 
        i.e. a local Notification gets sent to all iOS and watchOS devices in 
the local Wlan

B:      “local” as inside the same app
        i.e. i.e. a local Notification gets sent just to the sending app.

I want to communicate between iOS app and watchOS app without using Apples 
servers.
If (as some tests seem to indicate) B is true, then this would be useless for 
my purpose.
How could one then communicate between iOS app and watchOS app?
