Different notification icons in push notifications
Hello everyone, I've been looking everywhere and as far as I understand, the following is not actually possible, but.. could you guys confirm? Is it possible to have different icons for different push notifications on the same iOS application? For example: let's say that I'm displaying a Banner notification as described here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Concept ual/MobileHIG/NotificationCenter.html the icon displayed will be the app icon included in the info.plist, right? Is there any chance to have different icons instead? (one icon for a "POSITIVE/APPROVED/ETC" notification and other ICON for "DENIED/NEGATIVE/ETC" notification..) Thanks in advance, Claudio M. E.

RE: Issues with applications running on background (Alarm Application)
Hello everyone, Thanks so much for all your responses. I think that I will rely only on the Local Notifications then. Claudio M. E.

RE: Issues with applications running on background (Alarm Application)
Hi Jens, “What behavior, that you've seen in an existing 3rd party app, are you trying to implement?” Good question. I’m not really sure if the features that I’m trying to implement are actually doable on iOS :( For most of the alarm apps out there, AFAIK they are using Local Notifications. I was expecting to display a custom view / display a sound / bring an app to the foreground at any given time. Local Notifications seems to be the closer that I can get. Is there any other way to build something like that? AFAIK, remote notifications works pretty much the same as Local Notifications, right? Thanks in advance. Claudio M. E.

But there’s no way to load any custom view dispatched right from the LocalNotification, at least no with a previous user interaction. Correct. The notification does not start up your app or run any app code. You don't have much control over the display of a local notification. All you can specify is the wording and a sound and a numeric app badge. If the user presses a button in the notification, that can launch your app. What behavior, that you've seen in an existing 3rd party app, are you trying to implement? —Jens ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

RE: Issues with applications running on background (Alarm Application)
Thanks Kyle, based on my debugging, the default limit is 180 secs. But you can start the process again, and fire up a new background task. Claudio M. E.

Do you guys have any idea about that? No. There is a hard limit of how long a background task will keep an app alive.

Issues with applications running on background (Alarm Application)
Hello everyone, I’m just starting with iOS and this is my first question on this list. So please, apologies if this is a newbie question. I’m trying to build a simple Alarm app. The application needs to show a custom image + play a custom sound when the alarm is dispatched. · I’ve started by using UILocalNotification, however, when my app goes to background, I’m receiving the scheduled Notification, as expected, but I didn’t find a way to load my custom image or playing the custom sound. I’ve found several examples of Alarm apps on github using this approach, but it doesn’t look the right approach for me · I’ve also tried to use a NSTimer and iterate an array of alarms. This approach works while my application is on the forground. But as soon as it goes to background, the timer stops. What do you think? What’s the best approach to build something like this?
