There are few ways I know of that would make this possible. One way is
a daemon, which is started every time the computer starts (or possibly
when you log in). The daemon then runs in the background and provides
notifications when necessary. Another way this is possible (a more

Unless you're running your app on a jailbroken iPhone, or you leave
your app running all the time, what you are asking is not possible.
IIRC, when the user takes a call, your app does not necessarily
terminated, but the user can choose to switch to the phone app, which
would kill your app.
I want to write a daemon for the iPhone. my goal is to record the
orientation of the phone across time for later analysis. I am unsure
how this could be done since it seems only one application gets to run
at a time i.e. when the user takes a call my program quits.
can this be done?
