Local Notification in background - iphone

Question

Can anyone please tell me how to get a UILocalNotification while my app is in the background.
I am posting my code here. Thanks in advance.
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (localNotif == nil)
return;
localNotif.fireDate =[startDate addTimeInterval:60];
NSLog(#"%#",localNotif.fireDate);
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotif.alertAction = #"View";
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
NSString *notifStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hey looks like you're meeting up with %#, why don't you let your other friends know what fun they're missing out on? Share a photo :)",[itemDict objectForKey:#"fname"]];
NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:notifStr ,#"notifKey",nil];
localNotif.userInfo = infoDict;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
[localNotif release];

-(void)insert:(NSDate *)fire
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]cancelAllLocalNotifications];
self.localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (self.localNotification == nil)
{
return;
}
else
{
self.localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:60];
self.localNotification.alertAction = nil;
self.localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
self.localNotification.alertBody = #"Hey looks like you're meeting up with %#, why don't you let your other friends know what fun they're missing out on? Share a photo :)";
self.localNotification.alertAction = NSLocalizedString(#"Read Msg", nil);
self.localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber=1;
self.localNotification.repeatInterval=0;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:self.localNotification];
}
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]cancelAllLocalNotifications];
app.applicationIconBadgeNumber = notif.applicationIconBadgeNumber -1;
notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
[self _showAlert:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",Your msg withTitle:#"Title"];
}
- (void) _showAlert:(NSString*)pushmessage withTitle:(NSString*)title
{
[self.alertView_local removeFromSuperview];
self.alertView_local = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:pushmessage delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[self.alertView_local show];
if (self.alertView_local)
{
}
}
Hope this will help you :)

addTimerInterval is depcrecated in iOS 4.0, make sure you deployment target. You can use.
- (id)dateByAddingTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)ti
Also make sure you set the correct value for fireDate
