Local Notification Not showing up when app opens - iphone

Question

I have a local notification set up. Once its fired, lets say my app is in "sleep" mode that is home button pressed or i quit it. Now the notification is received. I see red tag on my app and when I click on the app, it should fire didReceiveLocalNotification but it does't. How can I make it do that when I open my app?

Answer 1

The didReceiveLocalNotification method is only called when your application is running in the foreground. If you see a badge and click on the App to start it, then you need to process the local notification using application:willFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (or application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) To get at your local notification in either of these two methods, use UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey as a key to the options dictionary.
[edit] From the UILocalNotification documentation:
if the local notification only badges the application icon, and the
user in response launches the application, the
application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method is invoked, but no
UILocalNotification object is included in the options dictionary.

-(void)alarmNotification
{
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar];
NSDate *newdate = timePicker.date;
NSLog(#"pickerdate:%#",newdate);
NSDate *pickerDate =[newdate dateByAddingTimeInterval:-60*1];
NSLog(#"pickerdate:%#",timePicker.date);
// Break the date up into components
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:( NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit )
fromDate:pickerDate];
NSDateComponents *timeComponents = [calendar components:( NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit )
fromDate:pickerDate];
// Set up the fire time
NSDateComponents *dateComps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[dateComps setDay:[dateComponents day]];
[dateComps setMonth:[dateComponents month]];
[dateComps setYear:[dateComponents year]];
[dateComps setHour:[timeComponents hour]];
// Notification will fire in one minute
[dateComps setMinute:[timeComponents minute]];
[dateComps setSecond:[timeComponents second]];
NSDate *itemDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComps];
[dateComps release];
localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (localNotif == nil)
return;
localNotif.fireDate = itemDate;
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
// Notification details
localNotif.alertBody = txtMeetingName.text;
// Set the action button
localNotif.alertAction = NSLocalizedString(#"View!", nil);
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
// Specify custom data for the notification
NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"someValue" forKey:#"someKey"];
localNotif.userInfo = infoDict;
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber =1;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
}
Then implement this code......
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
// Handle the notificaton when the app is running
NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:notif.repeatInterval fromDate:notif.fireDate toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];
// you can set your own sound
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/win.wav", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]]];
NSError *error;
UIAlertView *alertView =
[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"move on", nil)
message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"You have to start %# meeting within 5 minute",notif.alertBody]
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:NSLocalizedString(#"OK", nil), nil];
notif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1;
if (audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"error%#",[error description]);
else
[audioPlayer play];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex: (NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if (buttonIndex==0) {
[audioPlayer stop];
}
NSLog(#"U HAVE CLICKED BUTTON");
}
hope this will help you.....
