For normal push notifications, when something new is added to a site, a push notification is sent to the device.
So if I want to test if push notifications work how do I do that?
I tried creating triggers and Geonotes on the console with the present location I receive on my iPhone. And then tried running the triggers hoping to receive a push notification, but unfortunately I am not getting any push notification.
What am I doing wrong?
I hope someone can help me with this.
You can use the message/send method to test sending a message directly to a device.
The simplest way is to log in to your own Geoloqi account from within your app, and then use the API console to send a message to your device. You can of course also send messages to other accounts, just take a look at the doc page for message/send.

my App is an app like Uber app, I sent a task to all my drivers this will be by a push notification.
But when a driver accepts the task first I need to remove the sent push notifications from all drivers devices so it won't be show in the notification center.
I search a lot about this issue, but no answers!
anyone try to delete a specific push notification from the notification center after sent it?
thanks.
You need to send a silent push-notification that triggers a local notification with a specific identifier.
This identifier should be send inside the silent push notification, that also should carry all information the driver should see in the local notification.
you need two types of push-notifications: show, hide.
got the point?
On iOS5, the push notification shows on the top bar and not block user. When the push notification is showing and user click our application but not the push bar, our app will launch normally. However, we want to cancel the push notification at that time. Is it possible ? Thanks a lot!
Short answer: No. There is no way you can manipulate sent notifications as far as I know.
Slightly longer answer:
Once a push request has been sent to the Apple Push Notification servers, thats it. It disappears into their system and they will then try to deliver it on a 'best effort' basis. You receive no feedback about its status or any ability to change/delete it.
The only form of feedback you can get is about which devices do not wish to receive push notifications that you tried to send to.
If you want to send delayed notifications which can be cancelled/modified at later data, either write you own solution, or use some pre-existing solution (e.g Urban Airship).
Is it possible to tell user what were about recently received push notifications ? I mean, if user clicks cancel when push was received, there is a badge on the icon of my application, but that's all. I think this is not user friendly and such notifications have no sense. When user opens an application, he knows that there is something new in it, but don't know exactly what. Do I need to make some requests to my web server to have information about my last pushes or I'm missing something and there is another way ?
From the implementations of push notifications I've worked with so far, you'll need to make a call to your server when the app actually starts up in order for the app to know what the new information is. I don't believe there's any way to store received push notifications unless your app is opened and handling them in the app delegate. Otherwise if push notification is closed it's discarded.
In all the apps I've worked with that utilized push notifications there was a place in the app where all the recent notifications were displayed after a call to the server was made to get the whole list.
I was successfully configured push notification and it sends notifications to other users well. However when I want to send a remote push notification to the same phone Im using it doesnt get any. However I know we can use local notifications but due to my requirement it has to be a push notification. Is there any blocking scenario where it doesnt allow the push to come to the same phone?
Thank you
I'm using apn_on_rails to integrate Apple's Push Notifications with my service.
For a while, notifications seemed to be sent without issue. But now the notifications don't seem to be making it to people's iPhones/iPads.
According to our database, the notifications are being sent (apn_on_rails has a sent_at field that gets updated when the notification is sent). But no one (myself included) actually get the notifications.
Any ideas where to even start looking to debug this?
Notifications are not displayed if the app is running.
You can check the error response of the sending.
