I am making an app in which I am using apple push notification. When my app is in background state then I am able to receive notification as a banner but when my app is in active state then I am able to show an alert that you have received a notification through this code : -
(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
if (state == UIApplicationStateActive) {
NSString *cancelTitle = #"Close";
NSString *showTitle = #"Show";
NSString *message = [[userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"] valueForKey:#"alert"];
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Some title"
message:message
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:cancelTitle
otherButtonTitles:showTitle, nil];
[alertView show];
} else {
//Do stuff that you would do if the application was not active
}
}
but I want to show notification as a banner. What I'll do for it? Please suggest.
You can't, if your app is active(running in the foreground) the push notification is directly send to your app. The notification center will not handle the notification.
You will have to implement some kind of banner your self.

I have implemented notification in my app. When notification gets fired, alert is disappeared without pressing Ok or cancel button from alert view of notification and it also being disappeared from status bar. This is happening while application firing notification is either in background or in foreground. what would be the reason behind it?
I want to show notification alert till user is pressed OK or Cancel button, how could I achieve it?
Do I need to have some setting in notification setting or right some code for that?
My Code is as given below..
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter3 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter3 setDateFormat:#"dd/MM/yyyy / HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *toDate = [dateFormatter3 dateFromString:timeBut.titleLabel.text];
[dateFormatter3 release];
NSLog(#"toDate=%#",toDate);
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init]; //Create the localNotification object
[localNotification setFireDate:toDate]; //Set the date when the alert will be launched using the date adding the time the user selected on the timer
[localNotification setAlertAction:#"Launch"]; //The button's text that launches the application and is shown in the alert
[localNotification setAlertBody:[remTextField text]]; //Set the message in the notification from the textField's text
[localNotification setHasAction: YES]; //Set that pushing the button will launch the
[localNotification setSoundName:UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName];
//[localNotification setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:1];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification]; //Schedule the notification with the system
[localNotification release];
successalert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"DemoTable" message:#"Simple Reminder is successfully added" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[successalert show];
[successalert release];
I have implemented below method in appdelegate.
//Getting notification while running
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif
{
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"DemoTable" message:notif.alertBody delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
// delete the notification from the system
[application cancelLocalNotification:notif] ;
}
Thanks..
The default notification style in iOS6 is show the notification on the bar. In this case an alert will show for a few seconds and disappear, notification remains in the notification bar until user open it. This is the default behavior of the notification center. You cannot change that. The user of your app has to decide the style of the alert wether he needs old style alert notification or notification on the notification center. If he choose old style alert from the settings of the iPhone, then only you can prompt the user to open the app through the alert button action. Otherwise app will open when the user selects the notification from the notification bar. This is user preference you cannot do anything with that
I have an iphone application in which i am doing the push notification as an alertview.When my application is in the background state the push notification is coming,and when i am clicking on it or unlocking the phone it is directly entering in to the app where i have left it in the forground state.I am adding an action in the alert with a click on view button it is going to another view controller.I Dnt want to enter the application when i am clicking on the notification.I need to show the alertview and when clicking on the view button i need to do my action.Can anybody help me to achieve this.This is my code snippet `-
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
//check application in forground or background
if(application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
{
//NSLog(#"FOreGround");
//NSLog(#"and Showing %#",userInfo)
}
else
{
NSDictionary *curDict= [userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
UIAlertView *connectionAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"app" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[curDict objectForKey:#"alert"]] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"View" otherButtonTitles:#"Cancel",nil];
[connectionAlert show];
[connectionAlert release];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber =[[curDict objectForKey:#"badge"] intValue];
}
}
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
NSLog(#"applicationWillEnterForeground");
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
}
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
NSString *title = [alertView buttonTitleAtIndex:buttonIndex];
if ([title isEqualToString:#"View"])
{
NSArray *mycontrollers = self.tabBarController.viewControllers;
NSLog(#"%#",mycontrollers);
[[mycontrollers objectAtIndex:0] popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
mycontrollers = nil;
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0;
}
}
You show the UIAlertView to the user, When notification is received then the didReceiveRemoteNotification: function is called.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
NSLog(#"userInfo :%#",userInfo);
NSString* msg = [userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"];
if (self._VCObj.isViewLoaded && self._VCObj.view.window) {
// viewController is visible don't show.
}
else { // viewController is not visible
[[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Title" message:msg delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"ok" otherButtonTitles: nil] show];
}
}
}

If my App receives a UILocalNotification when it is active, I want to show my own UIAlertView and dismiss the system alert. Here's what I'm doing:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
{
UIAlertView *alert = ...
[alert show];
}
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];
}
My own alert shows up, but the system alert somehow remains in the system and is shown as soon as I exit my App.
What am I doing wrong?
Instead of setting [[UIApplication shareApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];
set it as [notification setFireDate:nil];.
I am developing a Push Notification enabled application for Iphone.
In My application I have two List View (UITableView)
1st for Category List and the 2nd is Contents List.
User clicks the desired category then the contents related to that category will be displayed then user will choose the contents and the contents will be displayed in detail view(generally a UIWebView).
Push notification is successfully coming in my application.
My requirement is:-
After VIEW button of Push alert is clicked application will directly display a particular
detail view (UIWebView)[Omitting category and contents list].
I have a unique ID for category and contents.
So will you please guide me how to relate a particular content with Push Notification and directly display of that content.
Thanks and regards.
HI,
I have solved the problem.
This is what I have done.
When application received push notification, it stored notification in launchOptions NSDictionary.
/* Push notification received when app is not running */
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
NSString *params=[[launchOptions objectForKey:#"UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey"] objectForKey:#"contTag"];
if ([params length] > 0 ) {//app launch when VIEW button of push notification clicked
//do some processing
........
WebViewController *webViewController =
[[WebViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"WebView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
// Put your custom code
[[self navigationController ] pushViewController:webViewController animated:YES];
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
/* Remote Notification Received while application was open. */
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
NSLog(#"remote notification: %#",[userInfo description]);
NSString *contentsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:#"contTag"];
NSLog(#"Received contents info : %#", contentsInfo);
NSDictionary *apsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
NSString *alert = [apsInfo objectForKey:#"alert"];
NSLog(#"Received Push Alert: %#", alert);
NSString *sound = [apsInfo objectForKey:#"sound"];
NSLog(#"Received Push Sound: %#", sound);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
//-----------------------APNS HANDLE----------------
UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
if (state == UIApplicationStateActive){
NSLog(#" It is in active state");
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[apsInfo objectForKey:#"badge"] integerValue];
}
else {
if ([contentsInfo length] > 0 ) {
// Do whatever u want for push notification handle
}
NOTE:
Here contTag is a key set in server side for pay load of push notification.
U can set any key in server side.
Hope it will help some body.
Thanks
I have implemented Apple Push Notification service using Urban Airship and successfully received the notification in my application. If i receive the notification the alert view comes, If i click the view button in alert view, it goes to start the application. Generally it happens in APNS. But my client wants, If any updates happened in the RSS feed and alert view comes, If we click the view in alert view, it should go to the particular feed in the application, doesn't start the application. SO is it possible to do that?. Is any possible to write the events for the particular alert view buttons in my application.
Here my sample code is,
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert];
[window addSubview:viewcontrollers.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
NSLog(#"remote notification2: %#",[launchOptions description]);
return YES;
}
In this method didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, i cant get the dictionary values and it always get the Null Value. Is any possible to get the dictionary value in this method(Notification comes).
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo{
NSString *message = [userInfo descriptionWithLocale:nil indent: 1];
NSLog(#"The message string is %#",message);
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: #"Remote Notification" message: message delegate: nil cancelButtonTitle: #"ok" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
In this method, i could get the dictionary value. But this method calls only,if any update happens while running in the application.
Please guide me!
Thanks
It is indeed possible to do that. In your application:didReceiveRemoteNotification method you'll be passed an NSDictionary with all of the push notification's data. What you'll want to do is send some ID or URL in the payload to Urban Airship. Something like:
{
"aps": {
"alert": "New RSS entry"
},
"entry_id": "XYZ123"
}
And then you can write code to go and fetch the proper feed entry in your application.
When the application isn't running or has been terminated by the system and the app is launched via the notification:
In this case you have to get the notification dictionary (which is itself a value of the launchOptions):
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006786-CH3-SW18
I imagine the code would be something like this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
NSDictionary *remoteNotification = (NSDictionary *) [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
if (remoteNotification != nil) {
NSString *message = [remoteNotification descriptionWithLocale:nil indent: 1];
}
}
