I am using local push notifications in my app. I need the users to have an option in the push notification section of the device settings page. Currently my app is not listed under the notification section. Is there a way so that apps with local push notifications would also be listed in this section. Or, the notification section only shows apps with Apple Push Notification Service.(Remote APNS)
The answer is already here. You can't be listed on settings->notifications, you handle it on your own in your app. But you can also (as mentioned in the previous answer) make your own Settings bundle (Apple documentation here).

Am converting apk to bar with push feature with reference of the below url,
http://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/creating_push-enabled_android_apps.html.
I installed the app in Blackberry Z10 and getting the device token. But my installed app is not listing the notification enabled apps section.
Is there any other parameter to be added "android.cfg" file to make it push enabled app ?
Thanks in advance,
JRH
If your app is push enabled then it is not automatically added to the notification section of BlackBerry settings. You have to implement notifications.
Notifications
I am currently updating my App, and I am planning on including Push notifications.
The main purpose for my push notification is to let users know that the app has been updated and they should check out the new features. Now with iOS7 automatically updating apps, users are less likely to open apps after they have been updated, let alone KNOW it has been updated. As a lot of users will just clear their notification centre's with out paying any attention.
So my question is...if a user has not launched my app yet to see the alert "[myApp] would like to send you Push Notifications" - Don't Allow / OK.
Will they see my push notification before they have had chance to allow or not allow?
Do push notifications work until "not allowed" has been pressed? Or do they not work until OK has been pressed???
Thanks for your help.
If they never launched your app, your app never registered to Apple Push Notifications on their device, so you can't send them push notifications.
In addition, your server is not likely to have the device token for a device in which your app was never launched (since it's the app's job to send the device token to your server).
And if you push a notification to a device token of a device on which your app never registered to push notifications, the notification won't be delivered (even if the app is installed on the device), and that device token will eventually be returned to you in the feedback service.
I have set up an iOS app with push notifications.The problem is that the app ignores notifications while not being active or more precisely banners don't show up.One stranger thing is that the 'Alert Style' option is missing.
I wonder whether the .entitlements file is necessary and should I define something there.Except for that I think all settings are made correctly.
The environment is production.
All push notification are handled by iOS not your app, iOS will deliver the push notification to your app after the user clicked/swiped the view option.
Did you set the correct type of notification, UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert for alerts(banners) when you register for notifications?
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert|UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
More you can't set the 'Alert Style', the user can do this in settings app. You can't force the way Notifications are presented.
I have an app version 1.0 which is on Appstore, now I want to update this app and also want to integrate push notifications to this app. Now my question is since the provision profile, that signed with last version ,has not been configured for push notifications, now If I configure the push notification ,will push notifications will be available on updating the app.
You need to recreate the profile, redownload it and resign the new version with this in.
You can verify it is enabled by creating an ADHOC profile and doing some live testing (which you should be doing anyway!)
My application uses push notifications. It would be nice to show notifications status on the UI. Is it possible to read notification settings from iPhone settings application like my own application settings in settings bundle?
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes] will give you a bitmask showing whether badges, sounds, and/or alerts are enabled for your app. (Note that this setting only affects remote notifications; local notifications are unaffected).
Otherwise, as rckoenes points out, you can't access any settings in your app.
No you can't access general settings from your app.
