I have developed an appointment application. When I receive a push notification, I want to make a call to a particular person, but right now it is just opening the application when I get a push notification.
How do I write a code to make a call to a particular appointment as I get the push notification of that appointment?
For push notification you have to code in appDelegate,
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"tel://%#",[userInfo valueForKey:#"phno"]]]];
}
For local notification,
-(void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"tel://%#",[notification.userInfo valueForKey:#"phno"]]]];
}
Upon notification, open the dialer app with the given phone number. Note: this will initially launch your app, then quickly switch to the dialer.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tel://5555555555"]];
}

In my app , local notifications are displaying correctly. But,my doubt is,i need to redirect to specific screen in app while i'm slide the unlock to notification.
Do the below in app delegate.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
UIApplicationState state = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState];
if (state != UIApplicationStateActive)
{
// redirect to the next screen.
}
}
Hope it will help you.
Try this out,
You will get local notification in this method
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification;
or for remote notification
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
and after that you can push your screen i.e.
if(you are in another screen)
push your required screen
else
do nothing.
I just followed this tutorial Push notification and I successfully implemented the push notification for my iPhone app. Im able to get now the notification Details. However, I wanted to put the notification alertBody on a Label provided for notification alertBody.
I have a code in displaying the notification alertBody from a local Notification. But I know it is different from a push notification because it is used only for local notification.
on my AppDelagate.m
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
NSLog(#"Recieved Notification %#",notif);
NSString *_stringFromNotification = notif.alertBody;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"Notification" object:_stringFromNotification];
}
on my ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName:#"Notification" object:nil queue:nil usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note)
NSString *_string = note.object;
//Do something with the string--------
}];
}
It works perfectly on Local Notification but for push notification, It doesn't work. How to Implement this? Need your help please. I need to put the notification alert body at the Label or String.
first of all register for remote notifications in AppDelegate.m in method,
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//Invoke APNS.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
And then use following delegate method to recieve remote notification:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
NSLog(#"Received =%#",userInfo);////userInfo will contain all the details of notification like alert body.
}
Remote notifications run outside the sandbox the app is running in, so you can't capture the notification in the same way as local notifications, i.e. application:didReceiveLocalNotification. However, if the app is launched via the remote notification, you can capture the notification via the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UILocalNotification *notification = launchOptions[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (notification) {
// do something with the notification.alertBody
} else {
// from the springboard
}
}
If your application is already running when it receives a remote notification, your application delegate's – application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: method will be called; if the application is not currently running and is launched in response to the notification, the remote notification info will be put into the launchOptions dictionary in your – application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method.
The method which you are implementing is for local notification only. If you want to handle push notification then you have to use method
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification: (NSDictionary*)userInfo{
NSLog(#"Received notification: %#", userInfo);
}
for the same. This method will be called if the app is on background only. If the app is not in background then you can fetch data in the following manner
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
UILocalNotification *notificationData = launchOptions[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if(!notificationData){
NSLog(#"App launched by tapping on app icon");
}else{
NSLog(#"Notification data -> %#",notificationData);
}
}
Once i click a notification, all the notifications are cleared.In ios, is there any option to clear a single notification after tapping on it? i have received 4 notifications. now i need the clicked notification alone to get cleared and retain the other ones.Can anyone help me on this?
- (void) clearNotifications {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber: 0];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo
{
NSLog(#"Received notification: %#", userInfo);
[self clearNotifications];
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
// when you tap on any of notification this delegate method will call...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:notification];
}
I do not know how to replace "method" with the following app delegate method.
viewcontroller
[(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] method];
appdelegate
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
TUPushHelper * helper = [[TUPushHelper alloc] initWithTokenData:devToken];
[helper registerDevice];
}
You do not need to call it programmatically. The delegate receives this message after the registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: method of UIApplication is invoked and there is no error in the registration process. didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError: will be called otherwise.
To register your device for remote push notifications you have to do this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
...
}

I followed http://iosdevelopertips.com/cocoa/launching-your-own-application-via-a-custom-url-scheme.html instruction to open app1(GlassButton) within app2(FontTest).
The open method of FontTest as following:
-(void)open {
BOOL res = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"glassbutton://"]];
if (res) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"glassbutton://"]];
}
}
The value of "res" is "YES", but nothing happen after openURL method be called.
The info-list of "FontTest"as following:
URL Schemes: glassbutton
URL identifier: com.yourcompany.glassbutton
I tried to open twitter and facebook apps by "twitter://" and "fb://" successfully. But I do not know why I cannot open this small app. I'm not sure whether any thing/step wrong or missing? Need I handle - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url for FontTest, if yes, how to handle it? Could you please kindly help me? Thanks in advance!
To request the launch of your app use something like this:
NSString *urlString= #"glassbutton://com.yourcompany.glassbutton";
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
Then, in the glassbutton app, you'll need to handle any special behavior within the app delegate method:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
//your app specific code here for handling the launch
return YES;
}
Note that within the app you are opening the above delegate method will only get called AFTER the following method is called:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
Handle accordingly, good luck.
