I am using push notification service in my app. When app is in background I am able to see notification on notification screen(screen shown when we swipe down from top of iOS device). But if application is in foreground the delegate method
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo
is getting called but notification is not displayed in notification screen.
I want to show notification on notification screen independent of whether app is in background or foreground. I am tired by searching for a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If the application is running in the foreground, iOS won't show a notification banner/alert. That's by design. But we can achieve it by using UILocalNotification
as follows
Check whether application is in active state on receiving a remote
notification. If in active state fire a UILocalNotification.
if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive ) {
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotification.userInfo = userInfo;
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotification.alertBody = message;
localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate date];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
}
SWIFT:
if application.applicationState == .active {
var localNotification = UILocalNotification()
localNotification.userInfo = userInfo
localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
localNotification.alertBody = message
localNotification.fireDate = Date()
UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
}
