Question

Are push notification received on my device even if the app is not running (not even in background) ?

A customer told me he received a notification even if the app was close (in the multi-tasking bar was also not there).

thanks

Answer 1

Yes. Push notifications will be received if your app is not running.

From the apple docs:

If a notification for an application arrives when that application is not running, the device alerts the user that the application has data waiting for it.
