Can it possible to run a thread in iOS application that is running on background to send location when push notification is received?
From Apple Push docs:
http://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/WhatAreRemoteNotif/WhatAreRemoteNotif.html
When the app is running in the foreground is the only time it can respond directly to a push notification. The OS is handling the push, displaying it, and queuing it for later user action.
iOS applications can’t continuously run in the background, only for a few minutes after the app is closed (to finish a task if memory allows, for something like uploading a photo).
