Question

i want to set localnotification say for a program which starts at 6:00 pm.For that i have taken the time in a date variable and i am comparing it with current date from system.

Say setDate is for fixed date i.e 6.00 pm so i have to set firedate such that it shows the notification before 30 mintes the program starts. The examples i have seen in that the firedate is set according to currentdate.

Can someone tell me how can i set firedate according to my fixed date??

Well then you can handle your local notification in application delegate file when ever you get the notification.
e.g. here is the delegate method which is fired everytime when you get the local notification.

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
    //Handle the notificaton when the app is running
    NSLog(@"Recieved Notification %@",notif);


        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hey Neha" message:@"Sanjay wants to be your friend " delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
        [alertView show];
        [alertView release];

        SystemSoundID bell;  
        AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"WhoopFlp" ofType:@"wav"]], &bell);  
        AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (bell);

        AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);

        i=0;
    }
}

So what I am doing here is simply showing the alert and playing a system sound when my local notification occurs.
So now what you want is to navigate to the page in the program where you were when you get the local notification.So simply in this delegate method you need to allocate your view controller and need to push the view controller to that view where you want to be.
That would solve your problem.
Well i had a similar kind of problem what i wanted is to show the notification in the background and in the front end as well, so writing the 2 different methods in my app was not worthful.so i handled it this way in the delegate method which will show the notification in the front end as well.
Good luck to you.
