Question

I would like to “pause” my app when the iPad receives notifications, like push notifications from other apps, local notifications like alarms and so on, that is showing a small pop up window. I have tried to look for what event to listen to but can not find it.

I have implemented this in my view controller for applicationWillResignActive and hope there is something similar for this kind of notifications.

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                         selector:@selector(pauseMyApp:) 
                                             name:UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification 
                                           object:nil];

I’m sure that I have read about it somewhere but can not recall. Would appreciate if someone can redirect me to the right documentation or just give a short piece of code.

Thanks in advance.

I must seem stupid to have asked this question, as the answer is the same as I already is using 🙂 Just implement the applicationWillResignActive. Documentation can be found here for those (like me!) who has a problem finding it again…
