Question

If the client disabled push notifications, can he still receive notifications while the app is running? I read somewhere that if the notification doesn’t specify “aps” as the namespace, it’ll still go through despite the fact that push notifications have been disabled. The notifications of course will not appear if the app isn’t in the foreground. I can’t find the article so I can’t say for sure this is true.

Answer 1

I just tested this, nope. Push notifications for active app status will not go through if push notifications are disabled.
