I’m creating an instant messaging application. imagine something like skype or yahoo messenger.

Now our server only sends push notification(for new messages) on when the app is on background/multitasked/minimized. But sometimes the server fails to detect that our app is on background, so sometimes it doesn’t send push notification even if the app is on background.

Now I’m thinking that our server should just always send push notifications to device even if it is in foreground(so all messages will have a push notif), but we won’t show it(the apns) when in foreground. This way, the server won’t need to detect if the app is on background or not.

Do you think it’s okay, or there will be a sideeffect of always sending apns, you see, if you are chatting whole day on foreground, the client will receive apns but won’t show it?

    No problem to send lots of notification without reading it, if the payload is different.

    You are not forced to show notifications with an alert when a notification is received in foreground.
