You can fire a local notification after a set amount of time. But then you can only handle an event in case the user taps “View” on the dialog. Otherwise you can use one of the background modes (Location, Audio, VoIP) to continue running in the background. Then you have all the freedom you wish except that you probably won’t get your app accepted in the app store unless you use your app for the purpose that you describe in your background mode.
I recently got an app rejected twice for polling every n minutes using location background mode (even though I was using the location!).
Good luck
