What are the requirements and how would I go about implementing the Application Push Notification Service to trigger methods when the application is in the background, or when the phone is closed. Would this even be possible?
Thank you
No thats not possible.
When the app is in the foreground it will receive the push notification directly and can do whatever it wants to in response to that.
However when its not in the foreground the notification is displayed to the user (if they haven’t disabled them) and/or displayed in the notification center (if they haven’t disabled that). Your app will be brought to the foreground to execute if and only if the user selects the notification.
The application does not receive the notification directly if its not in the foreground.
