ios local notification check before fire

Question

I am trying to run some function every n-minutes when app is not running. I thing local notification is suitable for that, but I have one problem.

If I set local notification as :

 -(void)notification{
     UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
     if (localNotif == nil)
         return;
     localNotif.fireDate = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:15];
     //localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];

 // Notification details
     localNotif.alertBody = @"marko";
 // Set the action button
     localNotif.alertAction = @"View";

     localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
     localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;

 // Specify custom data for the notification
     NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"someValue" forKey:@"someKey"];
     localNotif.userInfo = infoDict;

// Schedule the notification
   [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
}

The notification is fired every time and then do:

 - (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
NSLog(@"Recieved Notification %@",notif);
 }

What I would want is to after 15s first fire some function and if function return YES then play sound and put badge on it.

How to do that?

If the application is foremost and visible when the system delivers the notification, no alert is shown, no icon is badged, and no sound is played. However, the application:didReceiveLocalNotification: is called if the application delegate implements it.

Make sure you are testing in device.
