UILocalNotification not called when is in background

Question

I'm try to fire UILocalNotification when app is in background and is in active state. I use following:

In App Delegate i want to "catch" notification callback by this (it's not called):

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo{

    NSLog(@"recieve-old-notif-here");

}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification{


    NSLog(@"recieve-old-notif");
}

Here is how i declared local notification:

NSString *strToShow = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Время вставать"];


UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:15];

notification.alertBody = strToShow;
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];

Please note that i already achieve that task with iOS 10 notifications, but i want to support this feature on older version devices.

So, my delegate methods suppose to call but their does not, why?

Answer 1

Add below code to the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method in delegate :

ifdef __IPHONE_8_0

//Right, that is the point
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];

else

//register to receive notifications
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];

endif

and below delegate methods;

#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    //register to receive notifications
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
    //handle the actions
    if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"declineAction"]){
    }
    else if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"answerAction"]){
    }
}
#endif
