Location Based Notifications are not calling in suspend mode

Question

I am new to location based applications. My requirement is, device has to show the location based notifications when the user reaches the selected region. I implemented perfectly. This app is working on background also. Now my new requirement is, device has to show the location based notifications even after kill the app. [I saw a couple of iPhone apps working with this functionality. The apps are "Reminder" & "Locationizer" ] .

Can you please check my implementations steps as follows.

Launch the application.
Selected the location alert button.
Called the following CLLocationManager API's to monitor my region.

[locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:@"MyRegion" desiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest]; [locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
Quit the app [Running in background].
I am getting location based alert notifications properly.

Here the new requirement.

Launch the application.
Selected the location alert Button.
Called the following CLLocationManager API's to monitor my region.

[locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:@"MyRegion" desiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest]; [locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];
Kill the app. [now application is not running in background]
App should show the location based notification when user reach the location.

How do I implement this logic?

Hi Friends I found solution for this issue.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

id locationValue = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocationKey];
if (locationValue)
{
      [self initLocationMonitoring]; // this will invoke CLLocationManager
}

return YES;
}
