ibeacon

Is there any way to run NSTimer for more than 3 mins in background? I have to create simple app that uses `locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didRangeBeacons beacons: [CLBeacon], inRegion region: CLBeaconRegion)` for scan my beacons. I have run into problem when I needed to check if user is exactly 10 seconds near closest beacon. I created var timer: NSTimer? var lastClosestBeacon: CLBeacon? { didSet { timer?.invalidate() timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(10, target: self, selector: "showLocalNotification", userInfo: nil, repeats: false) // NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop()

I would like to know whether it is possible to check in the background if someone enters or leaves the a beacon Region? In iOS for example you can use the methods didEnterRegion or didExitRegion to send notifications from the background. Is there any native possibility or has someone a workaround? Android doesn't have any "native" iBeacon capability at all, but you can see iBeacons using my company's open source Android iBeacon Library , which has APIs similar to those native to iOS 7. In the case of iOS, the CLLocationManagerDelegate gives you access to the didEnterRegion and didExitRegion

I have write a code to have pop-up Notification when in range of Beacon. my code for notification like this: private void showNotification(String message){ Log.d("Hay8","DCM8"); Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class); Log.d("Hay9","DCM9"); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0,intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); Log.d("Hay10","DCM10"); NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context,"default") .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info) .setContentTitle("Notification1") .setContentText(message) .setDefaults

Here is a code I use to detect Eddystone using iPhone iOS 9: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) { _locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; self.locationManager.delegate = self; self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO; [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"f7826da6-4fa2-4e98-8024-bc5b71e0893e"]; NSString *bundleIdentifier = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]; CLBeaconRegion *beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID

I have the following code which work perfect when app terminated. -(void)beaconManager:(id)manager didEnterRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region{ UILocalNotification *notification = [UILocalNotification new]; notification.alertBody = @"TEST NOTIFICATION"; notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:notification]; } But When I do the following: -(void) createTestNotification { UILocalNotification *notification = [UILocalNotification new]; notification.alertBody = @"TEST"; notification.soundName =
