Will iOS awake my app when i receive silent push notification?(When app is not in running state)

Question

Update Question :

The requirement is; as soon as I receive silent notification, I want to run a web service and show the one liner in the notification bar.

Answer 1

You CAN get a PUSH-notification and work with it. I know a little way to do this... Open the AppDelegate.m and and find or put this method - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions. After that, put into this method code like mine:

NSDictionary *userInfo = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];

if (userInfo) {
    NSDictionary *apsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"];

    NSString *alertType = [apsInfo objectForKey:@"type"]; //my own param in PUSH-notification
    globalPushType = alertType;  //global variable for working with it in some ViewControllers after app's load
}

I know, this helps a lot of people. =)
