How do we handle push notifications if the application is already running ? I want to show an alert if the application is running (instead of a push notification alert). Only if the application is not running, then show a push notification alert.
Also, if I send a payload to APNs, how can I create an alert with a cancel button?
You can implement application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:
Here is a possible sample code:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
NSString *message = nil;
id alert = [userInfo objectForKey:@"alert"];
if ([alert isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]) {
message = alert;
} else if ([alert isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
message = [alert objectForKey:@"body"];
}
if (alert) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"
message:@"AThe message." delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:@"button 1"
otherButtonTitles:@"button", nil];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
}
