Is it possible to do this?
Edit: Not even if I try to have an alarm after my application is closed for a short period of time??

Unfortunately, the short answer is no.
You can use the Push Notification Service to pop-up an alert to the user. But they will still have to click on it to launch your app.
I believe there's a way if you jailbreak the phone.
Also, the latest OS has push notification.
In general, third-party apps don't run in th background. There have been some rumors that Apple might open this up a bit, if only to certain apps.
