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??

A: 

No this is not possible on an un-jailbroken device.

Wouldn't this be a security issue?

It would most likely eat away at your standby battery life as well (if not done with care).

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.
