OBjective-C : Use NSTimer while the app is close

Question

hi , it is possible to use a timer that is working when the application is closed? and when the timer is finish it send a push notification ??

thx

Answer 1

No, when your application isn't running, you can't have any timers going either.

The push notification would have to come from outside (for example, from a server you run).

(I'm assuming this is an iPhone question)

Answer 2

Here is a good tutorial that describes how you can set up a push notification service of your own.
