How to implement a reminder application ,just a clarification ?

Question

Hello all,

I know that the reminder application should display a badge or sound or kind of alert to the user .

The only doubt I want to clear from you guys is , should I display the badge in some manual coding fashion (like [[uiapplication sharedApplication] setBadgeNumber:2])or I have to use Apple push notification service and push the notification from a provider server ???????

I just want to know to implement the reminder application in correct way . Also any links to tutorials or examples would be appreciable .

Thanks ,

It depends on how the reminder is to be triggered?

If you just need to set it for when the app is running, do it in code, and then when the app is quit, the badge number will be visible on the app's icon.

If you need to push a remind to the phone while the app isn't running then you'll need to use the push notification service.
