I am developing an application for the iPhone and I am trying to alert the user immediately that something has occurred in my application and I am using UILocalNotifications to do so. The problem I am having is that if the phone is tethered to my development computer and a notification occurs, the iPhone wakes up immediately from sleep and alerts the user. When the phone is not tethered, it doesn't alert the user until the home button is pressed. Is there a way that I can make this happen regardless if the phone is tethered to my computer or not?
