Add vibration the background for local notifications
Unable to Handle Local Notification when app has been terminated

We're trying to build an app that can track the location of the device on-demand. So admins could send a ping signal and get back the current location of the device. Sort of like (find my phone). The functionality should work even if the app is in the background, when the device is locked, and even be available after a device restart without having to open the app first.
We're building the app using React Native and we were looking at some options for background services and push notifications but none seem to satisfy our needs. Any ideas?

I am writing an app which will receive remote notifications sent from Firebase.
It works perfectly fine when I first install the app on an iPhone, the notification can be received no matter the app is in background or foreground.
However, when I killed the app and restarted it, then press home button again to send it to background, the app can no longer receive notifications in background state, and can only receive on foreground.
Please help. Thanks in advance!
I'm working on a Windows app and integrated Toast notification in it. Paired with an AWS SNS service, it's working fine, I can successfully receive my notifications.
My notifications are used to fire events when the app is launched, it's not designed for final user. For this reason, I don't need any banner or display for these notifications: only handle the event in the app.
My issue is, when the app is killed, Windows displays a banner (top right corner) for any new notification. I found a way to disable banners directly in the OS, but I would like a solution when pushing the notification (backend side).
I already did it for iOS, kind of 'silent' notification, without any alert, sound or badge, but can still be handled by the OS.
I would like to know if there is any way to do that on Windows too? Like any extra arguments I missed or a dedicated template for that.
Thanks
I finally found a way to do that.
I changed from Toast notification to Raw notification (a push notification that does not involve UI). (MSDN - Documentation)
After that, I had to customise my AWS SNS notification wiht MessageAttributes to change the type of my WNS notification (AWS - Documentation).
I've also noticed that we can directly suppress the Toast UI on Windows phone with "X-WNS-SuppressPopup" param, which can be also very helpful. (MSDN - SuppressPopup).
Finally, inspired from AWS Baidu Push notification sample code, I did the same for WNS platform, adding all new arguments I needed, and it works great at the end.
Hope this can help someone else.
I am working in an application that detects any Beacons nearby and gives and alert in the form of local notifications for iOS. I used TiBeacons library for titanium which did the work but I am right now stuck with an issue where I need to keep the Application running even when the user swipes off the application from background.
I was able to make it work in background which is the paused state,but is it possible to make it restart itself in the background when the user swipes the app from the background processes running,maybe with a delay if not promptly?? Thanks
There is no way to restart application after user removed it from a memory. This would be huge security bridge allowing developers to do lots of evil things to customers' devices.
You can run your code only when app is in foreground and background but never when it's killed.
You can try activate your app by receiving notification from Apple Notification Center Service:
The purpose of the Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS) is to give Bluetooth accessories (that connect to iOS devices through a Bluetooth low-energy link) a simple and convenient way to access many kinds of notifications that are generated on iOS devices.
The ability to detect iBeacons after the app was killed in the task switcher was only added in iOS 7.1. Also, I believe this functionality requires that beacon monitoring be set up with the app's main AppDelegate object as the CoreLocation delegate. I do not know much about Titanium, but glancing at the source, it appears it does not do this, and instead uses a different class as the CoreLocation delegate. This may explain why this does not work for you.
If my suspicion is true, you would not be able to detect after the app is killed using an unmodified version of that library.
Since I am not a Titanium expert, it would be best if someone who knows more about it could confirm or refute my suspicion.
I understand how i can tie my application to the windows push notification service but the code i have to write to do so will only be reached when my app is started by the user. What if i want my application to receive push notifications when it has just been installed ?
the same question applies to background tasks
Setting up push notification channels and background tasks does require and app to be run at least once. You can, however, set up periodic notifications in Windows 8.1 through an entry in the manifest, so that you can have a live tile experience after install but before the app is run. If you do that, you can at least surface some info on the live tile right away to invite the user into the app, after which you can customize the experience much more with push notifications and background tasks.
You can find the periodic update URI field in the manifest editor's Application tab under Tile Update. The XML schema ref is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn391689.aspx.
Who will install the background agent or create push notification channel in this case? Yes, it should.
