I was wondering how push notifications were displayed on screen for iOS 4? Since there is no notification center (iOS 5) will the push notification instead automatically be displayed as an alert or must I implement this myself?
Thanks
The code/logic to implement to send "message" push notifications is no different in iOS 4 vs iOS 5. the only difference is the appearance to the user which is a UIAlertView style notification with a "Go to App" button and an ok button. Also be aware there is no notification center that will keep track of old notifications.

I successfully created an apple push notification. I am receiving audio URL via push notification. I want to add media play/pause button into notification bar (custom notification bar), which functionality is that upon getting audio notification the user is able to play/pause receiving audio without opening an app.
Is it possible in iOS? I've searched through many web documents, but found nothing. So, can anyone help me out with this concept?
I have basic push notifications sending to my application. I was wondering if there was a way to clear the notifications in the notification center when the app is opened?
There You may use Ti.UI.iPhone.appBadge = 0; to reset the appBagde in the device. From 3.x, Appcelerator has added a new functionality to reset the badge on Appcelerator server.
Cloud.PushNotifications.setBadge() method allows the user to set the badge and Cloud.PushNotifications.resetBadge() will reset the badge in the notification center.
Essentially a Cydia application that shows an iOS5 notification center banner each time a song changes in the iPod app.
You can:
- Tap the banner to open iPod app
- Tap and hold a banner to show playing controls in the multitasking switcher.
- Swipe a banner to the right to play the next track.

Is this done with a UILocalNotification at time now-1 or any other method?
How does it not show up in notification center?
How does it do those actions on the notification bar?
Note: I'm asking this to develop a JB app, so no interest in official API's only.
I am the dev of NowListening !
NowListening doesn't provide real notifications, it just provide a banner each time the song changes (with any app) ;)
So, to do this, you have to create an instance of BBBulletin and push it to SBBulletinBannerController.
To dump all these classes, use class-dump.
I am using a UIAlertView in my code in iOS5, but rather than the classic popup window with an "OK" button to exit, I'd prefer to have my alert show as a banner at the top of the screen that eventually fades away.
Is it possible to change the style of UIAlertView to resemble the iOS 5 push notification banner or does it have to be a popup window that must be dismissed manually? If not, is there any way to use the iOS5 banner notification rather than an alert notification? I don't need to send a push notification but just need to alert the user of something that happens on the server side using the app.
Not using the SDK. You'll have to design and implement that by yourself.

Is there any way to set the alert style for notifications via programming in ios5?
My app uses notifications that have actions and I do not want to put those notifications as banners. The flow of the app is dependent on the push notifications that arrive.
So I was finding a way by which I could set the alert style of the notifications to "Alerts" rather than "Banners". Any way to do that?
No, your app cannot control this. It is up to the user to decide how he wants your notifications to display. But why does it bother you? Clicking on the action button (aka "View") or clicking the notification itself in Center is similar in behavior regarding your app's code.
