I have read that it is not possible to send Push Notifications if you are offline. I'm working on an app that generates reminders at certain time. Now this app is totally offline but there is a need that if the app is closed it should still send reminder on time. This thing is only possible with PushNotifications as far as I've read. And LocalNotifications did not work if your app is not running.
So what it the way to generate offline notifications even if the app is closed?

LocalNotification are again not solving my problem. Because user will open the app to do settings, and once these settings are done he may not open the app again until he feels the need to change the reminder time. And app will communicate with user via notifications. So this is mandatory for me to generate notifications on the time that user sets for as long as it needs to.
Is there any way I can copy the way reminders work?

    Local notifications will work if your app isn't running,but there is a limit as they how many you can schedule at once Commented Apr 29, 2015 at 10:27
  • @Paulw11 There will be one or maximum three notifications a day. But I've read that if the app is closed (double tap the home button and then close it by swipe up) it'll not run the notifications. Is this true? Commented Apr 29, 2015 at 10:31
  • That is not true. The only issue that arises is the limit of schedules. Say you wanted 3 per day - with a limit of 20'you could only schedule the next 6 days. If the user opens your app within those 6 days then you can schedule some more, but if they don't then your app will eventually stop notifying Commented Apr 29, 2015 at 10:35
  • @Paulw11 then how does the alarm works in iPhone? Is there any way we can trigger custom alarm that? It's also like a offline notification. Commented Apr 29, 2015 at 10:38
