POSchedule daily update of IconBadgeNumber from applicationDidEnterBackground
text
Body
copied!<p>I've been able to <strong>set an application badge number</strong> to my iPhone app and updating it once the user interacts with my app:</p> <pre><code>[[UIApplication sharedApplication ] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:currNrOfNotif]; </code></pre> <p><em>What I wont though</em>, is for this process to <strong>occur while in background mode</strong>, ie from within <code>applicationDidEnterBackground</code> or similar. I would like this process to be <strong>scheduled to run daily, every night at 00:00 00:00</strong> and take the current number in setApplicationIconBadgeNumber and <strong>decrement it by -1</strong>. No need for push notifications (or any server kind) in other words as the only thing that will happen is a change of the badge number value.</p> <p>First of all, <strong>how do I schedule an activity to occur while app's in background mode</strong>, without using remote server push notifications?</p> <p>Secondly, <strong>how do I get or fetch the current application notification badge value and decrement it by one</strong>?</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5962054/iphone-incrementing-the-application-badge-through-a-local-notification">In this post</a>, some people argue it simply can't be done even with local notifications and that server side push's required. One person, however, <strong>states it can be done</strong> by scheduling it by midnight. Who's right, and can someone please propose a solution to this?</p>
