I am working on Geofencing and I want to trigger "didEnterRegion" and "didExitRegion" it is working when the app is in foreground or in background state. But I want to trigger it when the app is inactive state also. My code is follows:
GeofencingClass.h

@property (nonatomic,retain)CLLocationManager *locationManager;
+(void)GeofencingCoordinatesFromAPI;
+(void)StartGeoFencingWithGeoData:(NSMutableArray *)GeoDataArray;
@end

The above code is working fine if the app is in background or foreground but if i double tap on Home Button and close the app from task then geofencing not working can anybody help me to achieve this goal.
Note: I am using XCode 7.3.1 and iOS 9.3 while I am testing this on iPhone 5s.
Thanks in advance !!!!!
