Get push notification while App in foreground iOS

问题:

I am using push notification service in my app. When app is in background I am able to see notification on notification screen(screen shown when we swipe down from top of iOS device). But if application is in foreground the delegate method

- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo

is getting called but notification is not displayed in notification screen.

I want to show notification on notification screen independent of whether app is in background or foreground. I am tired by searching for a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

回答1:

For displaying banner message while app is in foreground, use the following method.

iOS 10, Swift 3/4 :

// This method will be called when app received push notifications in foreground
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) 
{
    completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
}

iOS 10, Swift 2.3 :

@available(iOS 10.0, *)
func userNotificationCenter(center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresentNotification notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void)
{
    //Handle the notification
    completionHandler(
       [UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert,
        UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Sound,
        UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Badge])
}

You must also register your app delegate as the delegate for the notifications center:

import UserNotifications

// snip!

class AppDelegate : UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate

// snip!

// set the delegate in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self

Below code will be work for you :

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo  {
    application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;             
    //self.textView.text = [userInfo description];
    // We can determine whether an application is launched as a result of the user tapping the action
    // button or whether the notification was delivered to the already-running application by examining
    // the application state.

    if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive) {                
        // Nothing to do if applicationState is Inactive, the iOS already displayed an alert view.                
        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@\"Did receive a Remote Notification\" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@\"Your App name received this notification while it was running:\\n%@\",[[userInfo objectForKey:@\"aps\"] objectForKey:@\"alert\"]]delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@\"OK\" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alertView show];          
    }    
}

回答3:

For anyone might be interested, I ended up creating a custom view that looks like the system push banner on the top but adds a close button (small blue X) and an option to tap the message for custom action. It also supports the case of more than one notification arrived before the user had time to read/dismiss the old ones (With no limit to how many can pile up...)

Link to GitHub: AGPushNote

The usage is basically on-liner:

[AGPushNoteView showWithNotificationMessage:@\"John Doe sent you a message!\"];

And it looks like this on iOS7 (iOS6 have an iOS6 look and feel...)

Objective C

For iOS 10 we need integrate willPresentNotification method for show notification banner in foreground.

If app in foreground mode(active)

- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter* )center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification* )notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions options))completionHandler {
    NSLog( @“Here handle push notification in foreground\" ); 
    //For notification Banner - when app in foreground

    completionHandler(UNNotificationPresentationOptionAlert);

    // Print Notification info
    NSLog(@\"Userinfo %@\",notification.request.content.userInfo);
}

回答5:

If the application is running in the foreground, iOS won\'t show a notification banner/alert. That\'s by design. But we can achieve it by using UILocalNotification as follows

• Check whether application is in active state on receiving a remote
  notification. If in active state fire a UILocalNotification.

  if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive ) {
  
      UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
      localNotification.userInfo = userInfo;
      localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
      localNotification.alertBody = message;
      localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate date];
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
  }
  

SWIFT:

if application.applicationState == .active {
    var localNotification = UILocalNotification()
    localNotification.userInfo = userInfo
    localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
    localNotification.alertBody = message
    localNotification.fireDate = Date()
    UIApplication.shared.scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)
}

If the application is running in the foreground, iOS won\'t show a notification banner/alert. That\'s by design. You have to write some code to deal with the situation of your app receiving a notification while it is in the foreground. You should show the notification in the most appropriate way (for example, adding a badge number to a UITabBar icon, simulating a Notification Center banner, etc.).

回答7:

You can create your own notification that mimics the banner alert.

One way is to create a custom uiview that looks like the banner and can animate and respond to touches. With this in mind you can create even better banners with even more functionality.

Or you can look for an api that does it for you and add them as podfiles to your project.

Here are a couple that I have used:

Here is the code to receive Push Notification when app in active state (foreground or open). UNUserNotificationCenter documentation

@available(iOS 10.0, *)
func userNotificationCenter(center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresentNotification notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void)
{
     completionHandler([UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Sound,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Badge])
}

If you need to access userInfo of notification use code: notification.request.content.userInfo

回答9:

According to apple documentation, Yes you can display notification while app is running

回答10:

In your app delegate use bellow code

import UIKit
import UserNotifications
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
 var currentToken: String?
 var window: UIWindow?
 func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
        let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
        center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) { (granted, error) in

            // Enable or disable features based on authorization.
            if granted == true
            {
                print(\"Allow\")
                UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
            }
            else
            {
                print(\"Don\'t Allow\")
            }
        }
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self

        return true
    }
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data){
        let tokenParts = deviceToken.map { data -> String in
            return String(format: \"%02.2hhx\", data)
        }
        let token = tokenParts.joined()
        currentToken = token  //get device token to delegate variable

    }
 public class var shared: AppDelegate {
        return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    }
 func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
         completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
    }
}

回答11:

Adding that completionHandler line to delegate method solved same problem for me:

//Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
@available(iOS 10.0, *)
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {

completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
} 

回答12:

As mentioned above, you should use UserNotification.framework to achieve this. But for my purposes I have to show it in app anyway and wanted to have iOS 11 style, so I\'ve created a small helper view, maybe would be useful for someone.

GitHub iOS 11 Push Notification View.

回答13:

As @Danial Martine said iOS won\'t show a notification banner/alert. That\'s by design. But if really have to do it then there is one way . I have also achieve this by same.

1.Download the parse frame work from Parse FrameWork

2.Import #import <Parse/Parse.h>

3.Add following code to your didReceiveRemoteNotification Method

 - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    [PFPush handlePush:userInfo];
}

PFPush will take care how to handle the remote notification . If App is in foreground this shows the alert otherwise it shows the notification at the top.

回答14:

If your application is in foreground state, it means you are currently using the same app. So there is no need to show notification on the top generally.

But still if you want to show notification in that case you have to create your custom Alert View or Custom View like Toast or something else to show to the user that you have got a notification.

You can also show a badge on the top if you have such kind of feature in your app.
