to set a local notification in Ios, you have to edit applicationDidEnterBackground method in your appcontroller.mm class.. take a look at the code below...
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar];
// Get the current date
//NSDate *pickerDate = [self.datePicker date];
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
//NSCalendar *calendar = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];
// Break the date up into components
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:( NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit )
fromDate:now];
NSDateComponents *timeComponents = [calendar components:( NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit )
fromDate:now];
// Set up the fire time
NSDateComponents *dateComps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[dateComps setDay:[dateComponents day]];
[dateComps setMonth:[dateComponents month]];
[dateComps setYear:[dateComponents year]];
[dateComps setHour:[timeComponents hour]];
[dateComps setMinute:[timeComponents minute]+_notificationTimeMinutes];
[dateComps setSecond:([timeComponents second]+_notificationTimeSeconds)];
NSDate *itemDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComps];
[dateComps release];
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (localNotif == nil)
return;
localNotif.fireDate = itemDate;
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
localNotif.alertBody=#"Your local notification message";
// Set the action button
localNotif.alertAction = #"View";
NSLog(#"setAlarm Called : %#",itemDate);
//localNotif.hasAction = NO;
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber+1;
localNotif.repeatInterval = NSWeekCalendarUnit;
//[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber += 1;
// Specify custom data for the notification
NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"someValue" forKey:#"someKey"];
localNotif.userInfo = infoDict;
// Schedule the notification
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];
[localNotif release];
In above code _notificationTimeSeconds is in seconds and _notificationTimeMinutes is in minutes similarly you can add hours and days or months after which you want your notification to appear.. you add your message in "your local notification message"
