Set a task for a certain date (iOS app)

Assume that I create a task today, and say that I want to be reminded of it (via a push notification) 10 days from today. Essentially, how do I constantly keep track of what day it is (even when my app isn't actively being used) to finally recognize when it becomes 10 days from today?

You don't do this.

You would schedule the notification for when it is supposed to happen like this...

UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.fireDate = [NSDate someDateInTheFuture];
notification.alertBody = @"This is your alert. Do something";
notification.alertAction = @"Alert";

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];

The notification will then fire when it gets to the date that you set. You don't have to check for it yourself in the app. It just happens.
