Receive Push Notification in background and create a local Notification without the user knowledge

I am receiving a remote push notification, and i need to register a UILocalNotification, within 30 minutes, but i need to do it even if the user do not click in the notification, in the background.

There's any way to do it, like in :

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

}

It works fine here, but only if the user clicks in the notification, or if the app is currently running.

You need to turn on "background fetch" in the "capabilities" section of your project settings, and use the application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler delegate method in your ApplicationDelegate file. This way you can handle remote notifications in the background. Don't forget to set the content-available flag in your aps dictionary when sending the push.

You can't handle a remote notification if the application is not running until the user doesn't launch your app. You should deal with the business logic on server-side. Keep track of when the notifications are sent and trigger the appropriate action after the time frame are exceeded.
