Background notifications for iOS Apps?

Under iOS, I am aware that there are some circumstances where an app that is anticipated to be in the background can still receive notifications from the OS (e.g. CoreLocation updates or registered geo-fences or VOIP calls). Are background notifications available for other events, e.g. when a photo is taken/added or when network status changes (specifically allowing one to recognize and react when a known/particular WiFi network is joined)?

No, the background calls that can happen are pretty clearly enumerated, and photos / network status changes are not included in the list.

You can be woken up for other reasons and check things like network availability and photo library entries (although you cannot know what network you have joined).
