BLE Notification when the application is not running

Is there a possibility to receive BLE notification in your application for a specific UUID or whenever any UUID gets in range while the application is not running? E.g. the same way Push Notifications work?

I tried to google around but so far no helpful information that I could achieve. Any pointers?

Checkout background execution modes. The app does not need to run in foreground in this case, but it needs to have been started before and has to be in background at least.

iOS7 introduces a Bluetooth state preservation and restoration for long term Bluetooth tasks. By these means, even a terminated app will be restored in background mode by the os.
