IOS Local Push Notification

I am making a connection to a JSON file using AFNETWORKING. I want to send the user a Local Push Notification when an object in the json changed. For example:

{ "result": 
    [
        {"status":"TRUE"}
    ]
}

changed to

{ "result": 
    [
        {"status":"FALSE"}
    ]
}

Is it possible to check if the object has changed when the application is in the background? Or do i need to use Push Notification from a server (APN).

With the introduction of iOS7, you can use background fetch as here. But, using this will consume battery and also it is not certain that your app will get the chance to invoke the background fetch.

considering this, Push notification is the best option to go with.
