Saving resource on shared framework

I'm making a framework for iOS that collect data from the phone (GPS, WiFi, etc) and sends to a server and notifies the user on events.

My problem is that if two or more apps use the framework on the same device it will consume the battery and I only need to send the data from one app because the collection continues in the background.

Is there any way to know if these multiple apps are running and notify the app that other app is collection and sending the data?

I'll probably look the problem inside out. When I start receiving info on the server from same ip/mac combination simultaneously I'll return a flag to all but one client on that particular device. When my framework receive that kind of flag, it will stop sending data, because someone else is already doing the same.

PS Your framework sounds like creepy spy thing though :)

No. The apps are sandboxed and cannot interact.

The framework will have no way of communicating with the other apps unless it sets-up some sort of networking on the client (not advised).

I wouldn't worry about it.
