A question about local notifications and alerting players of game events.

Hello,

I need some guidance concerning local notifications.

Let’s pretend that my app is a virtual girlfriend app (it isn’t), and during scheduled times of the day, the virtual girlfriend asks you a questions and prompts you to press a button [yes] or [no].  I have read that local notifications can be used to alert users at certain times of the day.  Sounds promising!

My questions are:

1.  If the sound is muted on the phone, does it vibrate?

2.  What does it mean for a user to “recieve your scheduled notification”?  Does that mean that they open the app and the callback is called?  Can someone elaborate on how that works?

Thanks!
