local push notification possible ?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

HI there,
also i don’t need to be able to push notifications remote to my users,
it would be great i could create kind a alarm function, where my
app running in the background would show a alarm (push) notification on the desktop
when the user defined it.

is that possible already?

also i am wondering, as i recognized my app always restarts when it was in the background.
so multitasking is not supported till now?

thx
chris

also it always sounds very cool to say “Local push notifications” etc.

if we could just open an alert box while the app is in the background, we could simulate already many things by ourself.

on android it could ‘push’ that alert in the notification list.
on iPhone it could show a popup on the desktop.

and with some community sources we could check on a simple ftp server if a new message is waiting and ‘push’ that in our simple alert through our app running in the background.

for sure it will all not the original apple push etc… but we had something to work with :slight_smile:
