[Resolved] Alerts - Show Alerts Whilst App is NOT running

Hi,

I’ve read the sample ‘alert’ code provided and understand it.

Question is whether an app can create a native alert whilst the app is not running?

I’m guessing not?

Basically I just want an alert to run once a day as a specific reminder.

“Words with Friends” seems to do this somehow, alerting the user when it is their turn in a game…

Thanks in advance if anyone know anything about this…
