Get push notification while App in foreground iOS

Question

I am using push notification service in my app  When app is in background I am able to see notification on notification screen screen shown when we swipe down from top of iOS device   But if application is in foreground the delegate method   -  void application  UIApplication  application didReceiveRemoteNotification  NSDictionary  userInfo   is getting called but notification is not displayed in notification screen    I want to show notification on notification screen independent of whether app is in background or foreground  I am tired by searching for a solution  Any help is greatly appreciated

Here is the code to receive Push Notification when app in active state (foreground or open). UNUserNotificationCenter documentation

@available(iOS 10.0, *)
func userNotificationCenter(center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresentNotification notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void)
{
     completionHandler([UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Sound,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Badge])
}

If you need to access userInfo of notification use code: notification.request.content.userInfo

For anyone might be interested  I ended up creating a custom view that looks like the system push banner on the top but adds a close button  small blue X  and an option to tap the message for custom action  It also supports the case of more than one notification arrived before the user had time to read dismiss the old ones  With no limit to how many can pile up     Link to GitHub  AGPushNote The usage is basically on-liner   AGPushNoteView showWithNotificationMessage   quot John Doe sent you a message  quot     And it looks like this on iOS7  iOS6 have an iOS6 look and feel

You can create your own notification that mimics the banner alert    One way is to create a custom uiview that looks like the banner and can animate and respond to touches  With this in mind you can create even better banners with even more functionality   Or you can look for an api that does it for you and add them as podfiles to your project   Here are a couple that I have used   https   github com terryworona TWMessageBarManager  https   github com toursprung TSMessages

For Swift 5      1  Confirm the delegate to the AppDelegate with UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate      2  UNUserNotificationCenter current   delegate   self in didFinishLaunch      3  Implement the below the method in AppDelegate    func userNotificationCenter   center  UNUserNotificationCenter                                  willPresent notification  UNNotification                                  withCompletionHandler completionHandler   escaping  UNNotificationPresentationOptions  - gt  Void         print  Push notification received in foreground         completionHandler   alert   sound   badge       That s it

Best Approach for this is to add UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate in AppDelegate by using extension AppDelegate  UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate That extension tells the app to be able to get notification when in use  And implement this method   func userNotificationCenter   center  UNUserNotificationCenter  willPresent notification  UNNotification  withCompletionHandler completionHandler   escaping  UNNotificationPresentationOptions  - gt  Void            completionHandler  alert          This method will be called on the delegate only if the application is in the Foreground   So The final Implementation   extension AppDelegate  UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate       func userNotificationCenter   center  UNUserNotificationCenter  willPresent notification  UNNotification  withCompletionHandler completionHandler   escaping  UNNotificationPresentationOptions  - gt  Void            completionHandler  alert            And To call this you must set the delegate in AppDelegate in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions add this line  UNUserNotificationCenter current   delegate   self   You can modify   completionHandler  alert     with   completionHandler   alert   badge   sound

As mentioned above  you should use UserNotification framework to achieve this  But for my purposes I have to show it in app anyway and wanted to have iOS 11 style  so I ve created a small helper view  maybe would be useful for someone   GitHub iOS 11 Push Notification View

If your application is in foreground state  it means you are currently using the same app  So there is no need to show notification on the top generally   But still if you want to show notification in that case you have to create your custom Alert View or Custom View like Toast or something else to show to the user that you have got a notification   You can also show a badge on the top if you have such kind of feature in your app

According to apple documentation  Yes you can display notification while app is running

If the application is running in the foreground  iOS won t show a notification banner alert  That s by design  You have to write some code to deal with the situation of your app receiving a notification while it is in the foreground  You should show the notification in the most appropriate way  for example  adding a badge number to a UITabBar icon  simulating a Notification Center banner  etc
