Background notification in phone stutter

Question

I am creating a simple alarm clock with Phonegap for ios, and I have notifications running in the background and foreground. (All with the help of Drew Dalman and this tutorial http://www.drewdahlman.com/meusLabs/?p=84 ).

The phonegap plugin provides the ability to run background and front functions when localNotification is triggered.

My problem is that if the application is in the background, I seem to get only the close / view dialog by default, and not the notification dialog that I install. I was hoping that the background notification would give the user the ability to "stand up" or "put off", but of course this is not possible with the close / view notification by default.

Am I really wrong? Is there another way?

My code for setting up local notification is simple

 plugins.localNotification.add ({date: set_alarm, message: "background", badge: 1, id: 12, sound: 'Alarm_01.caf', background: 'MyApp.Alarm.notification_background', foreground: 'MyApp.Alarm. notification_foreground '}); 

The notifications in the foreground are working fine, it's just a help notification I'm struggling with.

In the delegate.m application file, you need to activate an alarm or local notification when the application has entered the background mode:

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application 

or

 - (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application 

(depending on your needs) Additional documentation can be found here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIApplicationDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html

My suspicion is that you configured the application only to disable the alarm after –application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and -application:didReceiveLocalNotification:

which is the default.

There are many other options:

Monitoring application state changes

• Applications: willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
• Applications: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
• applicationDidBecomeActive:
• applicationWillResignActive:
• applicationDidEnterBackground:
• applicationWillEnterForeground:
• applicationWillTerminate:
• applicationDidFinishLaunching:
