iOS - Push notification alert is not shown when the app is running

Question

I\'ve integrated push notifications in my app. Users will receive push notification to join a group. When the user clicks Join, I\'ve to handle something in

Answer 1

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:@"John Doe sent you a message!"];

And it looks like this on iOS7 (iOS6 have an iOS6 look and feel...)
