本地推送UILocalNotification常用于定期提醒用户使用该APP，如AirBrush的定期提醒用户拍照，运动锻炼工具的每天锻炼提醒。
不同于远程推送RemoteNotification，本地推送一般较固定，通常事先设置好推送周期。而推送内容往往也是固定的，可存放于plist文件中。本地推送并不依赖于网络连接，可简单将其视为一个定时装置即可。
申请通知权限
若要通知生效，则先要为该APP申请通知权限。一般可在AppDelegate的application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions方法中添加如下代码：
if ([UIApplication instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil]];
}
UILocalNotification对象
添加本地推送的步骤如下：
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (notification) {
NSLog(@">> 10s' local notification");
notification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10];
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notification.alertTitle = @"AlertTitle 1";
notification.alertBody = @"AlertBody 1";
NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"notification_1", @"id", nil];
notification.userInfo = infoDict;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
UILocalNotification对象的参数比较多，但作用都很明确。
fireDate设置触发通知接收方法的时间，
alertTitle和alertBody可设置相应的通知内容。
注意userInfo可用于在该UILocalNotification对象中传递一些参数，userInfo必须是NSDictionary类型。
application:didReceiveLocalNotification:方法
该方法用于接收到本地通知时的回调方法：
// APP运行中收到notification时调用
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
// 可根据notification对象的userInfo等属性进行相应判断和处理
}
多个本地通知
一般的工具型APP会包含多个本地通知，分别设置不同的fireDate。如三天，7天，一个月分别推送一次，以唤醒用户。若一个月之内打开APP，则所有本地通知重置。
这里以设置1Min和3Min的本地通知为例：
可在AppDelegate的applicationDidBecomeActive:方法中设置如下，则每次APP启动即执行：
-(void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
// appIcon上的消息提示个数
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
// 取消所有的本地通知
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
// 添加1Mins和3Mins的localNotification
#define kLocalNotificationTimeInterval_1Mins (60*1)
#define kLocalNotificationTimeInterval_3Mins (60*3)
[self setLocalNotification:kLocalNotificationTimeInterval_1Mins];
[self setLocalNotification:kLocalNotificationTimeInterval_3Mins];
}
setLocalNotification:方法接收本地通知的时间参数，如下：
-(void)setLocalNotification:(NSTimeInterval)timeInterval {
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (notification) {
// 设置提醒时间为20:00
//NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar];
//NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [calendar components:NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay fromDate:[NSDate date]];
//dateComponents.hour = 20;
//dateComponents.minute = 0;
//NSDate *fireDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:dateComponents];
NSDate *fireDate = [NSDate date];
notification.fireDate = [fireDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:timeInterval];
notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Local Notification %f", timeInterval];
notification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;
#define LocalNotificationPeriod_1Mins @"LocalNotificationPeriod_1Mins"
#define LocalNotificationPeriod_3Mins @"LocalNotificationPeriod_3Mins"
NSString *period;
if (timeInterval == kLocalNotificationTimeInterval_1Mins) {
period = LocalNotificationPeriod_1Mins;
} else {
period = LocalNotificationPeriod_3Mins;
}
notification.userInfo = @{ @"id": period, };
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
}
这里，简单介绍了UILocalNotification的常见使用方式，往往用于固定周期内唤醒用户。
