iOS app - push notification alert when entity date property reaches deadline

Question

I'm trying to make an app that warns me when a current event is going to end. I have an entity (the event), with a date attribute - which is the end date for the event. How can I set a notification alert to pop up for like two days before the event ends? Any links to other tutorials or any hints will be much appreciated.

You can use Local Notifications for this.
