Is it possible to set a reminder in an iOS application that notifies the user with a custom popup on the phone without the application having to run?

Question

I want to set a reminder in an application, close the application completely and then get a custom popup at the time my reminder was set.

I know about Local Notifications and Push Notifications but it seems like for Local Notifications to work the application must be open.

Thanks

who said that? uilocalnotification will work both in foreground and in background. — manujmv, May 23 '13 at 11:13

Do a bit more reading. UILocalNotification docs clearly state in the first paragraph The operating system is responsible for delivering the notification at the proper time; the application does not have to be running for this to happen.

Thanks for the answer, just to get back to the question, can I have a custom popup appear outside the application. a Popup that does not look like the default popup. I want to be able to set the colors, backgrounds etc. – JakesRassie May 23 '13 at 12:43
