iOS Question RemoteNotification event not fired when app not foreground ?

[marcick]

I'm not sure because it's a long time I don't work on it, but I believe the behaviour of my app was:

1. App in foreground. I send a remote notification and the event Application_RemoteNotification is fired.
   
2. App not in foreground. I send a remote notification and clicking on it the app is started and the event Application_RemoteNotification is fired.
3. App not in foreground. I send a remote notification and starting the app (without clicking the notification) the event Application_RemoteNotification is fired again.

So in any case the event Application_RemoteNotification is fired. Do I remember wrong ?
Because actually I see in case 3 the event is not fired.

Yes.

RemoteNotification event will not be raised in case #3. You shouldn't rely on the notifications to deliver important information. Your app should check for such information (from your server) when it starts.

Understand. Thank you.

The real problem is that when I start the app all the related notifications are cleared.
If the user don't see a notification is arrived and start the app, the information is lost.
But again sounds strange to me I didn't see this behaviour when I was developing the app. Is it correct ? Or maybe something has changed during the time (B4I or IOS update) ?

This is how notifications always worked in iOS.

Sound strange. I remember in the past during the app developent, I was manually deleting a lot of notifications.
I didnt' had to do that if they were automatically deleted at app start.
Maybe I'm confusing, I don't know

Notifications are not cleared automatically when the user starts the app by clicking on the icon.
When the user clicks on a notification it is cleared.

I've tested it with iOS 10.

So I remember correctly.
I have to investigate why now my notifications are automatically cleared ......
