Multiple UNUserNotifications not firing

Question

I'm setting multiple UNUsernotifications as below,

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    notifCount = 0;
    UNUserNotificationCenter *center = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
    [center requestAuthorizationWithOptions:(UNAuthorizationOptionBadge | UNAuthorizationOptionSound | UNAuthorizationOptionAlert)
                          completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
                              if (!error) {
                                  NSLog(@"request succeeded!");

                                  [self set10Notif];

                              }
                          }];
}

In the set10Notif method, I'm setting multiple(8 for testing) notifications with time 10 seconds from current time.

-(void) set10Notif
{
    notifCount = notifCount+1;
    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"10.0") && notifCount < 10)
    {
        // create actions
      NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];

      [calendar setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];

       NSDate *fireD = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:notifCount*10];

       NSString *fireStr = [self returnStringFromDate:fireD withFormat:@"hh/mm/ss dd/MM/yyyy"];

       NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSCalendarUnitYear|NSCalendarUnitMonth|NSCalendarUnitDay|NSCalendarUnitHour|NSCalendarUnitMinute|NSCalendarUnitSecond|NSCalendarUnitTimeZone fromDate:fireD];

      UNMutableNotificationContent *objNotificationContent = [[UNMutableNotificationContent alloc] init];
    objNotificationContent.title = [NSString localizedUserNotificationStringForKey:@"Notif!" arguments:nil];
    objNotificationContent.body = [NSString localizedUserNotificationStringForKey:fireStr
                                                                        arguments:nil];
    objNotificationContent.sound = [UNNotificationSound defaultSound];

      UNCalendarNotificationTrigger *trigger = [UNCalendarNotificationTrigger triggerWithDateMatchingComponents:components repeats:NO];

      UNNotificationRequest *request = [UNNotificationRequest requestWithIdentifier:@"Prayer"
                                                                          content:objNotificationContent trigger:trigger];
      UNUserNotificationCenter *userCenter = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
      [userCenter addNotificationRequest:request withCompletionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
        if (!error) {

            NSLog(@"Local Notification succeeded");
        }
        else {
            NSLog(@"Local Notification failed");
        }
        [self set10Notif];
       }];
   #endif
    }
}

All the local notifications are set. But only one notification got fired in the device, that's the last one.

Why can't the multiple notifications are not firing? What did I do wrong?

Hoar

how did you make worked it for multiple notification ? i am stuck on same issue. Please have a look: #44133379 – Cryolite

@JamshedAlam, Give different requestWithIdentifier value in UNNotificationRequest *request = [UNNotificationRequest requestWithIdentifier:@"Prayer" content:objNotificationContent trigger:trigger]; for each usernotification... – Hoar

please see my question. I already have set different identifier there. But i am getting first alarm only, for the other alarm, it is not firing when i change my mac time, re run project for second alarm. #44133379 – Cryolite

Answer 1

Give a different "requestWithIdentifier" and "time delay" for each notification and try, may it works for you.

Sherly

Giving a different "requestWithIdentifier" does the trick. no need for time delay... – Hoar

I was trying to do the same and want to fire location notification more than 1 times. But I was keeping "the requestWithIdentifier". I kept different "requestWithIdentifier". It also worked for me. – Determinant

thanks its solved my problem .... Give a different "requestWithIdentifier" worked for me ... – Scrobiculate

@Scrobiculate : Can you share the code it will be great help – Quirinal

MULTIPLE NSUSERNOTIFICATION FIRE ON CUSTOM DATE AND TIME
