I was wondering - is there a way to force how a push notification will appear to the iPhone user? There are 3 options in settings for the user to choose - none, some kind of top banner that dissappears after a short time and an alert with buttons.

The problem is, while developing an application for iPhone, I found out that using the didReceiveRemoteNotification function did not return any results if I didn't click on that top banner. This doesn't seem to be firing up even when the application is taken to the foreground.

I need those data provided by this function to act upon in my application.

Thanks for your time!

Yep, there is no way for you to do this. Check this answer and the comments below. Probably you should implement another method to poll for events while app is running.

ps. A more appropriate place to ask this question would be StackOverflow.
