Tried with no luck unfortunately :-(

Seems like this has now been confirmed as intended behaviour, as we suspected.

@brsenger you can check the roadmaps probably most relevant to you here,

Thanks BBSJdev for sharing information.

@BBSJdev: I agree to the fact that background app cannot invoke any application.. however, in my case, my application is not in background yet and sending invocation, unless the API indicates that application is already in background but the event is just for our information :-(

You're welcome feel free to use the like button if you feel I've helped, although I haven't given you a solution sorry.

I'd say minimising and a dying app are pretty equivalent both are not going to get any user interaction.

Personally I don't think you are going to get any further on this so maybe worth closing off this thread and revisiting again when headless apps are released, up to you.

@BBSJdev: I should have liked it earlier... apologies for you reminding me of that :-(

I have got an alternate to do it, using Push and Invocation method.. when app is going in background it can send a http request to server (I hope I can send http in background - need to make sure I can do it) and then server can probably push a message and hopefully i can bring app to foreground (not sure if I can bring application to foreground with server push message)...

Thanks for your continued help

There are a few threads along similar lines on this and by extension probably lots of people interested in doing this.

So if you do get something working post it up.
