I am developing an iOS 7+ app and was wondering if there was a way for an app that wasn't running (i.e. not running in the background but completely killed) to start running and perform a function such as a web service call. I am aware of mechanisms such as background fetch and core location being able to send events to an app while in the background (but still running/suspended). Is there such a way to send events to an app that is not running?
I know the answer is probably no, but I need to confirm it.
