Is there any way to schedule local notification with different text on every day?

Question

I want to schedule a local notification with a text like "Day 1" on first day and "Day 2" on second day like that:

let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound], categories: nil)
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)


    let notification = UILocalNotification()
    notification.fireDate = // ex: 5 am
    notification.alertBody = "Day 1" // on second day it want to be "Day 2" , on third day it want to be "Day 3" like that..
    notification.alertAction = "be awesome!"
    notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
    notification.userInfo = ["CustomField1": "w00t"]
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification)

Is there any possibility to do this?

User will receive a notification of first Day as "Day 1"

Second Day as "Day 2"

Third Day as "Day 3"

Is it possible to set a notification like that?

I mean you have to count the time which long = 1 day. Then change the text. — Twitter khuong291, Apr 23 '16 at 09:53
Sorry.. How to count.. I didn't catch what you mean.. Where to count.. User may or may not open the app, even though the notification appear and more over user no need to open the app. — Deepak ravi, Apr 23 '16 at 10:02

You can schedule notifications for whole week with something like this:

func scheduleAwesomeNotifications() {
    for day in 0...7 {
        let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound], categories: nil)
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)

        let intervalForDay = Double(60 * 60 * 24 * day)

        let notification = UILocalNotification()
        notification.fireDate = NSDate().dateByAddingTimeInterval(intervalForDay)
        notification.alertBody = "Day " + day.description
        notification.alertAction = "be awesome!"
        notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName
        notification.userInfo = ["CustomField1": "w00t"]
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification)
    }
}

Thank You, Working fine... But for long days like a year or more.... How to do... if i use a for loop for an year Apple will allow this for publishing... for loop for one year is correct approach... — Deepak ravi, Apr 23 '16 at 14:31
Use NSCalendar approach for that. With it you can add any value to a date http://stackoverflow.com/a/36696052/4108415. — Ivan Nesterenko, Apr 23 '16 at 16:05
