Push notification : what is the best strategy ?

[fpierron]

Hello,

I need to update every week the content of the iPhone App that I am building.

1/ Is it possible to update the app "backstage" = when the app is installed but the user do not use it ?

2/ Is there a way to have a icon for notification such as the red circle notification when the app has new content to present ?

3/ what is the best strategy to update the content ? I have design this :
a) when the app is launched, I bump the server to get new content.
b) if the server says "yes, there's new content", I download it

ok, but how to send a notification to tell the user that he has to launch the app to get new content ?

Sorry if I am not clear.
