How do I process activities on android while app is closed?

A lot of apps handle information while the app isn't active, and send push notifications to mobile devices. Is there a way to handle that with Construct?

I have the same question, for iOS.

I am also searching on the same thing. Any help guys?

I don't think C2 can do background processing. Btw what type of process are you planning to run in the background? If you are looking for push notification you can consider Cocoonjs+(Parse or Urban Airship).

A simple Build queue or production queue for example. It takes 10 mins to build the house. so even if app is closed the game should be able to alert the player via a notification of "house Built" message!

oh i get it.. you want something like a local notification. the push notification i mentioned earlier is something triggered from the server side. hmm, i guess its a limitation for C2 being non-native. You might need to go through the Cordova build. Try checking this one out: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugi ... round-mode or https://github.com/Red-Folder/Cordova-P ... undService . You might need to create a custom C2 plugin for this. Btw this is somewhat related to this unanswered question is-c2-compatible-with-cordova-plugin-background-app_t145426 . Best of luck ^^.

Wow Thanks a lot for this help. It means a lot! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> Will try it out and update if I able to get it work so that community can be facilitated as well.

you can do push notifications from intel xdk also, however i cant really say to much! in old intel xdk there was a option to setup a server side permission! in the build , for .apk's however i dont have no clue about IOS!

For time based things, use this plugin: http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_time_awayl.html

I am using it for a time-based gifting system. I can't be bothered to explain how to do it, you'll just need to do a bit of thinking (it's fairly simple).

For local notifications, cranberrygame has a plugin for that (he has a plugin for almost everything you need) which I am also using, but you need a premium account to get it.
