Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
This is not possible. Only audio, location, and voice-over-IP services can run in the background.
For what you are trying to do, the closest thing would be Push Notification services -- but that will pop-up an alert to the user, which will not provide the seamless experience you describe (badge numbers increasing in the background).

Ok let's forget about the badge, I just need to reloadData:
The best you can do is to start a background task, which will allow you to keep updating for up to 10 minutes after the user presses the home button. The iOS Application Programming Guide has the sample code to get you started. This post from Dr. Touch does a good job of explaining how it works:
You can add a badgenumber by using UILocalNotifications. Or by just setting the applicationIconBadgeNumber in your UIApplication.
And also you can setup timers (like the clock app does) so that your app is fired up after a set interval. (don't set it to 10 seconds, but make it longer).

So those timers will force an App to reopen? What if you're within another app?

RootViewController.h
- (void)switchToBackgroundMode:(BOOL)background;
RootViewController.m
- (void)switchToBackgroundMode:(BOOL)background
{
if([blogEntries count] == 0) {
[self refreshData];
}
reloadTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10.0 target:self selector:@selector(refreshData) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
AppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
RootViewController *mainViewController = (RootViewController *)self.navigationController.visibleViewController;
[mainViewController switchToBackgroundMode:YES];
}
Am i missing something here? I copied all this from the Breadcrumb App from the iOs sample codes
