Hi guys, I'm new to programming for iOS and couldn't find if such a functionality existed. I am basically interested in the following situation:

You have a custom app running in background. In the meantime, let's say you get two sms messages, a WhatsApp message, and a missed phone call. I would like the custom app to be able to identify the source of the notifications (I do not care about the contents). Meaning, is it possible to somehow see 2 notifications from sms, 1 from WhatsApp, and 1 phone call, without any other information? (the contact who sent it or the message contents are irrelevant).
