title: Is it possible to process a silent notification in iOS when your app is not running?
body: <p>I haven't found the exact answer to this elsewhere on this site.  The goal is to send a silent remote notification (no user alert/badge/sound) to my app, with a custom payload, and then have the app process this even if it was not running when the notification was received.  If the app was not running, is it notified and given a chance to process the (silent) notification?  Or is it only notified the next time the app is launched?  </p>
  
  <p>So far, I've only been able to confirm that you can receive a non-silent notification when the app is not running, or a silent notification when the app IS running. I haven't seen confirmation of what happens if you receive a silent notification and are not running. </p>
