I'm not sure, but I don't think iOS lets apps auto-start and run in the background forever. This would be needed for any alternative push notification app, else it would be too easy to miss notifications.

It doesn't, but iOS will wake your app up when it receives push notifications.
As stated previously: this is useless.

What is the point of building alternative push notification services that can’t even properly rise above the bar of technical feasibility?
