Is AppGameKit capable of being set to run in Background as a BG Process?
Is it fine even if it is 1 FPS or every x seconds or minutes.
Allowing this engine to send push notification, we tested, it did not work when in BG.


IF NOT, can a developer put in this request as a first priority?

Without this function, game like match-3, network multiplayer, etc., is practically useless on this engine...

i think your plan is to awake a paused app from other phones app?
so the not paused app will send a push notification, the push notification arrived, after click the paused app opens and continue.

No...
I mean like local push notification.

such like: We miss you! Come back and play!

On that note, how do we set service?
It is nice we could calculate time and send from PHP web server, but a local one where user has minimized the apps would be useful too.

You don't need to have the app running in the background.

Check the documentation for setting local push notifications. It's an OS driven feature.

Look at LocalNotifications on this page: https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Extras.htm

There's also an example program in the Projects folder that comes with AGK.

If this LocalNotifications works in agk, you set a time stamp when the Notification shall pop up. then your app can goto pause.

if the app is open i think GetLocalNotificationExists can help.
