A NSUserNotificationCenter like thingy for iOS

BMAppNotifications

The basic idea of this was to make something that could be as easy to use as NSNotificationCenter, but with some of the niceties of NSUserNotificationCenter on OS X. This is still a work in progress, but I've provided a sample project that will let you get the picture of what it does.

I know people say you shouldn't use other UIWindow objects in your iOS app, but it just felt like this was the perfect candidate to do so. Please let me know if you see something I could be doing better. The rotation stuff feels kind of gross, but it works with minimal WTFness.

Requirements

1. ARC

Demo

Here's a video demo of what it can do Awesome Demo

Known Issues

Please check the Issues for the most up to date list of issues, feature enhancements, questions,etc.

1. The change style functionality only works reliably if you register a class BEFORE sending any notifications. The reason is there doesn't seem to be a way to clear the reuse queue of the table view so it's pulling out potentially the wrong class.

2. There is a strange issue where you'll scroll the notifications off scren, then back on, and they will seem to be missing, but they are still there, and you can dismiss them. Very strange.

No way to show or hide all the notifications at once

It would be nice if I could hide the entire list of notifications or show them from a button or something.

Unable to reliably change the appearance of **ALL** cells upon registering a new display class

Calling the following will not change all of the cells that are currently showing to the new display style.

- (void)registerClassForDisplay:(Class)displayClass;

This is most likely because there are still cells in the reuse queue so it's pulling out an old cell that does not match the current displayClass.

Scrolled off cells lose their appearance, but stay in the table.

With a large list of cells, if seems if you scroll the list off in either direction, cells will come back without any appearance (you can see the openings of where they should be). They are still tappable and generate the correct delegate feedback, but just are not present.

No way of just dismissing a cell without the tapped delegate getting called

There should be a way to just dismiss a cell without generating the same callback that the user tapped on a cell and wants to activate it.
