Windows phone SMS plugin with extra functions - windows-phone-7

I'm using the code from this article, with phonegap app.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/glengordon/archive/2011/12/02/phonegap-on-wp7-tip-3-sending-sms-and-intro-to-plugins.aspx
The plugin works all fine, but when the SMS is sent, I want to return to my app automatically. Is this possible? If its possible to send an SMS without go to the default integrated sender, it could be even better.
I'm a newbie to C# and windows phone apps - please help me ;)

there is no way to avoid the integrated SMS sender due to security reasons. User will return to your app after hitting the Back button on the SMS conversation page (that is esured automatically because of the stack-controlled nature of paging in WP7, but will not return after hitting the home button (again, this behavior cannot be prevented in any way) and your app will be suspended (possible to return to it by holding the back button and choosing it).

Browser focus on PWA apps after sending SMS via SMS url

I'm developing a PWA that exchanges public keys between friends using SMS.
The process begins with one person clicking a link to a partially populated
SMS url and opening a window - the portion of the url which is populated is
the body, which points to a dynamic url generated by the app.
For example:
"sms://&body=http%3a%2f%2facme.com%2findex.php?id=128409234823432"
What remains is the selecting of a contact from your phone book to send the link to.
The problem I am facing is the browser loses focus to the SMS app and there is no
way to programmatically bring the browser back to the foreground if the SMS is sent
or even canceled - This causes confusion for non-tech users as they think
the app has been closed.
Is there a way to return to the browser after the user sends the SMS?

Xamarin iOS - How to make sure messaging app is up to date?

I have set background fetch to the app. But, It is not called all the time (it depends on how often the app is used by the user)
This is what want to do: When someone send a message to me, I need to make sure that my phone receives the message. Right now, I am using APNS (which works well is the phone is online and working). But, let's say the phone is off or internet not working, the user will never know that a new message has been received, unless he opens the app.
Is there anyway to make sure that, as soon as the user CAN be informed that a new message has been sent, a notification will be displayed on his phone? Right now, if the phone is off and a message sent, if I turn it on, nothing will happen.

User status detection in chat application

Can an app use both alerts and banners in Notification Center?

I am creating a Mac OS X application to use Notification Center. Some notifications should remain on the screen until the user interacts with them, and others should disappear shortly after displaying.
The NSUserNotificationAlertStyle key and changing System Preferences allow changing between banners and alerts. However, both approaches change all the notifications sent from my application.
Can I send some notifications as alerts and others as banners? If so, how?
NSUSerNotificationAlertStyle is the only way the developer can set the default notification style for the application, and it sets the style for all notifications from that app.
If you think it's really important for you to have 2 different kinds of notifications you can work around the problem by having a hidden helper application with a different NSUserNotificationAlertStyle than the main app.
Remember though you set the default notification style, but the user can change it whenever he wants in the notification center prefs, making your helper app useless.
No. The different notification types exist so that the user may select what he/she prefers, not so that the developer can.
If you feel your app should have this ability, you should file an enhancement request at http://bugreporter.apple.com and let Apple know.

Problem while Making a Call and SMS in same Process on Windows Phone 7

I am developing a application for Windows Phone 7 in which on a button click I need to first send some text messages and then make a call. But as both process are user dependent so I am not getting how should I make it such a way that unless user first finishes the sending messages my app should not initiate call. Because unless I do so it will give thread abort exception.
Thanks;

With the current SDK there is no way to know if the SMS was actually sent. It could also have been changed by the user before being sent!
Lots of people have asked for this functionality (or similar but for other tasks). Let's hope it comes in a future update.
I believe you can't do it in parallel, because WP7 isn't really multitask.
Do you really need to do it in parallel?
Search for the events deactivated and activated. They are in App.cs.
After you make a call, and back to the program, the activated event will detect it, so you can add code there to send SMS.
Done in reverse way. First make a call and then when user comes back after tombstoning send an Email...but flag manipulation need to be saved in isolated storage.
