Receive notification only the app is in foreground

[GENL]

I build a mobile social network and I want to update the number of likes of a post using a push notification. But I don't want the users to be disturbed each time a post is liked when the app is in background. So is there a way to tell the mobile app to receive notification only when the app is in foreground?

Thanks

@GENL This is possible for iOS, but for Android you have to make a background service and user should register this in settings. This service should allow you to process notifications even if user swiped the app. Like Skype does.

Happy to look at any PR that wants to implement this functionality.
