Ok your native solution works for Android , what about IOS ?

Do you have any example or something?

Basically, it’s what Auro has explained.
But in a more practice way, I have a main controller that connects in the server, loads the app’s database (sqlite) and just then loads the result in the screen.

When the app is closed, the app is stopped. When something happen in server, a push notification is sent and when the user opens the app, the main controller does those steps and show the results updated in the screen.

There is no secret. But maybe the big trick is to set “cache:false” in the “.state” in your app.js when configuring the routes.
This grarantee that everytime the view is fired, its controller is also fired, executing all the functions again (Actually I’m not sure if this will make any diference in this process, but, anyway… just imagining the problems you maybe are going through).

Ex.:

.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
  $stateProvider
.state('app.panel', {
    cache: false,
    url: '/panel',
    views: {
      'menuContent': {
        templateUrl: 'templates/panel.html',
        controller: 'PanelCtrl'
      }
    }
  })

But if you could not do the trick, tell me what you are getting and maybe I can help.
