ios sdk show alert without launching the app

Question

I have incorporated custom URL feature in my ios application. I would like to pop an alert on the browser itself when the application is relaunched from a screen other than home screen. I know if the app is relaunched from home screen or not. I am now popping an alert in the application it self. I want to throw the alert with out launching the application may be on the browser itself.

Thanks.

I think that is not possible, as when you are firing the URL, the control is in iOS Safari app. (Not in our custom app), and whatever you can do is - write code in your app only. So until your app gets launched, your code will not get to run, and alert won't be shown.

I am not sure if there is any other way around, this is just my own thinking.
