Answer 1

It will be possible to get "all the dialogs from Quickblox" which are initiated with your Quickblox ids.

now after getting all the dialogs - you need to identify which are new/unread messages and based on that you may able to generate the local notification for each new dialog.

below is the code to get all the dialogs from Quickblox service.

/** Retrieve chat dialogs for page

@param page Page with skip and limit
 @param extendedRequest Set of request parameters
 @param successBlock Block with response instance, arrays of chat dialogs and chat dialogs users IDs and page instance if request succeded
 @param errorBlock Block with response instance if request failed

 @return An instance of QBRequest for cancel operation mainly.
 */
+ (QB_NONNULL QBRequest *)dialogsForPage:(QB_NULLABLE QBResponsePage *)page
                         extendedRequest:(QB_NULLABLE NSDictionary QB_GENERIC(NSString *, NSString *) *)extendedRequest
                            successBlock:(QB_NULLABLE void(^)(QBResponse * QB_NONNULL_S response, NSArray QB_GENERIC(QBChatDialog *) * QB_NULLABLE_S dialogObjects,NSSet QB_GENERIC(NSNumber *) * QB_NULLABLE_S dialogsUsersIDs, QBResponsePage * QB_NULLABLE_S page))successBlock
                              errorBlock:(QB_NULLABLE QBRequestErrorBlock)errorBlock;

Hope it will be helpful to you.
