Answer 1

In your case you need to set fireDate its is date/time on which your notification will be arrive and also set repeatInterval it's describe repetition of your notification. Here you need to set kCFCalendarUnitDay because you want to repeat notification daily.

REPEAT UNIT:

NSEraCalendarUnit
NSYearCalendarUnit
NSMonthCalendarUnit
NSDayCalendarUnit
NSHourCalendarUnit
NSMinuteCalendarUnit
NSSecondCalendarUnit
NSWeekCalendarUnit
NSWeekdayCalendarUnit
NSWeekdayOrdinalCalendarUnit
NSQuarterCalendarUnit

For more information there are some SO's question.

Answer 2

In AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  [launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
  return YES;
 }

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification 
{    
  UIAlertView *notificationAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Notification"    message:@"This local notification" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
  [notificationAlert show];
   // NSLog(@"didReceiveLocalNotification");
}

This code in .m file to your ViewController :

-(IBAction)startLocalNotification 
{  
  NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
  [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"h:mm a"];
  NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init];
  dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:timeStr];

  NSLog(@"startLocalNotification");    
  UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
  notification.fireDate = dateFromString;
  notification.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;
  notification.alertBody = @"This is local notification!";
  notification.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
  notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
  notification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 10;
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];    
}
