Hope this will help you :)

addTimerInterval is depcrecated in iOS 4.0, make sure you deployment target. You can use.

- (id)dateByAddingTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)ti

Also make sure you set the correct value for fireDate

Please Use below code.

 self.localNotification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:60];    self.localNotification.alertAction = nil;    self.localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;    self.localNotification.alertBody = @"Hey looks like you're meeting up with %@, why don't you let your other friends know what fun they're missing out on? Share a photo :)";    self.localNotification.alertAction = NSLocalizedString(@"Read Msg", nil);    self.localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber=1;    self.localNotification.repeatInterval=0;
