I have the Eenies game on my iPhone 4 and I have Notifications for the entire iPhone set to OFF. Just now, the Eenies game popped up a notification while the iPhone was locked and the game wasn't even running! It told me my daily bonus is ready. Is iOS this broken that it can't even keep a simple setting straight and working???? How in the world is the Eenies game able to bypass the low level system settings? This blows.
Got a tip for us?

WTF? How Did An App Bypass Notifications Set to Off?

As far as I'm aware this is probably just a local notification (introduced in iOS4). They are not the same as push notifications which you disabled in settings. Think of them more like scheduled calendar alarms.
I'm a little curious why this person even continues to hang out here. Based on post history, every post is anti-WhateverTheThreadIsAbout.

Got a link for that?

Bingo.
Although IMO, Apple should:
1) Change the wording in the "Notifications" section of the Settings app to make it clear that it's talking about push notifications (note how they don't say that in the screenshot I've attached to this post)
2) Add a separate option to disable/customize Local notifications.
