David,
could it be that there’s a confusion about the terminology?
Notifications (and indications) are sent out by the peripheral to push content to the central without having
to repeatedly read a characteristic.
Of course, you can write a notification handler that starts a scan. Remember to set the corresponding
background-mode keys in Info.plist.
And custom service UUIDs are also not a problem. In fact, there are only a few standard profiles yet, and
most manufacturers use custom UUIDs for their tasks.
