I think you need to capture a weak reference to self, otherwise you have a memory leak (the global Notification Center has a reference to self, and never goes away).

Once that leak is fixed, don't we also need to unregister for this notification in our dealloc method?

self is a static object though, so I would not expect the dealloc method to ever get called.

I mean that WKProcessAssertionBackgroundTaskManager (self) is a singleton, so "leaking" it is the expectation.
