can plugin-notification be used for scheduling local notifications even when app is not running ?

I am working on a application that needs to send notification to users periodically on every morning, afternoon and evening. the user won't be keeping the application open for throughout the day, so how do i approach this scenario where i need to run a background worker to send local notifications periodically on scheduled time period, is there a way to do it with the current implementation of plugin-notification ?

i am trying to implement this on mobile devices mainly and I didn't get any documentation for implementing background periodic notification locally, I have noticed there is something related to schedule in the API, not sure if that can handle my scenario, kindly help.
