We consider matter-wave solitons/oscillons in the presence of gravito-optical surface traps within the framework of mean-field equations. We pay special attention to the dynamics of both solitons and oscillons against the reflecting platform, the position of which can either be varied periodically or quasiperiodically with time. It is seen that with the temporal variation of reflector's vertical position, the dynamics of the soliton can change from periodic to quasiperiodic while that of the oscillon can change from regular to chaotic.
