Configuring push notifications iOS - ios

Question

I used Pushbots to configure push notifications for my app. After I get the notification, I am able to put it into a UITableview. However the notification only appears after the user restarts the app. Is there a way to immediately add the notification text after the user gets it, or when the user clicks the notification?
In my AppDelegate.m:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[Pushbots sharedInstanceWithAppId:#"--myAppid--"];
[[Pushbots sharedInstance] receivedPush:launchOptions];
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
// This method will be called everytime you open the app
// Register the deviceToken on Pushbots
[[Pushbots sharedInstance] registerOnPushbots:deviceToken];
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error{
NSLog(#"Notification Registration Error %#", [error userInfo]);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
//Handle notification when the user click it while app is running in background or foreground.
[[Pushbots sharedInstance] receivedPush:userInfo];
//NSLog(#"UserInfo: %#", userInfo);
NSString *msg = [userInfo valueForKey:#"aps"];
NSString *alertMsg = [msg valueForKey:#"alert"];
//NSLog(#"Push Notification:%#",alertMsg);
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:alertMsg forKey:#"ReceivedNotifications"];
NSLog(#"Alert: %#", alertMsg);
}
In my ViewController.m:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController () <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *notifTableView;
#end
#implementation ViewController
{
NSMutableArray *notif;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.notifTableView.dataSource = self;
self.notifTableView.delegate = self;
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *checkAlert = [[NSString alloc] init];
checkAlert = [defaults stringForKey:#"ReceivedNotifications"];
NSLog(#"Alert Message: %#", checkAlert);
notif = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:checkAlert, nil];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [notif count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell"];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [notif objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}

Answer 1

In your ViewController viewDidLoad method start listen to a NSNotification as below,
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(receiveNotification:)
name:#"TestNotification"
object:nil];
Add this receiveNotification to your ViewController as well. Inside this if condition you can reload the TableView.
- (void) receiveNotification:(NSNotification *) notification
{
// [notification name] should always be #"TestNotification"
// unless you use this method for observation of other notifications
// as well.
if ([[notification name] isEqualToString:#"TestNotification"])
NSLog (#"Successfully received the test notification!");
}
Don't forget to remove the notification when you dealloc the ViewController,
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
Then from your AppDelegate once you receive a notification, post a Notification to TestNotification name
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:#"TestNotification"
object:nil]; //You can set object as nil or send the object you want to get from the ViewController

try to use NSNoticationCenter same as DilumN said in his answer , when you receive the notification then reload the tableview in that method.
