Open view controller when APNS is received in iOS - ios

Question

Hey I'm new to iPhone and I have been trying to use an Apple push notification. Basically, what I want to do is that when user clicks on the received push notification message, then i need to open a specific view controller. I have added custom data with key parameter "type" to my payload JSON, so on behalf of notification type value i need to open particular view controller instead of the main view controller.
here is my payload JSON :
{"aps":{"alert":"This is testing message","type":"Notify","badge":1,"sound":"default"}}
my code is :
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
splashViewController = [[SplashViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SplashViewController" bundle:nil];
self.window.rootViewController = splashViewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo
{
//this will call when your app will get any notification from server.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
NSDictionary *aps = (NSDictionary *)[userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
NSMutableString *notificationType = [aps objectForKey:#"type"];
NSLog(#"notification type is = %#", notificationType);
//For redirect to the view
UIViewController *viewController;
if([notificationType isEqualToString:#"Notify"]){
//Notify updates
UpdatesViewController *uvc1 = [[UpdatesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"UpdatesViewController" bundle:nil];
viewController = uvc1;
}
else {
//Voting & QA
VotingViewController *votingViewController = [[VotingViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VotingViewController" bundle:nil];
viewController = votingViewController;
}
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
My code is not presenting other view controller. As mentioned in my code, i am getting two kind of web service (notification type) 1. Notify and 2. Voting from Apple. i dont know how to present specific view controller on behalf of notification type, if type is "notify" then i need open UpdatesViewController else it will open other viewcontroller. If anyone knows how to do this, please help me.
Thanks.

//For redirect to the view
UIViewController *uvc;
if([notificationType isEqualToString:#"Notify"]){
UIViewController *updates = [[UpdatesViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"UpdatesViewController" bundle:nil];
// add updates specific data updates.data = [aps objectForKey:#"data"];
uvc = updates;
}
else if([notificationType isEqualToString:#"Voting "]) {
UIViewController *voting = [[VotingViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VotingViewController" bundle:nil];
// add voting specific data voting.data = [aps objectForKey:#"data"];
uvc = voting;
}
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:uvc animated:YES completion:NULL];

you should check the aps in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
didReceiveRemoteNotification only works when app is running or suspended.
